Wealden 41 v 42 Queens

Starting 7.
Eve Neighbour
Sophie Nash

Chelsea Rix
Phoebe Neighbour
Charlie Baker
Rachael Jarman

Following on from our win just before Christmas Wealden 1 had high hopes going into this fixture against Queens. We started well, forcing two errors by Queens early off. We knew they weren't going to give up that easily and the remainder of the quarter went almost goal for goal. The second quarter saw an unchanged side for Wealden, there were a few passing errors in attack which left us three goals down at half time. We went out hard in the third quarter with strong defensive pressure through the court, which saw us two up at the end of the third quarter. One change at 3/4 time saw Pippa take the court, unfortunately a dangerous contact meant she had to come off with an ankle injury, putting Phoebe back on court at WD. Phoebe did a great job of bringing the ball through the court, however the Queens defensive pressure left us one down as the final whistle went. Throughout the game we never gave up, and gave our all, the first time round we lost by 16, which shows how much we have improved throughout the season. Opposition player of the match went to Eve Neighbour, and coaches player of the match went to Phoebe Neighbour.
Thanks to Jackie, Sam P, Kath, and everyone else who came to support, score and cheer us on! Bring on the next game!!!

Wealden Blue 15 vs 16 Jets 3

24/1/2017

Unfortunately the Blue team lost by 1 today after leading the first quarter 6 - 2 and still 10 - 8 up at half time. Ball placement into the circle against an effective GK was probably our biggest weakness and we were punished in the 3rd quarter with an extremely accurate GA who took Jets into a 15 - 13 lead. Although we won again in the final quarter we just couldn't pull back that extra goal and finished 16 - 15. All shooters played well with Isabella getting POM and a special mention for Ester one of the year 6 players who was outstanding as WA certainly a player to look out for.

Wealden Gold 27 v 9 Wealden White

23/1/2017

Always a difficult game when you are playing against your club mates. Great netball from both teams, Wealden Gold worked hard moving the ball through the court and playing the ball into the circle to the shooters and great shooting accuracy from Eryn and Daisy. Wealden White made good interceptions but found it harder to get the ball into the circle with the defence working tirelessly through the court by the Golds. Both teams worked hard and it was lovely to see the girls all showing good fitness and playing with smiles on their faces.

KSCL Wealden 50 v 54 Crystal Palace

22/1/2017

Despite taking our time to settle as a team, and a slow start against crystal palace, we ended on a high, winning the last quarter and keeping up our moral (and our heads) throughout.
We also won the 2ND quarter, showing we had got into our stride against this aggressive squad. Some exceptional shooting from Monique ensured we kept our centre passes, and with Hannah feeding to her with confidence and from as far away as the third line, the shooters were working well together.
In defence, we struggled after Claire came off with an injury, but Sally did her best to use her height against a young, but strong GS. Chantelle flew across the court, helping to support the attack, then racing back to double up on the GS. Sophie read the game well and blocked the GA out, giving the defence more of a chance to turn the ball over.
Both Margot and Sophie worked well down the court, not only getting free from tough opposition but also getting some amazing interceptions. Trudi, as ever, kept the structure of the game, making herself free for both defence and attack. All of mid-court played together well, and always ensured they supported each other with an easy passing option.
We managed to rile Crystal Palace up, with two of their players receiving cautions for their actions, just proving how hard we were making them work.
Despite getting within 2 goals, we sadly lost by 4 in the end, but the girls did everything they could and the team are starting to have confidence in each other! It was a pleasure to watch and coach!

Wealden Green 9 v 25 CFX

21/1/2017

A tough game for the green team against a well drilled CFX team. The CFX defence were tall and strong so it was difficult to get the ball into the circle. Great work in defence with interceptions by Charlotte and Kaci. All the girls worked hard to bring the ball through the court. A great spirit shown by the girls, they never gave up although we still need to work hard on getting in front of our players and driving on to the ball.

Wealden 1 vs Comets - 27 v 40

21/9/2013

Tough first match for new Regional squad
The first Regional fixture against former Premier 3 club Comets was always going to be tough. Captain Sam Pembroke ran with the same starting seven as last week and Wealden started off well only training by 4 goals after 15 minutes.
