Sisters n Sport Netball
Our U14 team played their first round fixture in the Sisters n Sport Cup against a strong Norwich side at home on Monday lunchtime. Taking a while to settle into the game, when they did find their feet they played very well – and were successful in the first quarter.
Unfortunately, Norwich were on the back foot so were driven to close the three-goal gap in the second quarter, which they fought hard to do. We let them go ahead by six goals, which meant we had to play hard to ensure we closed the gap.
Luckily, the team worked together to connect their passes and convert the shots into goals and managed to close the gap by four goals. With a couple of injuries going into the final quarter, it resulted in positional changes, which unfortunately disrupted our flow as we had found a rhythm in the previous quarter. However, the girls did not give up playing with determination, although their heads dropped as Norwich pulled ahead, which they took advantage of.
Despite losing the match, the team enjoyed the challenge of an indoor cup fixture against a strong and physical team, and look forward to the South Suffolk Tournament which takes place next week. A good effort, well done!
