Diamonds vs BDR Jets�38–42
A tightly contested game today, with Diamonds working relentlessly to close the gap right to the final whistle.
The defensive unit was outstanding. Leanne applied consistent pressure on the GS, forcing long-range shots, while Libby and Conners delivered some excellent intercepts and kept the pressure high on both passes and shots. Edie showed sharp reactions, picking up rebounds and loose balls with great awareness.
Through the middle, Holly and Chloe H rotated between C and WA, driving strongly through the court to transition play into attack. Their support on the circle edge was constant, delivering some well-timed and accurate feeds.
In attack, Grace worked hard to bring the ball into the circle in Q1 and remained a reliable support option throughout. Lucy John held her space well, providing a strong target for feeds and converting with some lovely finishes. I switched between WA, GA, and GS, creating fresh attacking combinations. In the final quarter, Grace and Chloe paired in the circle, using smart movement out of the D to open space for drives and effective rotation.
A great team effort—unlucky not to take the win, but plenty to build on.
We’ll get them next time.
