Jets gain bonus points against Billericay

Team Jets started strongly in their away game against Billericay today and were leading by one goal at the end of the first half. Jets in fact took an early 3 goal led managing to score off Billericay's first centre with a fantastic display from the defence made up of Lauren Devine, Jenna Meredith and Nicole Goddard.

With Goddard forced off injured, Ebony Troy came in a GD with Meredith taking WD. This proved to be another strong combination as Jets drew level at 16 all and entered the half time break a goal up. But a rocky 3rd quarter where the Jets lost composure under increased pressure from Billericay meant there was a lot to do in the final 15 minutes. Despite a fantastic performance from POM Becca Forrest who linked well with Centre Libby Rothwell, Jets just couldn't gain the upper hand.

‘The extra bonus point was so well deserved,’ said coach Linda Andrews. ‘But it was frustrating at the same time as we were close to a win. Self-belief, clear thinking and trust in one another will be essential to enable us to get over the line in the future.’
