The Derby!

Today was a derby match in the netball. Louisa's team, the Strikers, were playing their other team, St.Peter's Jedi's.

It was a beautiful sunny morning with a slight breeze, with the strikers playing in to the breeze in the first quarter. First attack, 1-0 to the Strikers, Louisa potting one in at the second attempt.
First quarter ended up 6-3, Lou scoring 5 of them.
Second quarter followed the same pattern, and the third was totally one way traffic with the opposition only having one failed effort. Lou's personal score was up to 13 at this stage - we gave her a target of 20, joking of course, as everybody was coming up to us saying what a fantastic game she was having. She surpassed that score at the end of the game, scoring 22!! Naturally there was only one name for player of the day, but the rest of the team were fantastic. We had our centre out of action through illness and the regular goal attack was away on holiday. Louisa was the end result of great fast team play, but her positional play, defensive work and attacking flair, not to mention a bucketfull of goals, merited the award. We are bursting with pride today.... well done Louisa
