Win against Mavericks

From the get go, Leah (GS) ruled the shooting circle and gave clear options for Jacy (WA) and Hope (C) to feed. Jets brought clear principles from Thursday training into the match which added lots of variety to the centre pass attack. A great start from Jets finishing the quarter 17 - 10.

The second quarter saw Jets rule all areas of the court, applying pressure and making clinical decisions to goal. Rosie (GA) was impressive not only in attack but also making critical interceptions. Josie (GK) was dominating the defence circle until she went over on her ankle and painfully had to leave the court. Katie Doyle Jets no 51 took to the court as replacement GK and came out with her classic impressive interceptions!

Tallula entered the game in the third quarter at C and quickly settled into her stride using her speed and insight to feed Rosie and Leah. Molly (GD) and Nicole (WD) were influential in denying Mavericks shooting opportunities. Katie (GK) had the better of her shooter and forced balls off the goal line.

The final quarter saw Lottie Howe (GS) and Maddy Fitzgerald-Wilkins (WA) enter the game and continue to produce a consistent performance.

Overall it was a very physical encounter with Mavericks mistiming their challenges which unfortunately lead to a stop start game. Jets controlled their emotions and in turn controlled the attacking plays. It was a great team performance all round with everyone taking to the court!

Opponents chosen player of the match: Josie Le Masurier (GK) for her defensive flare, pressure and je ne sais quoi!
