Jets make it a second win for their first weekend away in 2022

Jets second match of their first weekend away was a story of tired legs and a slippery court! These things combined to make for a slow start for Jets as they faced old rivals Huccelcote, however we managed to pull away at the end of the first quarter after a bit of consolidation and settling.

Mid second quarter saw Lisa (C) going down with a knee injury rendering her unable to play for the rest of the match. Toni Chaytor replaced her at C and Kirsty Ludlam replaced Hope at WA. Jets continued to maintain the lead, relentless man on defence caused problems for Hucclecote and with our defensive end taking turnover after turnover providing the attack with plenty of opportunities to convert to goal.

At the start of the last quarter Maddie Reynolds replaced Lottie as GS, Hope replaced Kirsty at WA, to provide a fresh take at the attacking end, with Toni (C) later being replaced by Kirsty mid way through the last quarter. Jets thrived throughout the last quarter changes with constant fresh legs on the court, winning the quarter 13 - 4.

Full credit to the girls remaining on the court throughout, being able to adapt to the changes. After multiple player changes throughout the match and an injury to one of the more experienced players (and Jets already missing some key players this weekend), the Jets squad this weekend truly stepped up to the challenges and should be proud of their performances.

Opponents chosen player of the match: Molly Carre (GD) there are no words to describe the incredible defensive pressure by Molly during this match (and anytime she takes to the court!) Almost every time her player was passed the ball Molly was able to at least get a finger tip touch to the ball or take the clean interception! Well done Molly, you explosive fire bolt!
