💜 SHADOWS V HAYLE 4 💜

Shadows were back on court for their second game in 24 hours tonight as they hosted Hayle 4s at Penrice.

Drama ensued before the whistle blew as Captain Sam had forgotten her trainers meanwhile Gemma was caught in traffic meaning she missed the first quarter, luckily a speedy trip to ASDA solved the shoe issue as Shadows took to the court looking for their second win of the week. Another strong opener saw Sils net 12 by the interval thanks to some great shooting from Sam and Dani while the mid court of Lana, Antonia and Rach were in control both in and out of possession. Molly and Tegan continued last night’s fine form ensuring Hayle were unable to score.

Tegan replaced Sam at GS while Gemma went to GK, Antonia to WD, Steph to C and Lana completed the switch around as she moved to WA. The changes did not alter Shadows’ dominance as the girls continued to work on simple passing and continuous offering which meant they could work the ball down court and into the circle with ease while in possession. Defensively the whole team were strong, grabbing multiple turnovers and held balls which saw Sils cruise into half time 25-2 ahead.

More changes saw Tegan back at GK, Gemma in GD, Antonia in WD and Sam back on in GS with a pair of new shoes that Paolo Nutini would be proud of. Shadows continued to add to their advantage with Rach and Steph sending in some great feeds to our shooters who made great use of the circle while their shooting was on form. In the mid court, Antonia put in a strong defensive shift at WD while Gemma and Tegan bossed the circle, picking up rebounds and misplaced passes to keep Hayle’s score down to 5 while Shadows racked up an impressive 39.

After a great performance, Steph was replaced by Rach at C while Molly went back on at GD, Gemma went to WD and Antonia took on WA for the final ten minutes. Hayle rallied in the last quarter, playing their best Netball of the game and adding more goals then they had in the previous quarters despite a valiant effort from Tegs and Molly in the defending circle. Gem was everywhere at WD, picking up several interceptions and offering support to the attack down court while Sam and Dani added another flurry of goals to the score sheet after some lovely link up play with Antonia and Rach. Final score Shadows 52 - 11 Hayle 4.

Well done girls - another convincing win and great performance! 💜

Thanks to Heather for umpiring for us, Beth for scoring and Antonia’s Mum for her support.

💜 SHADOWS V HAYLE 5 💜

Shadows were in action down in Camborne tonight as they faced Hayle 5s in the social league.

It was a scrappy affair as the game began but Shadows were able to turn this to their advantage as the ball was fed down court and into the circle with tenacity by the mid court of Rach, Lana and Antonia. Shooters Sam and Dani were hot property this evening, not only with accurate shooting but great movement and use of the circle edge to give Shadows a healthy 15 goal lead at the break while the defensive partnership of Gemma and Tegan prevented Hayle from scoring.

Molly was introduced for Tegan in the second quarter as Shadows continued to dominate with great teamwork throughout the court. The game had settled nicely and the girls worked hard for each other, battling for every ball and making it hard for our opponents. Sam and Dani amassed another incredible 15 goals while Molly and Gemma continued to put up a strong defensive wall, with a half time score of 30-2.

In the third period, Tegan came back on at GK for Gemma and linked up well with Molly as they guarded the post with authority, preventing Hayle from scoring and picking up lovely interceptions to send the ball to the Shadows midcourt who did well to work the ball into the Shadows shooters to convert, as they increased their lead to 41-2.

For the final ten, Tegan went to GA for Dani and the mission was to keep it simple with direct passing and good offering for the ball. The girls certainly delivered as they steadily added to their lead and continued to keep Hayle’s score down to solidify the 54-2 win.

Well done girls - a great win and performance from all of you.

Thanks to Shannon for umpiring 💜

💜 SNIPERS V PENZANCE 3 💜

Snipers hosted Penzance 3s tonight for their final game of the season.

In the initial minutes the teams were evenly matched as they went goal for goal, but as Sils settled in they began to tick defensively leading to multiple turnovers from defenders Georgie and Beth which were fed safely down court and into the circle for Jada and Vic to slot away. Snipers built on this momentum, as the mid court of Luka, Soph and Jaimee made the most of the space on court with some impressive passages of play before the latter two sent some lovely feeds into the circle for the Sils’ shooters to convert, leading to a 6 goal advantage at the break.

The second quarter was more even, as Penzance played some great Netball of their own to keep themselves in the game, but Snipers won the quarter 12-11 with the score standing at 28-21 as the whistle blew for half time.

A little swap in the mid court between Jaimee (C) and Soph (WA) gave Snipers impetus to push on in the third period, as the attackers continued to impress with slick passes down court while Luka was always on hand at WD to offer the reset as needed. At the other end, Beth and Georgie were a tight unit in the defensive circle, stifling tonight’s opposition and allowing them to score just 6 in the quarter.

In the last fifteen, Sils continued to assert themselves. Jada and Vic were fantastic in the shooting circle, with excellent movement and holds to create space for feeders Jaimee and Soph to utilise, not to mention some exceptional and consistently accurate shooting. In the final minutes, a collision between Jaimee and Vic saw the later leave the court through injury. Captain Beth was quick to shuffle the team around as Shadows’ Antonia was introduced from the bench at WD while Jaimee picked up where Vic left off in the circle. Despite the excitement, Snipers continued with a steadfast team performance to win the quarter 16-9 and seal the victory with a final score of 56-37.

Well done girls - a real team performance from you all and another great game!

Thank you to everyone who came to support, Antonia and Lana for subbing/scoring and Hen for umpiring for us.

Another great season for Snipers who finish the division in 2nd place after promotion to Div 3 last season. The goal was to stay up and the girls excelled themselves!! A special mention must go to Cally and Ashley for their efforts in the first half of the season too, and to Claudia who didn’t play tonight but who has been great all season.
