Effective Eight rule the court against Wyndley
We had travelled down in a heavily air conditioned car, It was Baltic conditions, so when we stepped out the car the humidity hit us like a ton of bricks. So the heat along with the fact Stars have not always had the best track record against Wyndley, we knew this was going to be a tough match!
However, the biggest issue we had to deal with initially was if Kate needed to go to the toilet before the start of the match or not. She really didn’t need to go but came to the conclusion it was better to go now than get all the way to the court and have to run back and be late for the start of the game. (It’s happened before IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN). We all agreed she was right and decided to go with her. This quick decision-making and teamwork boded well for the game ahead.
From the first Centre pass defense were on form with Kate closely guarding her player. Wyndley were forced into a pass, which Helen Intercepted and forwarded straight through to Erica in mid court who fired it into attack and straight into the net. Great turnover from defense. This was pretty much the story for the rest of the game with Our Dynamic duo batting everything away and Kate and Helen only allowing Wyndley to score just 25 goals. Erica made a huge impact supporting the defense throughout the game, and only dropping the ball twice, (I blame Covid though, everything is Covids fault!) Superb defensive teamwork from all three.
Its no surprise Stars won all four quarters with ease thanks to tonight’s super shooters. Sharon was hitting nothing but net even from right at the edge of the circle, which gained her POM tonight and deservedly so, well-done Shaz! Anything Sharon did miss, (although she might argue it was a pass) was quickly picked up by Sykesy and her stretch Armstrong hands and tucked away in the net.
All this of course supported by the magnificent mid court. Great to have O’Hara back flying up and down the court and doing what she does best, feeding into the circle, (no James Bond signature moves tonight but I’m sure they will be back in the future). Gemma and Emily did a fantastic job of driving the ball forward and being all round support for both the defense and attacking players. Great game, great teamwork!
Tough game next week but we take confidence from tonight’s performance and going again for another win!!!
