first win of 2022 for Jets v Almondsbury

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!
