A beautiful day in Adelaide. Although there was total cloud cover the temperature soared during the day and some teams were playing in 28 degree heat. It's a rest day for the netballers - A chance for the players to catch up with family and/or hit the shops or do some sightseeing.
Unfortunately the U/13s were only able to have a 1/2 day to catch up with their families as they played SAUCNA blue early in the afternoon. The girls were playing some fantastic netball and the goals were soon notching up. They were eventual winners by 6 goals. Best Players: Chelsea York - GA, Emma Groves - GD and Isabella King - C.
The U/17s played their only game at 7.30pm against Marleston. This was sure to be a tight tussle as their last encounter was a real fight to the end with Marleston winning by just 1 goal. The girls fought hard and lead changed several times throughout the match. Marleston eventually won the game by 4 goals. Best players: Sara White - GS, Bec Boxall - GD and Hollie Coleman played well in the Centre.
The U/13s played their second game also at 7.30pm (luckily they played next to each other and I was able watch both games!!) against Corcoran Park (from Townsville). This was also a very tight tussle and the lead was changing throughout the game. Our girls tried hard but disappointingly lost the game by only 1 lousy goal :( . This team must win their final rostered game on Thursday against Port Adelaide and then cross their fingers and toes to see whether they will make the finals on Friday. Best players: Chelsea York - GA, Emma Groves - GD and Linda Fish - GK.
Ian surprised Chelsea and Claire today by arriving in Adelaide at 9am. Jamie Roach also arrived today to watch the last half of the week of some great games of netball.
I apologise for the lack of photos again today - it is due to the late games and the poor camera I have.
