Firstly a big welcome to our new players , Bethany , Amy , Mikaela and Caitlin , and Welcome back to my girls Carina , Elyse , Jess , Tash and Lani.
So we have a whole new defence end this year , with big boots to fill , but they proved themselves yesterday . Having never played together before Mikaela , Bethany and Amy shut down Connells Pt attack only letting them score 13 goals. I can only get excited about what we will be able to achieve this season when they become more familiar with each other.
The mid court also did an outstanding job , not only in defence where many times we intercepted or forced errors but the speed and accuracy that you guys brought the ball down the court was very impressive. The shooting circle looked as comfortable as ever , Carina and Elyse just work so effortlessly together that they are hard to contain.
Lani just walked back into the team without a hitch , teaming with Tash they just found space all over the court. I love the way these girls back each other up throughout the game and Jess & Caitlin were always there helping to bring the ball down the court.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could have another fabulous season , much like the past 2 , who knows if we keep it up maybe GF no 3 , I have great faith in you guys!!
