The match against Team Bath today was a game of two halves!

For the first two quarters a fatigued jets were struggling to keep up with Team Bath’s pace and were hesitant on all areas of the court. Some swift half time changes which seen the introduction of impact player Maddy Fitzgerlad-Wilkins and Jacy Brown returning to centre bib freshened up the attacking end whilst Lisa Luce (POM) and Josie Le Masurier gelled effectively becoming a dominant force defensively. The shooters shot an impressive 40 goals in the second half which was a fantastic achievement! A great fight back by everyone involved and a great way to end our campaign before the Christmas break!

Half time switches: Maddy to WA, Jacy to C
​
Opponents chosen Player of the match: Lisa Luce (GD): Some hard fought determination and persistence seen Lisa take an abundance of turnover ball in the second half, especially impressive as Lisa had returned to circle defence only this weekend. How’s that for versatility?!

It’s been a hot minute since our Seniors have had a Jets match due to our last competitive weekend being cancelled (due to the high winds!)

Galmington came out hard and it was looking very close during the first quarter. Jets settled into the match and started to pull away. Galmington however did not let Jets increase the gap throughout the next three quarters, and fought hard to reach within 5 goals In Q3, but Jets stepped things up to pull away again. Even though we were under pressure we kept control and lifted ourselves to turn ball. After an extended period without high level match play, Jets did well to keep calm heads and in the final quarter finally extended the lead- we reached our goal of maintaining consistency throughout the match

Q1: 16 - 7

Opponents chosen Player of the match: Nicole Goddard (WD) Our unsung hero always doing her job shutting down the WA, Nicole was on form restricting attacking play

TEAM JETS vs TEAM BATH
Result 53 - 29

After a change of venue the girls had a short rest before their second game of the day. They knew they had to refocus after the previous game. Again they took time to settle however played much better as a team. There were some great centre court interceptions however Jets still weren't making the most of these opportunities. Changes were made going into the third quarter which opened up the court and enabled Jets to find their rhythm, playing some beautiful netball and ending up winning 53-29
