In front of a standing room only crowd Jets had a tough start with Telstars showing fantastic shooting accuracy. But with the crowd roaring in support Jets drew the second quarter as Serena Guthrie played her first match for the side. Jacy Brown made some fantastic interceptions across the court in the C position giving her side chances which shooters Rebecca Forrest and Lynsey Pitman took. In her first start for the side Forrest did well to hold her very tall GK to create space in the shooting circle.

After the half time break with no changes Team Jets went on to win the 3rd quarter 14 v 9 sadly missing a chance to make it a 1 goal game whilst the visitors took advantage to maintain a 2 goal lead. With Sophie Holmes replacing POM Rebecca Forrest for the final quarter and Telstars making changes in GK and GS, the match was incredibly close. It could have gone either way and the crowd experienced a roller coaster of a final 15 minutes with the game ended all square at 43 v 43 each.

Team Jets produced an excellent performance today in their away match against Tameside. The visitors were ahead at times against unbeaten League Leaders Tameside, and winning the first and last quarters. However, they just missed out on the win with a slower 3rd quarter to last year's runners up with the match finishing 55 v 51 but achieved an extra bonus point.


"The girls played out of their socks in the first half...it was phenomenal" said Coach Linda Andrews. "Our passing and moving was good, our errors were minimal and the shooters were on fire - we gave them a bit of a shock I think. But they upped the ante in the third quarter, after being 29 v 27 down at half-time, and we lost momentum." Despite regrouping to win the last quarter it wasn't enough to make up for the 3rd quarter deficit.
