The girls had a great game against Katty with lots of defensive pressure all over the court and putting their hands over every ball they could.
The goalies worked hard all game, coming forward and working well together.
The midcourt and defence did a great job with trying to get every intercept they could and sticking tight on their player.
Still a couple of things to work on at training but overall, a great game.

C Grade
Katamatite 31 drew with Tungamah 31.
A slow start to the game in the first quarter saw the Bears 3 goals down at the first interval.
A few changes to help the defence end made Tungamah somewhat unsettled and heads were down as the Bears were 10 goals down at half time.
After a pep talk for the coach and another few changes the team settled with everyone doing their job. The defensive end became somewhat of a wall which made life hard for Katty’s attacking end.
The midcourt found space making the play and passing into the ring flow easily allowing the shooters to work less for the ball.
At 3 quarter time the game was back in Tungamah’s reach.
A couple more changes allowing fresh legs in midcourt and an experienced shooter into GS saw Tungamah to come back to draw in the end.
This week everyone played their part and worked well as a team pulling together and getting a great flow in the second half.

The players took the court on a warm winters day and the Bears were switched on from the first centre pass.
At the first break they lead 13-1. The team kept to the game plan and extended the lead at every break and took out the win by 28 goals.
A great team performance with every player contributing to the win. Players player Jade Ralph was full of bounce and voice playing in GD, always keeping the pressure on the Katty shooters.
Captain Jess Arnold lead from the front, directing play and leading beautifully.

Even with a slippery start the girls managed to play an incredible game. Down the opposition end the defenders got many tips, taps and intercept.
The ball flowed smoothly through the centre with lots of pressure being applied all down the court with hands over.
The attackers worked hard moving around the ring with great passes from outside the ring into the shooters who then shot many goals.
Overall, it was a great win, and everyone should be very proud!

Katamatite 2 def by Tungamah 47.
The team looked strong, relaxed and confident after last week’s bye. A solid start with multiple quick goals setting the team up for the game.
The girls struggled with their footwork in the wet, however their knowledge of where their players were meant they could back each other up.
Goalies were shared around with Kiera, Chloe, Asha, in the first 3 quarters and then Billie and Grace in the last all having a go to develop their skills and ball work around the ring.
Centre court consisted of Claire, Sienna and Emily, which saw some great turnovers and worked on setting up for their throw ins, especially around the rings.
The girls worked as a team to make room for each other’s drives and helping each other with placement on the court.
Defence dominated meaning Katty didn’t get a goal on the board until the 3rd quarter.
Centre passes were broken with many turn arounds.
Poppy, Chaye extended their confidence and skills and worked on reading the ball.
