Netball Under 14A v East Bergholt

Congratulations to the U14A netball team for an excellent match on Monday after school! They showed real resilience, guts and determination. East Bergholt came with a strong team of club players and who were quick to challenge every ball. In the first quarter Ella Walker and Emily Whyte shot well and the teams were level. In the second quarter East Bergholt pulled away by 4 goals thanks to some excellent shooting and despite Jess Elmer’s fierce defending mid court for which she took some hard hits. The Woodbridge girls had a change of positions and battled hard in the third quarter to turn the game around. Ariane Bilgen and Issy Eaton dominated their players in the circle, not allowing them any space near the post. Further down court Molly Marshall and April Hill used the turned-over balls quickly to turn the defence into attack. Both teams were not going to let the game slip away from them and in the final quarter the match was very physical and exciting. The standard of netball was very pleasing and the result even more so!  To win the game by one goal, 15-14 was well deserved. Well done, girls, on an excellent whole team performance.
