| Magnificent Seven Bag another win!! Only Helen for the toilet run this week the rest of us took our chances and decided on a warm up instead. City Treasures are a tough team to play from experience so we knew we had our work cut out. Defense just superb tonight, lots of turnovers again and the fact that their shooters had good height advantage made it no easy task. It really doesn’t matter the combination in that circle kate/Helen, Helen/Dan, Dan /Kate, it’s just an all-round solid defense but also lots of support tonight from Defense to mid Court with WA and C Passing back tonight to get the ball they wanted instead of forcing it through. Great back up work from GD and WD. |
Tonight’s match showed us our strengths as a team and the importance of adapting to each team you’re playing but also adapting to how the game progresses and changing it up if you need to and that’s exactly what we did tonight. Traynors opponent was much taller than her so Sykes changed her game drawing her opponent out of the circle to give Traynor time and plenty of room to get into position easily. Almost becoming a third feeder. It worked as Traynor had the freedom to move where she wanted and receive the ball in with ease. It didn’t hurt that she was absolutely on fire tonight with everything going in and gaining her tonight’s POM! Very well deserved!
However honestly I think anyone could have got POM tonight. Work rate was extremely high from everyone, we were consistent throughout and great at getting the ball forward giving ourselves lots of options. Nothing better than all the hard work being done and it’s finished off nicely with a goal. Even when we pulled away with the lead, we still played as if there was only one in it. It showed, as I’ve literally never seen that shade of red on humans before. It also doesnt help when you’ve reached the good old age of 40, ran round like a blue arse fly for an hour and then expected to climb Four flights of stairs and hike a mile to get to your car. BNL stair lift and Golf buggies to our cars? Just an idea!
We go again next week…Summer league trophy…..Its Coming home, its coming home!
