Wealden Red vs Langton Elms
17 - 17
Wearing our pink bibs to support Net10, Wealden were eager to get a strong start,and captain Louisa led by example showing great vision and determination. Resulting in Wealden being only one goal behind at the end of first quarter. A fast second quarter with every one staying focused. Chloe-Jane demonstrated that height difference is not a problem for her by putting the GA under constant pressure resulting in held balls and mistakes in passes. Langton however did not miss when they did eventually get the ball in the shooting circle, so led Wealden again at half time by 11-8. The third quarter saw consistent defending from Sophia, Lucy G and Anna making the Langton attackers having to work hard. In this quarter, there was an outstanding performance by Grace as WA. Not only was her change of direction to receive the ball from Louisa impressive but her vision to feed the ball into Lucy C and Isabella was amazing. We were still 16-12 down by the end of the quarter. Final quarter Wealden just got stronger and more determined. Lucy C and Charlotte started pulling the gap closer. And again the defence stepped up ensuring Langton only got to score one goal. Unfortunately Charlotte had an injury in the last few minutes of the game but Isabella stepped back on court and scored the last goal levelling the game at 17 all. Amazing come back. Well done everyone.
Thank you for Maz for scoring.

Wealden Amber 3 Vs 6 CFX Kites
Pink bibs on for Net10, and knowing they were against an experienced CFX squad, Wealden worked hard, with Kayla and Bea ensuring CFX could only score once. Second quarter, Gracie K scored an amazing goal from distance to get Wealden on the score sheet. Phoebe controlled the centre court well and fed the ball in for Gracie to score again. Alice was strong as GD and showed all her training in her match play and with partner Leonie ensured that CFX only got one more goal. Half time and score level 2-2.
Third quarter was a busy one for Emily and Gracie in defence but they worked hard and CFX only scored 2 and Wealden got 1. Final quarter, Ellie put in some great interceptions and together with Bea they got the ball back down court for Leonie to feed into Kayla and Alice. Kayla had many shots on target, but luck was not on our side with the ball rolling off the back or side, although frustrated they were not going in, Kayla kept working hard supporting the team all over court.
Although Wealden lost today they demonstrated a high skill level and team effort which was recognised by the other umpire and CFX coach.
