Shiplake was limited to 6 players, half of which have
been newly introduced to Netball, so we considered today’s game to be an
experience rather than a serious match. Pangbourne, obviously threatened by our
prior victory's against them had decided to put out their A team, even after we
requested their B team. Already at the disadvantage of playing a team above our
standard and the dreadful weather we hoped that we would play some good
Netball.
By the first quarter the whole team was blue and after
the 3rd quarter both teams agreed that due to the slippy court and freezing
temperatures, it was a good reason to end the match. As a team, we are still
developing our skills and introducing the sport to many girls and even though
the game was a loss, it was a valuable experience for us all.
Well done to Annabel Seward, who won player of the match
for her versatility, playing both attack and defence and adapting to the position
she was given. A special mention goes to Chloe Reeder, who participated in her
first ever game, well done!
