Match Reports for May 2012
Winter Season 2012
Saturday, 26 May
Team 3 (17) vs Q of A (35)
Sat 26 May 2012 • Scott Grieve • Go to the Team PageThis was our second game in the next division and some of the team are wishing they are back in the old Comp ... Our opponents this week were younger, fitter and taller, I was confident in being able to match them but we are need to believe that and just play smarter. It might take us a few more games to adjust but I'm sure we'll get there.
Team 4 (19) vs Pine Hills (35)
Sat 26 May 2012 • Joanne O'Brien • Go to the Team PageIt was a much improved performance from Team 4 this week. Claire took some great steals and Tenille is really finding her rythmn in defense. Bethany, Molly and Sarah did a good job of bring the ball down the court and Rach had a great game at WD. Clare and Taylor combined well in the goal circle but more accuracy needed girls. We just need to improve our focus on attacking the ball and keeping possession.
Team 6 vs Pine Hills10
Sat 26 May 2012 • Patrica Dwan • Go to the Team PageTeam 7 (9) vs St Margarets (64)
Sat 26 May 2012 • Emily Palmer • Go to the Team PageUp against a much taller and well-drilled team was a tough ask for our six girls this week but they continued to work all game. Our attack has improved so much since the last game and we are definitely finding our goalers a lot easier. Thanks so much to Anna for playing!! You did great even against people double your height!! See you at training :)
Team 8 vs Vipers 3
Sat 26 May 2012 • Kylie Conway • Go to the Team PageThe whole team played a brilliant game against a very fierce opposition. Despite the score line you didn't give up and kept playing hard right until the final whistle. This sportsmanship is a credit to you all and to your fabulous coach Zelinda. Keep up the great work girls. It is always a pleasure to watch you play.
Team 11 (40) vs Q of A (19)
Sat 26 May 2012 • Shakira Brunjes • Go to the Team PageWe mixed things up a bit this week and moved a few girls around. This meant it took a little while for the girls to find their groove but once they did they took off. Our shooters did well against the tall defenders and the number of intercepts this week was outstanding. Remember hard work at training pays off each week in the game.
Team 13 (6) vs Pine Hills (6)
Sat 26 May 2012 • Adam Price • Go to the Team PageWell done girls, our second draw of the season. We were so close to a win, looks like we will have to wait another week.
Team 14 (6) vs RAIDERS (8)
Sat 26 May 2012 • Donna Holliday • Go to the Team PageGREAT WORK GIRLS !!
WE HAD SOME GREAT INTERCEPTS AND WORKED REALLY HARD IN DEFENCE DOWN THE WHOLE COURT.UNFORTUNATELY GOING DOWN IN THE DYING MINUTES BY 2.
FANTASTIC EFFORT FOR NO RESERVES. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK - POW ANNIKA
Team 15 (3) vs St Margarets 10 (8)
Sat 26 May 2012 • Nicola Humphrey • Go to the Team PageOur defence was really strong this week, with Emma getting some great rebounds. We were great at moving the ball down the cout. The girls are working really well as a team.
Team 16 (17) vs Valleys 25 (7)
Sat 26 May 2012 • Rachael Grieve • Go to the Team Page
WOW! We started
the game with 6 players on the court, we were all nervous to see how the game
would turn out, however once the girls started they did an amazing job and they
are improving so much. Thanks you so much to the awesome nipper fill ins. The defense
were like ninjas today doing an awesome job. The shooters did a really good job;
they communicated to each other and moved around together in the circle nicely.
The attack was fabulous, they were coming forward (yay!) and there was a lot less
stepping! well done girls. Keep up the amazing job at training and in the
games.
Team 17 (9) vs Canons 18 (2)
Sat 26 May 2012 • Nicola Humphrey • Go to the Team PageAnother really good game from our girls. It was really hard awarding player of the day this week because everyone played really well. Emma did a great job of intercepting the ball in the goal circle and Tia shot some great goals, especially a couple of really good long shots. Which is why they were both awarded player of the match. Harriet did a great job of finding the open space and you all worked really well at coming forward.
Team 19 vs St Margarets 14
Sat 26 May 2012 • Tracey Churchill • Go to the Team PageTeam 20 vs Canons
Sat 26 May 2012 • Sandra Finnen • Go to the Team PageCongratulations girls! I'm sure i can speak for everyone when I say that the improvement in our game was very evident this week! Everyone played so well and everyone of the girls should be so proud of themselves! lets keep it up girls :)

Team 2 (37) vs Cannons (46)
Sat 19 May 2012 • Sharyn McNeil • Go to the Team PageDespite the loss there were many highlights to be proud of.
Well polished opposition, could quite catch them....maybe next time.
Team 3 (21) vs The Gap 4 (28)
Sat 19 May 2012 • Ruth Lee • Go to the Team PageThis was a hard fought match for us, made even more difficult by playing on grass. It was a great introduction to the higher standard of play in Division 5. We need to focus on finding our space as we move the ball down the mid-court, minimising errors and, of course, to improve our shooting accuracy. Our defence was the strongest part of our game. Our thoughts are with you, Karen, hoping you will heal fast and make a speedy return. Congratulations, ladies, on playing strong and in good spirits.
Team 4 (12) vs Aspley 8 (51)
Sat 19 May 2012 • Joanne O'Brien • Go to the Team PageIt took quite a while for the first goal to be scored but unfortunately once Aspley started to score they were very hard to stop. Our shooters came under extraordinary pressure from much bigger players. As always Team 4 showed great team spirit and supported each other well. We need more focus on strong passes and treasuring the ball especially against teams that attack aggressively. Keep working hard girls, it is great to see you continuing to play positively.
Team 6 vs Phoenix5
Sat 19 May 2012 • Patrica Dwan • Go to the Team PageTeam 7 (2) vs Phoenix (33)
Sat 19 May 2012 • Emily Palmer • Go to the Team PageAnother tough game with not all our players feeling 100% but you girls continued to work and tried your best. Everyone was working hard to create space and come in front of our players we just couldn't finish it off. Jade, I hope your arm is ok and you make a speedy recovery!!
Team 8 (20) vs Raiders 11 (23)
Sat 19 May 2012 • Kylie Conway • Go to the Team PageTeam 11 (28) vs Pine Hills (13)
Sat 19 May 2012 • Shakira Brunjes • Go to the Team PageAnother great win by the girls. It was hot but the girls kept going until the end. It is nice to see the girls reading the play and backing one and other up when needed. The flow of the ball down the court was solid as was our defence.
Team 12 (3) vs St Josephs (20)
Sat 19 May 2012 • Jennifer Cox • Go to the Team PageTeam 13 (32) vs Flugel (5)
Sat 19 May 2012 • Adam Price • Go to the Team PageTeam 13 played will this weekend against a very tough opposition. It is pleasing to see them all improve each week the training and practice is paying off. Lauren and Meg both scored thier first goals for the team (well done). Adenique had another great game at goal keeper this week.
Well done girls!!
Team 14 vs Q OF A
Sat 19 May 2012 • Donna Holliday • Go to the Team PageTeam 15 (0) vs The Gap 27 (9)
Sat 19 May 2012 • Nicola Humphrey • Go to the Team PageIt was another really hard game but our girls tried hard. Sian got some good tips in the goal area and Cara made some good intercepts and got a lot of loose balls. We fought really hard, but in the end they were a much better team than us.
Team 17 (9) vs Raiders 18 (20)
Sat 19 May 2012 • Nicola Humphrey • Go to the Team Page
This was a
really hard game for our girls. There was some excellent shooting from Maddie.
Lucy did a lot of chasing loose balls,and played really hard all game. Which is why she deserved player of the match
this week. Our passing was good, and we
got a lot of good intercepts. But in the end, Raiders were just a little bit
better than us.
Team 19 vs ST Josephs 5
Sat 19 May 2012 • Tracey Churchill • Go to the Team Page
It was an evenly matched and high-scoring game this week against St. Joseph's. The girls all played well with some noticeable improvements in moving the ball up the court, some quick ball passing and strong defending. Our player of the match this week was Amber, who displayed great speed on the court. Every week the girls are improving, growing in confidence and developing a strong team spirit.
Team 22 vs Phoenix 17
Sat 19 May 2012 • Natalie Stone • Go to the Team PageToday girls you put in a great effort and played really good netball. Your netball skills are improving and you have come so far since the begin of the season. Keep up the great defense and chasing of the loose ball. Keep on enjoying yourselves!
Saturday, 12 May
Team 1 (17) vs Aspley (17)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Karen Cattelini • Go to the Team Page
Down to 6 players with an injury to Emily, Sarah Lack kindly took over from her sister and the girls out scored them in the last 1/2 to tie the match. Great effort girls!!!
Team 1 (23) vs The Gap (20)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Karen Cattelini • Go to the Team Page
Our first win for the season - well done girls. It was a shame that it was a shortened game, but a win is a win!!
Team 2 (21) vs Flugal (8)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Sharyn McNeil • Go to the Team PageComfortable win. Synergy across the court.
Pleasure to watch.
Team 2 (17) vs Valleys (16)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Sharyn McNeil • Go to the Team PageNot off to a good start with our Senior shooter Ellie, falling during warm-up and now out for a good month with a fractured elbow:(
Everybody stepped up this game. Came out strong from the first whistle and left Valleys trying to catch up all game. Team-work at its best!
Team 3 (24) vs Aspley 6 (6)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Ruth Lee • Go to the Team PageThis was a great win over the 2nd placed team on the ladder. Our 2nd half was exceptionally strong, as our fitness allowed us to play strong through the mid-court and increase our defense, keeping the opposition to just 1 goal. Belinda showed a lot of patience with the strong defence against her. Karen O and Marie just played our of their skins! Well played everyone!
Team 4 (12) vs Valleys (27)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Scott Grieve • Go to the Team PageUnfortunately there is quite a disparitty in this Inter's divison and whilst the team played really well in the previous game, the same plan came unstuck against the bigger,stronger and leading team of the division. It was good to see you all kept your heads up and put more pressure on their attack in the second half, we will however need to improve our drive for the ball and apply more pressure to create a closer contest next time we play them.
Team 6 vs AHS10
Sat 12 May 2012 • Patrica Dwan • Go to the Team PageTeam 7 (5) vs Flugel (21)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Emily Palmer • Go to the Team PageWow girls I think we need to have that hour break every week. You girls completely turned it around this game and came out firing!! The score doesn't really do the game justice as you girls were in there for the first half. Jemima, Dani and Pearl were tireless in defence. Bella and Jade shot with such confidence and continue to grow on their partnership. Caitie and Sanchia you girls worked the ball really well and I even saw some effective dodges!! One very happy coach girls! You all are improving week to week and that's all I can ask for :)
Team 7 (1) vs AHS (24)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Emily Palmer • Go to the Team PageWe took quite a while to warm into this game girls but you eventually clicked into gear. Once again our defence all the way down the court continues to improve and impress, it's just our passes and getting in front of players which we still need to work on. Great work pushing through the last quarter with only 6 girls on court and you continued to work until the final whistle.
Team 8 (19) vs Phoenix 8 (4)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Zelinda Chaffey • Go to the Team PageGame 2: It was hard to believe, but you did even better than the first game. Great team work, you all knew where you all were so we lost very little possession and what we did loose you picked up very quickly. Really a great game to watch, thanks Girls!
Team 8 (13) vs Pine Hills (8)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Zelinda Chaffey • Go to the Team PageGame 1. It's all coming together now, you all played exceptionally well. Combination of Megan and Anna in shooting was great to watch, you both knew where you were and you backed each other up very well, a big hooray for Anna whose defense was well over a head and a half taller than you, but you were able to move around her like a sleek cat. Ali, great work keeping the ball moving down court with some exceptional intercepts by you Cassidy and Alyssa. Sophie, you can jump!! Great work from you, keeping your eyes on your partner and on the ball not easy but you were doing a great job of it. A very BIG thank you to Hannah who filled in for us, you played a fantastic game.
Team 11 (17) vs The Gap (15)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Shakira Brunjes • Go to the Team PageCongratulations girls! You played your hearts out. It was hot and your opposition were tough but to your credit you came back from 5 down at half time to produce an outstanding win. It was amazing to watch you all dig deep and fight your way back. I am so proud of you all. Keep working hard and you will continue to succeed.
Team 11 (25) vs Raiders (12)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Shakira Brunjes • Go to the Team PageWhat an awesome game to watch. Hana and Eliza combined well in the circle both shooting some great shots. Kirsty, Sarah and Rachel E. all tried out positions they haven't played before or for a very long time and rose to the occasion. Jess and Abbey were outstanding in defence. Great job girls!
Team 13 (3) vs Valleys (14)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Adam Price • Go to the Team PageGood game by the girls. The Valleys girls were the better team on the day. We had a lot of chances but did not quite turn them in to goals. We did show a lot of fight considering that we were a couple of team members down. Defence was very good against the Valleys tall timber.
Well done team 13.
Team 14 vs VALLEYS
Sat 12 May 2012 • Donna Holliday • Go to the Team PageTeam 15 (0) vs Valleys 22 (3)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Nicola Humphrey • Go to the Team PageOur defense was again excellent during this game with some great moves down the court. Our passing is improving, well done girls.
Team 15 (0) vs Pine Hills 19 (9)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Nicola Humphrey • Go to the Team PageOur girls put up a great defence, with Emma getting some great tips and intercepts in the goal cirle. All the girls worked well at moving the ball down the court.
Team 16 (1) vs The Gap 31 (0)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Rachael Grieve • Go to the Team Page
Wow! We had a great start to the game by scoring the only
goal, and then the defense did an amazing
Job, never letting the opposition score. It was nail biting on the sideline in
the last 15s hoping the defense will pull though, not letting the opposition score
even one goal. Well girls, keep up the hard work at training.
Team 16 (3) vs Canons 17 (4)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Rachael Grieve • Go to the Team Page
It was an interesting game, as we started the game off slowly. In the second half the girls turned the game
around and they outscored the opposition 3 to 1, the defense really shut them down, unfortunately it was not quite enough to get them over the line but they played very well all the same. Well done girls!
Team 17 (9) vs Valleys 26 (6)
Sat 12 May 2012 • Nicola Humphrey • Go to the Team PageOur girls did a lot of bunching the 1st quarter, but after some stern words from coach during the break, the girls started to spread out. Dani played really well this week especially when she had a stint at her favourite position center, which is why she was awarded player of the match. Emma and Maddie did an excellent job or working together in the goal circle and managed to score lots of goals between them. Our defence worked really well this week especially Lillian in the WD position.
Team 19 vs The Gap 39
Sat 12 May 2012 • Tracey Churchill • Go to the Team PageTeam 21 vs St Margarets
Sat 12 May 2012 • Ilsa Sammut • Go to the Team PageThe wonderful Team 21 put in another superb effort on Saturday. Despite the sweltering heat the girls played a very competitive game with many of their developing skills coming to the fore. The girls are really starting to gel as a team and are really getting the hang of passing and intercepting the ball. Their shooting skills were also good this week. It is pleasing to see how they are remembering their positions on the court, witnessed by only a few instances of offside. Congratulations on a great game Mighty Maroons!
Team 22 vs Flugel 21
Sat 12 May 2012 • Natalie Stone • Go to the Team PageA brilliant effort today girls and a very impressive start to the game. You are working well as team and trying very hard. Keep up the good work.
