Netball Round Up - Week 1

A VERY bumpy start to the new season, new players starting and some players returning for a 2nd year.
We started off slowly and needed to work on passing and defence, the girls were having to work hard to read the game but we ended the quarter on 5 – 4 up.

After a brief chat the girls were to work on their passing, and this did not work as planned. The passing, defence and shooting just was not happening, whatever the girls tried it was not working and Chichester started to match us shot for shot. The 2nd quarter ended on 8 all.

At this point I was trying not to panic and think that there was a big chance that we might lose this game, and we all knew that that was unacceptable and we did not tell Tina that we lost! So with quite a few changes in the 3rd quarter the girls were told to sort out their passing and defence. With Ria Knight playing a great defensive game as GK the rest of the girls needed to up their game and show that they are capable of defending well. AND woohoo finally some good defence work surfaced and the shooting started to go in and we ended the 3rd quarter on 19 – 11 up.

So the plan was go into the 4th continue working hard on the defence and passing but it did not go as well as planned and it fell apart a bit but the girls held on the a win and it finished 22 to Worthing College and 16 to Chichester College.
