Match Reports for July 2012
Winter Season 2012
Saturday, 28 Jul
Team 3 (47) vs Raiders (19)
Sat 28 Jul 2012 • Scott Grieve • Go to the Team PageFantastic result, 2 more games to finish the season out strongly and hopefully take that momentum into the finals. It was lovely free following game to watch with excellent defence, quick centre court movement and nice finishing in the goal circle.
Team 4 (20) vs Aspley (39)
Sat 28 Jul 2012 • Scott Grieve • Go to the Team PageWell you got off to such and positive and strong start, it was dissappointing to see the game go the way it did. We need to work harder at being able to withstand being pushed around and also not worry about whether the whistle gets blown or not and just rely on our better netball skills. I'm impressed that you don't get dragged into that particular style of play though ... I firmly believe that cleaner, faster netball is the way to go about winning a netball game !
Team 5 (38) vs Raiders (22)
Sat 28 Jul 2012 • Sandra Finnen • Go to the Team PageWhat a fabulous game. The girls started on fire and the flame never went out. They were hungry for the ball and their confidence grew throughout the game.
Gabi and Emma were brilliant in the goal circle and so accurate. Jess, Lucy, Jess and Hannah covered and intercepted in the mid court with determination and Alyce and Kristen made it very difficult for our opposition to score. They may have beaten us twice before but you certainly outplayed them on Saturday.
Team 7 (8) vs AHS (36)
Sat 28 Jul 2012 • Emily Palmer • Go to the Team PageComing to the end of the season the girls continue to put in 100% effort even though we haven't achieved the results we wanted. Once again the girls' transition play was very competitive against the AHS girls but we just couldn't finish off the play with dropped balls and not getting in front of our players being our downfall this week. Bella, Sanchia and Dani were tireless in defence gaining a lot of rebounds. Caitlin and Pearl worked the ball down the court and tried really hard to create space. Jemima and Jade are developing into a solid combination under the hoop with some terrific passing to split the defenders. Continue to work hard and finish off the season girls!! :)
Team 8 (24) vs Raiders 11 (17)
Sat 28 Jul 2012 • Zelinda Chaffey • Go to the Team PageTeam 9 (11) vs The Gap (17) (30)
Sat 28 Jul 2012 • Kerri Bolton • Go to the Team PageGreat game girls, even though we did not get a win, 100% effort from all even when you played in positions that you normally don't play. A big THANK YOU to Jess and Meg for filling in for us (hope you had fun). Last game next week, let's go out and have a great game and most of all lets have fun
Team 11 (21) vs All Hallows (28)
Sat 28 Jul 2012 • Shakira Brunjes • Go to the Team PageIt wasn' the result we were after. However, the girls tried their hardest and should be proud of their efforts.
Team 12 (6) vs St Joeys (19)
Sat 28 Jul 2012 • Scott Grieve • Go to the Team PageGood effort girls this week, you improved so much on the last time you played St J's, so well done there ! And you worked really hard on what I was trying to emphasis this week being treasuring the ball. Keep up the good work, keep working hard on coming forward and making space and re-offering and next time the scores will be a lot closer.
Team 13 (7) vs St Margarets (17)
Sat 28 Jul 2012 • Adam Price • Go to the Team PageTeam 14 (13) vs ST MARGARETS (5)

Sat 28 Jul 2012 • Rachael Grieve • Go to the Team PageThe girls did a great job at sleeping in and resting, saturday morning, as we had a bye. The girls have put a great effort in this year and hopefully the last game will be a good one. See you all on Tuesday, for an awesome training session.
Team 17 (8) vs Raiders 18 (7)
Sat 28 Jul 2012 • Nicola Humphrey • Go to the Team PageTeam 22 vs Phoenix 17
Sat 28 Jul 2012 • Natalie Stone • Go to the Team PageWhat a great game today girls! You all played exceptionally well. There was great defence with some really good interceps. Our attack was on target today with good passing and spreading out around the court. You all worked together as a team. Well done and keep up the good work.

Team 2 (49) vs Valleys (44)
Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Sharyn McNeil • Go to the Team PageAnother nailbiting game! But yet again the girls "Stepped Up" to the pressure.
Down each quarter till the final 8 mins when their superior fitness and determination to win
came to the fore to see them eclipse a much more experienced & physical side.
Team 3 (46) vs Q of A 1 (28)
Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Ruth Lee • Go to the Team PageOutstanding, ladies! By the final quarter, everything came together and we gave our strongest performance yet. Zel, Karen and Emily were able to slow the flow of opposition goals through strong defense, intercepts and great rebounds against 2 young and very strong shooters. Sonya, Karen, Marie and Michelle really found their rhythm by using short passes and holding up the passes until players were free, which provided great delivery into our shooters. Bel, Emily and I improved our shooting percentages yet again and are working well together with all player combinations. There were not many times that we didn't convert out centre pass into a goal. It was a really enjoyable match that was played in good spirits. And a very big thank you to Sonya, Downey Park organisers and the hardcourt fairy for providing hardcourts to play on 2 weeks in a row!
Team 4 (15) vs Valleys (39)
Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Scott Grieve • Go to the Team PageValleys proved to be too much of a challenge this week, with some of our players missing as well. We started strongly enough but their more physical approach endured to run out winners. A big thanks also to Jess and Kristen for filling in for us.
Team 5 (27) vs Valleys (17)
Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Sandra Finnen • Go to the Team PageWhat a great game. We started strongly and won each quarter. Lucy and Gabi shot well and moved nicely around the circle, Kristen and Alyce defended and intercepted in Valleys goal circle and Jess, Jess, Hannah and Eliza covered the mid court tirelessly. Keep up the good work as we head towards the end of the season.
Team 6 vs AHS10
Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Patrica Dwan • Go to the Team PageTeam 7 (15) vs Pine Hills (25)
Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Penny Henwood • Go to the Team PageA great game, with 15 goals scored, which is our best so far this season. All players put in 100% effort, but we tired a bit by the 4th quarter. The defending was good, and lots of talking and calling for the ball. A big improvement on our goal shooting skills with Jemima and Jade nailing most of their attempts. Despite not feeling well, Caitlin played well in the Goal Keeper position, getting lots of rebounds as did Bella. Well done all round.
Team 8 (17) vs Pine Hills 14 (29)
Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Zelinda Chaffey • Go to the Team PageTeam 11 (44) vs Q of A (16)
Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Shakira Brunjes • Go to the Team PageWhat a great game to watch. The girls worked well as a team with the ball flowing nicely down the court and Eliza and Rachel E. finished it off with some great shooting. Rachael A. had an awesome game this week and was always there to make the intercept. Congratulations on a great game girls, you all played brilliantly.
Team 13 (14) vs Valleys (30)
Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Adam Price • Go to the Team PageThe whole team tried hard for the whole game again. Well done girls your fitness is certianly improving you all ran hard the whole game with no substitues.
Team 14 (25) vs THE GAP 27 (7)

Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Nicola Humphrey • Go to the Team PageTeam 16 (9) vs Canons 17 (10)
Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Rachael Grieve • Go to the Team PageThey were crazy, the game was crazy, their hair was crazy. It was such a great game with the scores being close at all times, the girls put in a great effort trying hard throughout the game. The attack was doing a good job at taking the ball down the court and the defense were being like ninjas turning the ball over. The game ended with Clare shooting a nice goal, right on the hooter. It was a tough competition and the girls played to their best. Well done team, see you at training.
Team 17 (4) vs Valleys 26 (2)
Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Nicola Humphrey • Go to the Team PageTeam 19 vs The Gap
Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Kim Edwards • Go to the Team PageThe girls had a high-scoring game against The Gap this week. The girls displayed strong teamwork, improved confidence and quick passes. Our goal shooters worked well as a team in the goal circle with some beautiful goals. All of the girls had fun with the Crazy Hair Day with Miraciah having the craziest hair style. Great job girls!!
Team 20 vs Flugel
Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Sandra Finnen • Go to the Team PageI think i am with all the parents on this one when i say what an improvement! I am so proud of the girls with their achievements and all the effort they put into the game! With only seven players there, playing the whole time was certainly unusual to normal but they all did great to keep the energy and the excitement up in the game. Congratulations girls :D
Team 21 vs St Margarets
Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Ilsa Sammut • Go to the Team PageWow. Team 21 were awesome today. The tenacious defence of both teams was reflected in the low score. St Margarets had some very good defenders, but the Samford girls were equally good. We excelled at the centre pass and the girls really tried to get around their player and come forward for the ball. Execution of this skill paid off every time. Improvement in passing is evident this week and the girls were rewarded for their deliberate accuracy.
Team 22 vs Flugel 21
Sat 21 Jul 2012 • Natalie Stone • Go to the Team PageFinally after 4 weeks off we were able to get back to playing netball. All the girls put in a great effort today (even those that were sick) and a special mention to Pippa from team 21 for helping us out today - thanks Pippa. The girls all tried really hard with lots of chasing the ball and some really good passing and working the ball into the goal circle. Well done girls keep on trying and enjoying the game.

Team 3 (23) vs Raiders 4 (4)
Sat 14 Jul 2012 • Ruth Lee • Go to the Team PageThis was a tough game for the Raiders as they played the immediate game before this one, so they were not only tired but also down 1 player for the 2nd half. So they were probably very thankful it was just a half-hour game. This was an opportunity for us to practice finding space away from our opposition player and we managed that quite well. Congratulations on another strong win.
Team 3 (33) vs The Gap 4 (34)
Sat 14 Jul 2012 • Ruth Lee • Go to the Team PageThis was a close one - and we almost had them this time! The next time we play them - and we will meet them at some stage in the finals - we should be able to come out on top. All players showed a strong display today - and yet there is still room for improvment. Again our defensive players are outstanding. In attack, we still need to find more space, control our passes and improve the goal-shooting percentages. I hope you all enjoyed the match also because it was played in such good spirits.
Team 4 (54) vs Arana (22)
Sat 14 Jul 2012 • Scott Grieve • Go to the Team PageFantastic result this week ! Even though you were playing the bottom team, I was very impressed with how you all played. You kept at them across the whole court, applied defensive pressure and converted nearly every turnover. There were some great shots by Taylor and Clare, to get over 50 goals is a great effort, especially on the grass courts. Also a big thanks to Katie and Hana for filling in for us !
Team 7 (35) vs Raiders (8)
Sat 14 Jul 2012 • Emily Palmer • Go to the Team PageHuge thanks to Rach and Jess who coached the girls this week due to another clash in game times. Thanks to Abbey for filling in for us it was very much appreciated!! The third quarter seemed to be a standout with positional swaps proving beneficial to the girls' ability to move the ball through court. The girls continue to work hard every week and while the improvements are not yet quite being shown in score lines, they are clearly evident watching the game from the sideline. Keep it up girls :)
Team 8 (35) vs Cannons 13 (9)
Sat 14 Jul 2012 • Kylie Conway • Go to the Team PageWhat a fantastic win. All of your hard work and training was on display today. You all tried your hardest right through to the final hooter and never tired. The BIG thank you to Eliza for filling in, you had a brilliant game! We're on the countdown to the finals and it's wonderful to see you all playing so well together.
Team 11 (23) vs Pine Hills (20)
Sat 14 Jul 2012 • Shakira Brunjes • Go to the Team PageA big thank you this week to Glenn and Donna for looking after the girls at the game due to the coach being away. It was hot and humid but the girls hung in there to continue their winning streak. Keep it up girls!
Team 13 (2) vs The Gap (35)
Sat 14 Jul 2012 • Adam Price • Go to the Team PageTeam 14 (4) vs PINE HILLS (12)
Sat 14 Jul 2012 • Donna Holliday • Go to the Team PageTeam 16 (4) vs Gap 31 (17)
Sat 14 Jul 2012 • Rachael Grieve • Go to the Team PageThe girls had a very shaky start, with only 6 girls on the court. The first half they were not confident with themselves and it affected there playing, however after we scored our first goal the team spirits lifted and they started playing really well. In the third quarter the girls did an amazing job, the defense keep the opposition to only scoring 1 goal and our attacks did an awesome job getting the ball down to the shooters, letting Brittany shot 3 goals. Well done girls, you put in a great effort and kept your heads up, we hope to see you all at training.
