Y-Nots fail in their bid against Odds & Evens!!

Our second game of mixed netball last night was a very competitive tussle, and not one of the 14 players on the court could walk away not feeling like they'd given their all !!

GS Lisa Y.
GA Phil S.
WA Jo R.
C Ian Y.
WD Claire M.
GD Bec B.
GK Darren B.

Scorers: Laura & Judy B
Supporters: Chelsea Y. and James A.

(absent players: Lisa B. and Tracey T. both in Launceston at Eistedfords, Matthew G. on holiday in Fiji and Melissa C. is unfortunately sick - get well soon Mel)

The Y-Nots secured a "fill in" player with Jo and she gladly filled the position of WA but also swapped her bib with Ian during the half time break and gave him a short rest while she played in the Centre for the 3rd quarter.

It was a very physical game with all players competing for the loose balls and at quarter time Odds and Evens were in the lead by only 1 goal. They kicked on in the second quarter and with Y-Nots losing concentration at times and having too many turnovers, the Odds & Evens went into the long break with a 4 goal advantage.

Lisa and Phil combined well in the circle during the 3rd quarter and with the assistance of Jo and Ian on the circle they were able to pile on a few goals, however so did Helen and Rick at the other end of the court and we went into the final quarter still with Odds & Evens 4 goals up.

The final quarter was a difficult one. Ian went back into the Centre and Jo at WA. Bec went into GK and Darren was having a run at GD alongside Claire (Fuzz) at WD. Only a few minutes into the quarter, Darren called time as he "twinged" his hamstring, so he and Bec swapped bibs and he battled on.

It was a great hard fought game filled with speed, intercepts and some terrific shooting from Rick (Odds & Evens) and the Odds and Evens eventually ran out the victors by 6 goals.

Well Done Y-Nots !!
