Team 3 (19) vs Arana 4 (9)

Sat 28 Apr 2012 • Ruth Lee • Go to the Team Page
It took us quite a while to get used to playing on grass again, but we managed to slow down our passing and our normal game in general.  This worked and we came away with another strong win, in hot conditions.  Well done on your general play and especially for sustaining no injuries!

Well played Team 4 ! Well done by Tenille in her first game for the season with Samford, she was ably supported by Claire, Clare and Rach in defense whilst Molly and Beth brought the ball down the court to Sarah and Talyor who did the job in converting the opportunities into goals.

Team 13 lead 6 to 1 at half time with Isa scoring most of those goals (practice is paying off) unfortunately in the second half The Gap came back and we lost our Netball Mojo.

Well done girls, we'll get them next week.

Sat 21 Apr 2012 • Sharyn McNeil • Go to the Team Page

Today's game was a real nailbiter from the start.  We were 1 point down at the end of the 1st quarter then 1 point up at half time.  We managed to get in front in the 3rd quarter but they equalled us by the end.  Well done girls for keeping up the pressure and playing hard for the whole game.

Team 3 (51) vs The Gap 5 (5)

Sat 21 Apr 2012 • Ruth Lee • Go to the Team Page
Congratulations on another strong win, ladies, where we met our set targets for the match - including minimising errors.  It's amazing how different those goal rings are to those on the inside courts and how much they affected our shooting accuracy - but we eventually adjusted.  Our defense was exceptional and still becoming stronger with each game.  This game gave us the opportunity to really work on breaking away from our defending player and moving the ball smoothly down the court, resulting in some outstanding mid-court play. Well done, ladies!

Team 4 (18) vs Gap (23)

Sat 21 Apr 2012 • Joanne O'Brien • Go to the Team Page

It was an improved performance from Team 4 this week.  Coach Scott is very happy to see that everyone is taking steps to improve their game.  There were some great shots from Rach and Taylor with Clare and Claire defending well against very strong players.Tansitional play from Beth, Molly, and Sarah is really starting to gel.  Well done girls and looking forward to more improvement next week.

Girls you worked so hard all game even with the hot weather and confusing quarters!! Our defence was amazing and our attack is improving with every game. Thanks so much to Rach and Jess for filling in for us, you both did a great job. 

Team 8 (15) vs All Hallows 20 (17)

Sat 21 Apr 2012 • Kylie Conway • Go to the Team Page
Wow girls...you had us on the edge of our seats!! You held your own against a great opposition and it really came down to being anyone's game. It is wonderful to see your skills improving each week thanks to your determination and your wonderful coach Zelinda. Keep up the great work and thanks for another enjoyable match to watch.

Sat 21 Apr 2012 • Kerri Bolton • Go to the Team Page
What was in those spray bottles??? Great game, considering we haven't played for 2 weeks the girls played awesome. With some really great defence, this allowed us to be really great down the court, to finsih off with unbelievable shooting. Girls keep up the great work!!!!!!!!

Team 10 (6) vs The Gap 18 (29)

Sat 21 Apr 2012 • Belinda Whitehead • Go to the Team Page

What a tough game!  You will did so well to stay positive.  We thought this game would be a tough one and we were right!  We did have moments of brilliance, but unfortunately just not often enough, but I've seen the brilliance in weeks prior so I know it's there!   This game gave us an opportunity to also try out some different positions and the girls played well and tried out a few new things.  Well done.

Team 11 (27) vs All Hallows School (9)

Sat 21 Apr 2012 • Shakira Brunjes • Go to the Team Page

Once again the girls showed us what they are made of.  They started off slow however as the day warmed up so did the girls.  Proving they have the stamina to give it their all even when it is hot and they are tired.  Keep it up and remember everyone needs to practice shooting. 

Team 12 (2) vs The Gap (12)

Sat 21 Apr 2012 • Jennifer Cox • Go to the Team Page

I honestly don't know how these girls kept going in the heat as they really felt it today.  It was only during the 2nd quarter where the opposition scored the majority of their goals.  Wayde, Eilish and Olivia showed some really awesome defense yet again.  Our passing and attacking let us down strongly today.  Overall the girls remained positive and it showed in their resilience to fight back and keep The Gap at bay!

Team 13 (6) vs Phoenix (35)

Sat 21 Apr 2012 • Adam Price • Go to the Team Page
It was another great effort, against a really tough opponent. There were some good signs of improvment accross the court today. The girls also stepped up when their team mates were injured in what turned out to be quite a physical encounter. Team 13 were not intimidated by the pysicallity or the score and kept trying hard right to the end. Well done girls!!!

Well done girls you are improving each week and you put on a really riveting game today, in very hot conditions.  Our girls tried really hard and it was great to have Sian in the team.  Her defending in the goal circle was outstanding.  Jess shot an amazing goal from just inside the goal circle.  Emma and Taylor were great at intercepting the ball and Cara again showed that she owns WD.

Team 16 (5) vs Flugel 9 (7)

Sat 21 Apr 2012 • Rachael Grieve • Go to the Team Page

It was our first game with our full team and it was a rough game, but the girls played well, only losing by 2. The defense played extremely well, stopping the opposition from shooting too many goals.  The teams skills are improving and they are now defending over the ball and there is a lot less stepping. In the fourth quarter the girls started getting tired and coming forward was a major problem, but the girls did well and held up strong. Great effort girls!

Team 17 (6) vs All Hallows 31 (9)

Sat 21 Apr 2012 • Nicola Humphrey • Go to the Team Page

How big were those AHS girls!  Lillian’s partner was twice her size but it didn’t stop her from trying, which is why she deserved player of the match.  Olivia and Harriet paired up really well in the goal circle. Maddie and Danielle did a great job of feeding the ball into them. Sinead was great at picking up the loose balls.  Tia did a great job of making sure she was available for the passes.

Congratulations on a great win! Everyone played so well and never gave up considering the heat. I think every girl is now getting into the spirit and realising just how fun netball is! All your netball skills are certainly improving and that was evident by the way you all played today. Looking forward to our next game!!!

Team 21 vs St Joseph's

Sat 21 Apr 2012 • Ilsa Sammut • Go to the Team Page
Even though we looked suitably wacky in our crazy socks,it was a very HOT day at the office today and we played against a well drilled team in St Joseph's.  The girls tried a new skill today; sticking to our player - with some very pleasing results.  Our passing was up to its usual high standard and the girls are cooperating well together on court.  Well done Team 21, you put in a mighty effort under difficult conditions.

Team 22 vs Valleys 33

Sat 21 Apr 2012 • Natalie Stone • Go to the Team Page
Wow what a fantastic game girls. The best I have seen you play.  You all played such a brilliant game.  Great defence and great attack work.  You all worked really well as a team.  Congratulations and keep up the good work.

Team 3 (51) vs Valleys 5 (8)

Sat 14 Apr 2012 • Ruth Lee • Go to the Team Page
A very impressive effort, ladies. Following a reminder from our coach to keep the pressure on and play hard, we did exactly that and the score tells the whole story.  We were very strong in defense again, the mid-field play is becoming much smoother and the shooters all improved throughout the match.  Congratulations on playing a strong game in good spirits and showing what we are capable of.

Team 4 (15) vs All Hallows (29)

Sat 14 Apr 2012 • Joanne O'Brien • Go to the Team Page
It was hard work under difficult conditions on Saturday with the rain making the court very slippery.  Team 4 rallied well after a slow start and everyone made a contibution to the team effort.  It was a very impressive debut from Claire Lack who was supported in her first game by the other Clare. Taylor and Rach put in some great shots under pressure while Jess, Sarah and Beth fought strongly in the mid court.  A little more self-belief needed Team 4.  You can do it!

Sat 14 Apr 2012 • Emily Palmer • Go to the Team Page
Another very tough opponent today with conditions not the best. Thanks to Jess and Caitlin for filling in this week. Girls your defence is great and you got some great intercepts, we just need to work on our transition play down the court. Keep your heads up. See you all at training.

Team 8 (10) vs The Gap 16 (21)

Sat 14 Apr 2012 • Zelinda Chaffey • Go to the Team Page
There must be something in the water at The Gap! Our opposition towered over us in both goal circles. This proved difficult for our goalies to put more points on the board and also for our defence to stop The Gap. The match was filled with fabulous intercepts across the whole court. Our fantastic attacking play and the girl's consistent determination made for a great match which the girls should be very proud of despite the loss.

Team 10 (16) vs Vipers (15)

Sat 14 Apr 2012 • Belinda Whitehead • Go to the Team Page
Girls, girls, girls ..... the supporters have no nails left!   This game was the opposite of last week, much tougher defence and attack, rain, a little bit of sun and very slippery, cool conditions.   I'm not sure how you pulled off a win, but some stunning play in the last 5 minutes of the game (literally) provided us with the last lucky goal within seconds of the final hooter.  Congratulations, a very exciting game.  I can't wait for next week! :-)  Belinda

Team 11 (60) vs Q of A (7)

What a sensational game to watch.  The girls worked well in all areas.  They gave it everything from the first to the final whistle.  Keep up the fanastic teamwork!

Team 12 (13) vs All Hallows (3)

Sat 14 Apr 2012 • Jennifer Cox • Go to the Team Page
Excellent game by the girls this weekend.  Some very strong defence by Wayde, Shakira, & Olivia kept All Hallows limited to 3 goals.  Great support in our centre court by Annabel, Eilish & Calista to get the ball back into our goal area.  Well done to our shooters Charlee-Jo, Millie, Olivia & Eilish who were very accurate this week.  Despite the score, it was still a very tough game.  We are working well as a team. We have a few areas yet to improve on but we are well on our way to challenging the Firebirds!  Well done ladies!

Team 13 (4) vs St Josephs (16)

Sat 14 Apr 2012 • Adam Price • Go to the Team Page
We had a tough game against St Josephs this week, who were the better team on the day. There were some positive signs throughout the match as team 13 started to gel. We learnt a lot from the game and are looking forward to next weeks game. Well done girls!

Our fist game with an almost full team.  Well at least we had enough girls on court for all the positions.  And the girls played really well as a team. Bella and Jessica did a great job at shooting.  Emma made lots of intercepts, and Gretel was everywhere.  A good game to watch, well done girls.

Congratulation on another big win girl’s .You started the game strong, and tried extremely hard. In the rain the girls slipped around on the grass but it did not greatly affect their game. The girls struggled in the third and fourth quarter but they pulled through wining by three. Thank you to Maddie and Olivia for filling in on such short notice. Keep up the good work girls.

Team 18 vs The Gap

Sat 14 Apr 2012 • Georgia Lawry • Go to the Team Page
In last week's game the girls were short a few of players and still played exceptionally well with Harriet and Tia filling in, so thankyou very much to them.Holly as always was great defending and was fantastic when shooting for the first time. Katherine and Georgia work great together in the circle and both shooting with accuracy. Chloe and Faith did great in mid-court which helped their teammates at both ends. While Meg had great hands while defending in the circle! All the girls work together so well and are starting to create an amazing team!!

Another superb performance today from the mighty Maroons.  There was no sign of those post easter egg blues and even in the horrible rain the girls shone through.  A big thank you to Maya who played TWO WHOLE games - she shot the goal of the season much to the crowd's enjoyment; she's small, but she's mighty.  Abbey and Ruby did another sterling job to combine in goals; these two really know how to work the goal circle.  Congratulations to Aalia who played her first game today - she intercepted plenty of passes and looked like she has played netball all her life.  Ellie was awesome as centre and really concentrated on her passes which were accurate every time.  Milla was everywhere and assisted her team mates to get the ball down the court.  She was part of a wonderful passage that saw SIX PASSES from our team.  It was exciting stuff.  The powerhouse of the team today was Pippa who did not stand still once.  She defended like a demon and was very committed to each pass.  Congratulations on a wonderful game today girls, your red frog lollies were a well deserved reward.
