Chargin' up the ladder

A good solid win, everyone. Well done! As one of our team members so eloquently put it, we’re ‘charging’ up the ladder! =)

Anita – Played wide whilst in the middle and we were able to get lots of easy balls to her. Played the last quarter in the shooter circle and convicingly outplayed that very feisty goal-keeper.

Mandy – was a solid presence in the middle for us. Matched and kept up with the other team’s center (who was very good). Was also a great source of verbal encouragement to the rest of the team.

Katie – Was consistently avaliable to bring the ball down the corridor, then was consistently available again to take the ball round the attack circle (whilst I, the goal attack, lumbers after her to get into position).

Julie – our shooter finally got a run out of the circle (but still ended up in in out of habit). Still shot in the majority of our goals, and had to deal with a very feisty goal keeper.

Mel – Our lucky charm who’s been in all the games we’ve won! Another impressive defensive effort, chasing down a lot of loose balls and sticking close to the opponent.

Ken – played both attack and defense and adapted to both. Made sure to exploit the fact that we had an extra man by double-teaming the other side and making their plays difficult.

PP – Gave lots of run playing in wing defense forr the ball to be brought out – ran hard to make himself avaliable for passes. Like Drew, was committed to jumping around and trying to spoil opposition passes.

Drew – was a great roaming defender for us in the backline. Covered lots of ground and made lots of intercepts. Committed to making lots of defensive jumps, even when it meant taking a few heavy falls.

Eddie – played a bit for us in attack and got in a couple of goals! Worked in tandem with Anita in the second quarter, passing from one side of the field to the other to get the ball into attack.
