Netball Round Up - New Year Edition

1st Team Netball 28 v QMC 14
2nd Team Netball 33-QMC 13

On a wet and cold Wednesday afternoon, the both 1st and 2nd teams took to the court looking forward to their games of netball.
It was an opportunity to mix up the squads as prior to Xmas a number of the girls from the second team took their opportunity against Bhasvic and deserved another opportunity to play 1st Team. That did not mean those who played in the 2nd team were dropped but with only 14 fit players, some regular 1st teamers had to play in the 2nds.

Both games started poorly mainly due to lack of fitness, match practice, and new combinations due to no netball in the past month and the freezing conditions which made catching the ball difficult.
The surface was slippery too and the girls struggled to keep their feet, however after the first 5 mins it was clear that Worthing College were going to win both games. The girls however treated the opposition with respect and there were times when QMC did threaten to get into the game more. The games were shorten to 12 mins each quarter due to the weather and this kept the score down.

Lots to work on but a good start to the new year. Losing Mele Jackson though possibly for the next two months is a severe blow.
