Well done to the U16’s who won both their matches this weekend.

First up was a tough game against the Challengers Flares. The first half was especially close as the Flares defenders managed to intercept the ball from getting to the shooters. This didn’t stop the Team Jets U16’s though, because as the game played out they managed to keep their calm and get the points, eventually winning 51 v 39!

Centre and Co-Captain Taylor-Mai was awarded player of the match. Taylor-Mai consistently worked the ball through court and delivered brilliant feeds into the circle. She kept up the intensity of play for the full 60 minutes and effortlessly turned over ball

Next up it was a game against Bath Cougars. And what a game it was against these old rivals! It was a nail biting game and at half-time Jets were down. They managed to up the intensity during the second half. The squad worked tirelessly through court, capitalising on any errors from Bath and converting some incredible interceptions to goal. The score-line went back and forth with Jets gaining towards the end of the last quarter. ⁣

The game finished 46-41 to Team Jets Opposition player of the match was awarded to super shooter Sophie Barraclough who managed to keep her composure against a very strong defence and was clinical with her shooting (only missing one shot in the entire game). Sophies calm head led her side to a well fought win.
