Wednesday 9th March – Hornettes Match Report

Hinckley Hornettes met Griff and Coton for the second time this season and were blessed with a rain free evening.  Calm and well paced play took the ball down the court but Hinckley were unable to convert all of their opportunities into goals. Coupled with Griff’s consistent shooting there was an eleven goal difference by half time. But the team remained calm and continued to play with a positive attitude.  Helen Vause provided excellent support to the shooters and made the most of GS Aly Steele’s height advantage. In the third quarter she and GA Tracey Pallett were shooting with confidence and narrowed the gap to just 7 goals. Hinckley lost momentum during the final quarter and although they didn’t score many more goals Griff were  able to maintain their seven goal lead. GD Katie Foster was relentless in her defence and intercepted pass after pass and was rightfully chosen as player of the match. Alongside GK Anna Ball Hinckley have a formidable defence. 

The far more experienced team were always going to be a challenge for the Hornettes, but the quality of play this time round is testament to the improvements they’ve made so far this season. The match ended 14-21 to Griff.
