SECOND WIN FOR THE WEEKEND!! Jet’s tired legs from Saturday couldn't keep up with Almondsbury's strong start going all out, going down by five goals. Confident, Control, Clinical were our three words for the game but the first quarter saw Jets under pressure making errors and allowing Almondsbury to keep in the game with the quarter going goal for goal. Jets ended the first quarter up by one goal. Jets regrouped and thanks to co-captain Jacy Brown's (WA) words of wisdom were able to settle and go back to doing what they do best, winning the second quarter by a massive 21-2! Great defensive pressure from Becca (GK), Molly (GD) and Nicole (WD) with 8 turnovers, providing plenty of opportunities for attack to convert. Jacy (WA) and Toni (C) provided brilliant feeds to Leah (GS) and Rosie (GA), who dominated the circle. Maddie (WA) and Josie (GK) took to the court in the third quarter, while Jacy moved to C. Another inspirational quarter with Nicole closing down her WA’s space while also providing the link from defense to attack. The shooters were well settled by this point and adjusted well to the new feeding combination of Maddy and Jacy. Lottie (GS), Kat (WD), Toni (C) and Becca (GD) took to the court in the fourth quarter, Josie and Becca were soon in the thick of things intercepting balls over the court. Kat was quick to add to the defence unit workload. Almondsbury didn’t give up and won the last quarter but all in all it was Jet’s win and a good finish to two days hard work! Unfortunately our birthday girl Toni (C) was taken off due to an eye injury with only 2 minutes remaining of the match. We wish her a speedy recovery

Jets came out the blocks in total control and dominated all over the court taking full advantage of turnover balls, playing slick fast netball. Jacy and Toni exploited the Galmington defence passing pin point feeds to their shooters. Second quarter continued in the same vein. Jets making most of opportunities created by the explosive defence unit of Becca, Molly and Nicole. 3rd quarter Maddy took to court as WA. Jacy went to C. Josie replaced Becca. It took a while to adjust to the changes but the girls worked through the plays with Maddy gaining in confidence and fully committing to the set plays. Everyone pushed through to replicate the last two quarters. Shooting combination of Leah and Rosie were outstanding; mixing up rotations to outwit the opposition. 4th quarter Kat Le Riche earned her 1st cap, being Jet #50! Toni returned to the court and Jacy moved back to WA. Lottie took to the court as GS. Jets were in no mood to lower their standards and pushed through to finish the game winning the last quarter 19-5. Great team effort today, the highest Jets score to date!! Opponents Player of the Match: Molly Carre (GD)! Q1: 18-9 Q2: 38 -18 Q3: 53 - 32 Q4: 72 - 37 #Respect #Team #Pride
Jets second match of their first weekend away was a story of tired legs and a slippery court! These things combined to make for a slow start for Jets as they faced old rivals Huccelcote, however we managed to pull away at the end of the first quarter after a bit of consolidation and settling. Mid second quarter saw Lisa (C) going down with a knee injury rendering her unable to play for the rest of the match. Toni Chaytor replaced her at C and Kirsty Ludlam replaced Hope at WA. Jets continued to maintain the lead, relentless man on defence caused problems for Hucclecote and with our defensive end taking turnover after turnover providing the attack with plenty of opportunities to convert to goal. At the start of the last quarter Maddie Reynolds replaced Lottie as GS, Hope replaced Kirsty at WA, to provide a fresh take at the attacking end, with Toni (C) later being replaced by Kirsty mid way through the last quarter. Jets thrived throughout the last quarter changes with constant fresh legs on the court, winning the quarter 13 - 4. Full credit to the girls remaining on the court throughout, being able to adapt to the changes. After multiple player changes throughout the match and an injury to one of the more experienced players (and Jets already missing some key players this weekend), the Jets squad this weekend truly stepped up to the challenges and should be proud of their performances. Opponents chosen player of the match: Molly Carre (GD) there are no words to describe the incredible defensive pressure by Molly during this match (and anytime she takes to the court!) Almost every time her player was passed the ball Molly was able to at least get a finger tip touch to the ball or take the clean interception! Well done Molly, you explosive fire bolt! Q1: 13 - 5 Q2: 20 - 12 Q3: 32 - 21 Q4: 45 - 25
The first match of 2022 is against Almondsbury. Jets started strong, up 3 - 0 in the first minute, Almondsbury came back fighting to bring it back level. Jets started to settle and pulled away extending their lead every quarter. Half time saw a complete switch up of the attacking end of the court, Maddie Reynolds replacing Lottie Howe as GS, Kirsty Ludlum replacing Hope Herridge as WA and Toni Chaytor replacing Lisa Luce as C. Lisa moved to GK replacing Josie Le Masurier to mix it up against the Almondsbury GS with formidable shooting skills. With fresh legs on the court in the second half, Jets continued to pull out the lead and adapted quickly to the new combinations. Almondsbury continued to fight throughout the match, with the score not reflecting the intensity on court. It was a steep learning curve for the new players who enjoyed the game, rose to the occasion and grew in confidence throughout the time they had on court. The senior players were strong in all areas, gaining many interceptions and forcing 3 seconds turnovers and Jets came away with a much deserved win! Opponents chosen player of the match: Rosie Tonner (GA) so well deserved! Rosie took full control of the shooting circle, supporting junior shooters Lottie and Maddie and flexing her phenomenal shooting skills - she even got 3 interceptions during the match! Q1: 16 - 11 Q2: 28 - 17 Q3: 39 - 25 Q4: 54 - 32 Note: Almondsbury play in red netball dresses therefore Jets chose to play in old navy dresses to ensure there was a difference between the team kits
