CANA - Day 4 (Tuesday)

Fantastic weather conditions today in Adelaide for netball.

The U17s played played SAUCNA again this morning. The girls started poorly and were always playing catchup. Bec Boxall came into the game after half time and the team rallied. Unfortunatley the girls werent able to get over the line and they lost the game by only 1 goal. Best Players: Bec Boxall - GD, Ashlee Nichols - GK and Sara White - GS.

Their second game was to be a hard one against top of the pool - Westfields. This is a well oiled team and extremely disciplined and acurate. They were run away winners 35-17.

Our U13s again played Marleston this morning. The Tassie girls looked sluggish and disappointingly uninterested - this of course enabled the Marleston girls to take hold of the game and were clearly the better team on the day winning by 17 goals.

Their second game tonight was against SAUCNA and again the girls had their work cut out for them. Marleston were making the most of every scoring opportunity whilst Tassie were indecisive and it caused turnovers. SAUCNA won 42-20.
Best players: Emma Groves - GD and Isabella King - C tried hard.

CANA - Day 3 (Monday)








We finally getting to see the sun today - YAY !!!
U/17's played at 2.00pm against Corcoran Park (Townsville). Our girls looked like giants against them :( . It's difficult to report Best Players because the final score was 70-9. Claire Minton - WA, Bec Boxall and Ashlee Nichols all played well.
The U/13's played at 5.00pm against Corcoran Park and unexpectantly experienced a tough game. A few player changes at half time enabled the girls to reduce deficit and they were unlucky to lose the game by only 3 goals !! Final Score: 33-36. Best Players: Chelsea York-GA, Chloe Eiszele-GS and Isabella King-C.
The U/13's enjoyed a few hours of fun and excitement at the Glenelg Beach House today. Its an indoor waterpark. I have included a few photos of their excursion.
My housemates (Lisa Eiszele, Clay and Michelle King, Melinda Roach and Michelle Fogg) along with myself enjoyed a lovely countermeal at the "Seven Stars" pub just along the road from our house and then we stopped by the Bottleshop and enjoyed a drink and a few laughs before heading to bed at 2am !!!
Clay and Michelle Fogg were heading to the airport at 5.30am for their flights home - poor buggars !!!
