Girls’ Games Report-Week Beginning 26th Sept.

26 September 2010

In the U15 match Norwich roared into a 4-0 half-time lead, with two goals from Liz Jones and one apiece from Georgia Heaton and Izzie Temple. However some doughty St Felix defending prevented any further goals. 4-0 was the final score and the player of the day, for her pugnacious midfield play, was Georgia Heaton. The U14s also continued their strong start to the season with an impressive 11-0 win over St Felix.

On the same day the U16s took on The High School in another league encounter. Norwich had the vast majority of possession but the High School defended well until 2 minutes before half time when a well executed hit from Liz Jones found the back of the net. Our passing and movement improved in the second half and Amy Campbell (player of the match) scored twice to put us 3-0 up. Norwich were awarded a short corner in the final minute of the match allowing Liz Jones to score her second of the match. Final score 4-0.

There were matches against Wymondham College on Saturday. The first team had their best team performance of the season so far. Norwich started extremely well with some brilliant defending by Megan Eldridge and superb distribution by Lizzie Jones which allowed us to have the upper hand in the early exchanges. Unfortunately, however, Wymondham struck from a well struck short corner to take the lead. Norwich battled hard and equalised after some real persistence from the constantly dangerous Lucy Crawford to make the score 1-1 at half time. Wymondham scored twice more, the first from a harshly awarded short corner to put them 3-1 up before some good skills by Amy Campbell brought the score back to 3-2. Another late goal from Wymondham meant the game ended with a 4-2 defeat that did not really do justice to an excellent performance. Lucy Crawford was awarded player of the match.

The 2nds game started strong with some excellent defending from Beth Fellowes and goal keeper Becky Woodridge. However, constant strong attack from Wymondham College resulted in a final score of 4 - O to Wymondham. Player of the match went to Hatty Ekbery.

The final match of the day saw the U15s in action against a strong Wymondham side. Norwich started on the back foot allowing Wymondham to have the majority of possession which they capitalised on to score 4 successive goals before half time. However the girls picked their game up during the second half, passing the ball well and playing with far more aggression and determination. Saskia Delacave and Laura Bailey played brilliantly in midfield linking up well to have a number of shots on goal. Only some good saves from the Wymondham goalie prevented Norwich from scoring. However with no substitutes Norwich began to tire with 10 minutes to go, allowing Wymondham to score a scrappy final goal. Final score 5-0. Player of the match was awarded to Alice Guest.

The 1^st netball team also had a busy week with two midweek matches. The girls took on Norwich High School which is always a tough match with a tight scoreline and this year proved no different. Norwich started strongly taking an early lead. However with some lapses in concentration we allowed The High School to get back into the game. We picked up our game in the final quarter eventually winning the match 12-8. Lucy Temple was awarded player of the match for her superb interceptions.

The senior girls then took on King Edwards School in Kings Lynn last Thursday resulting in another excellent win for the team. Frankie Grapes had an immediate effect on the game by intercepting the first opposing centre pass, which was converted into a goal. This strong start continued throughout the game producing a superior performance from the girls and a 33-13 win. Sarah Wild was awarded player of the match for her well timed interceptions.
