Team 2 (36) vs Pine Hills (15)

Hot! and with No reserves to call on, we had to dig deep.
Got our act to-gether by the 3rd quater, with no goals scored by the oppostion.
Aggressive, effective defence down one end and out of the box shooting down the other, we came home strong
to a conviencing win.
Great confidence boost for the start of the season!

Team 3 (33) vs Phoenix (8)

Fantastic Result Ladies and what a great start to the season. The hardworking defence never let up and the mid court kept suppling the shooters with opportunities to score. From the first quarter you had them on the ropes and kept them there for the rest of the game. Keep it up !

Team 4 (28) vs Raiders (17)

Well done Team 4 ! You started well and finished the last quarter strongly. Jess and Clare had them well contained in defence, whilst Rach and Taylor kept shooting under pressure, even with uneven hoops and into the afternoon sun. Sarah, Molly and Beth did a great job through the mid court with sensible passing and some excellent defensive pressure. Good start to the season.

Team 6 vs AHS9

Team 7 (1) vs Canons (39)

With only six of our actual players and a very tall opposition the girls continued to improve throughout the game. Our defence was great, just those couple of loose passes we need to work on. Thank-you so much to Rachael Archer who filled in and played a great game. You all kept working till the last whistle and we can only improve from here! Enjoy your holidays girls.

Team 8 (18) vs Q of A 5 (15)

How impressive were you all.  The opposition were taller and bigger than them but Team 8 rang rings around them.  Anna you did some very impressive shooting and you did your best after you were injured, great determination and heart shown by you.  Alyssa you opened up the circle and were able to get the ball in so that you and Anna could get those goals, well done.  Megan and Ali, WOW, the way you guys found the space and intercepted so many passes was wonderful to watch and Cassidy, for someone who hasn't played before you aced it on Saturday.  Sophie and Indi showed alot of guts and determination, not much got passed you in defense and what did, you got back with rebounds.  A job really well done girls.

Team 9 (5) vs All Hallows (7)

WOW!!!!! What a great close game right up to the last quarter. Considering the extremely hot weather the girls pulled out all the stops,great defence and good passing.

Thanks girls

Fantastic work girls!  Our defence was outstanding, our attack play worked so well down the court and enabled our shooters to do their job.   Ellie: excellent work in the circle as GS having never played there before, Olivia: great shooting and positioning, you and Ellie were a great team, your play looked like a training run, Therese: excellent defence and positioning in the mid court always keeping your eye on the play, Amy: great defence as GK keeping the ball out of the circle, Eloise: fantastic work as GD - you read the play so well and as a result obtained so many intercepts, Phoebe: excellent attack skills in the mid court and won lots of battles!  AND Eilish: thank you for being a wonderful C for our game.   Great game - we all look forward to the next one.

Team 11 (25) vs Pine Hills (16)

What a start to the season.  The girls had a fanastic defensive game producing numerous intercepts and making life difficult for the shooters.  It was a tight game but the girls took it away in the last quarter for a well earnt win.  Keep up the hard work at training and it will show in your game.

Team 12 (6) vs Aspley (13)

Despite the extreme heat conditions today, our team played an awesome first game!  No win today, but you certainly won me over with the way in which you all pulled together as a team and continued fighting until the final hooter rang.  Keep up the fantastic work girls - we can only get better from here on in!

Team 13 (10) vs The Gap (10)

Samford got away to a very good start in the first half. The heat caught up with us in the second and The Gap mounted a spirited fight back. Samford hung in there and salvaged a draw. Well done girls!!!

Team 14 (8) vs CANONS (9)

Team 15 (0) vs Aspley 15 (36)

Team 16 (9) vs Gap 32 (8)

The game began with a bit of a rough start, but in the end the girls found their feet. It was an extremely close game but the team pulled through winning by one. The girls improved over the game and tried their hardest at all times, rising up to meet the challenges from the Gap. A BIG Thank you to Maddie Grainger for filling in for the team, and keep up the great work girls.

Team 17 (8) vs The Gap 35 (1)

WOW! WOW! WOW! You girls are fantastic.  Team Blue did an absolutely wonderful job on Saturday, you spread out when the ball was yours, you defended the position and you chased every single loose ball like they were the last Easter Eggs left on earth.  Great shooting from Tia and Sinead, fantastic intercepts by Lillian, Emma and Lucy.  Olivia found the space and Harriet and Madi were just the best sticky defence, not much got past them.  Really well done girls it was a joy to watch.

Team 19 vs Valleys 29

Team 21 vs Flugels

Season 2012 has started with a bang!  Team 21 were awesome, looking like professionals rather than rookies.  Ruby and Mila combined in goals in the first quarter and started as they meant to go on with terrific shooting and passing.  Abbey was everywhere around the court and Pippa was a powerhouse of energy and enthusiasm.  When Carys came on she was fantastic in defence and intercepted plenty of passes.  Samantha and Jennifer showed their potential with good anticipation and moving around to get the ball.  Chloe was marvelous at moving down the court to create space and used her height to her advantage.  Ellie did a wonderful job in defence and was always waiting for the next pass onto her teammates.  We were all very proud of their efforts.  This is going to be a very exciting season indeed.

Team 22 vs Pine Hills 23

What a fantastic start to our first ever netball season.  For girls that have never played a game of netball before they sure showed some skills and talent.  The girls had a fantastic game and displayed the skills that they have been learning at our training sessions. Not only that, they were having fun and enjoying themselves.  
Well done "Roses".  Looking forward to our next game.
