CANA Day 3 Continued...........

It's been an extremely warm day here in Townsville. Ian and I spent quite a bit of time alond The Strand today and Ian actually had a swin in the ocean.

The girls (U/13's & U/17's) played at 5.00pm and they were proven to be tough games against SAUCNA (south australian united church netball association).

Our Under 13's had a very disappointing game and failed to perform in all areas of the game. They were convincingly defeated 44-14. :-(

The Under 17's game was fantastic to watch. Claire and Nat Curtis teamed brilliantly in the goal circle and they were fed accurately from Zoe Brown and Chontel Madson playing Centre and WA respectively.

Jess Boulter came on to give Nat Curtis a well earned rest and she continued to combine well with Claire who was playing GA.

Genn Sullivan and Laura Reggett held up the defensive end and made some spectacular intercepts. They went on to win the game by 2 goals. The girls hard fought attack on all loose balls and fast paced aggressive style of play is why they are undefeated to date.

Best Players: Claire Minton, Genn Sullivan and Zoe Brown. Well Done Girls !!!

Hope you like our photos i've posted. The girls have a rest day on Wednesday, so Ian and I are taking Chels, Kalinda and Claire to Magnetic Island on the ferry. They're looking forward to that.

(Lisa, hope this colour of print is much better for your aging eyes - LOL !!!)

CANA Day 3 and it's Hot, Hot, Hot !!!

The U/15's played first at 9.00am. Although I was unable to watch the game, I understand that they easily accounted for Corcoran Park (gold) 72-15. Well Done Girls. (Sara White was able to take the court having recovered from severe cramp in the first game). Well Done Girls !!!

The Under 17's also played at 9.00am. As the sun beat down on the courts, it was extremely difficult for the players to keep cool. We were lucky to be able to sit and watch the game from a sheltered area (due to the early time slot).

The girls got off to a great start and the game flow just continued on from there. With accurate shooting, great teamwork in the centrecourt and fantastic defence at the other end of the court, the team easily accounted for Marleston 47-26.

Best players: Genn Sullivan, Nat Curtis & Zoe Brown. (Claire Minton and Laura Reggett were rested for the first half, but definitely proved their worth when taking to the court in the third quarter). Great game to watch !!

The Under 13's played in the next timeslot at 10.30am. Ian and I found a spot to put our chairs - under a huge tree at the bottom end of the court. Fuzz and the under 17's joined us later to watch the girls play.

Chelsea at GA teamed with Kate Archer at GS and with excellent feeding from the circle by Bec Joseph and Renae Brelis the girls steadily increased their lead throughout the game.

Tahlia Hayton played well in defence when she came on at half time to give Kalinda Gasparin a rest from the heat. The girls combined well and easily accounted for Corcoran Park (blue) 44-20.

Best players were: Bec Joseph, Kate Archer and Tahlia Hayton.

Teams play their 5th game later today - will keep you posted !!
