Team Jets win first match of the season against Pinehurst

Everyone was ready for the first game of the season and energy was high. Through court play was precise but our goals were allusive. Pinehurst were quick to capitalise on our errors and put us in the back foot. Aimee worked hard for her first cap keeping her WA off circle edge. The new defense unit took time to settle as long balls were fed to the dominant shooter.

Second quarter - changes were made in the defensive unit - Kat Le Riche GD and Jodie Blampied WD - this proved a telling point and the unit turned over the ball which was converted by our shooters who had settled now in their stride.

Third quarter - Jets were in control and applied pressure all over the court. Turnovers were constant and jets began to extend their lead. Becca Forrest who was named POM was influential taking dramatic interceptions against WA/C ably backed up by Kat Le Riche. Jacy set the standard in the attack, Nicole stepping up to take the C bib showed her versatility and the speed of ball on the circle edge between the pair was exquisite. Rosie was outwitting her GD by splitting the circle taking front space and both Emily and Rosie were confident in putting up their shots.

Final quarter Maddy F W came in as WA, Jace moved to C and Nicole to WD. Unfortunately Maddy went over on her ankle in the early-on in the quarter and young Taylor-Mai Dickson took to the court in her first senior Jets appearance. The game went goal for goal. Jets kept control and won the first game of their campaign by 10 goals.

A great start so the season! Lots to review and work on. Recovery time and then reset for early start against Hucclecote this morning.
