GEORGE BAR AND GRILL 29

BUGLERS 30

BUGLERS trumped George Bar & Grill 30-29 in their debut Premier Division match.

George started well, putting the first few points on the board. Buglers made some excellent passes into the D, but struggled initially to find the net. George showed off their defensive skills, denying Buglers opportunity to score.

This momentum continued through the first half of the match, with George pulling ahead by five goals at half-time.

Buglers came back strong through the second half, working well as a team and increasing their defensive pressure. GA, Kat Frampton moved effectively in the circle, allowing her feeders to work the ball around to gain great shooting positions for the Buglers shooters.

The final quarter saw a shift in dominance, with Buglers scoring 10 goals in the quarter, just enough to secure their first win in the Premier Division.

CRESTA LEISURE 29

GUNGHO MARKETING 52

GUNGHO went in guns blazing, quickly asserting their dominance in a fast-paced 52-29 win over Cresta Leisure. The speed of GA, Jamie Brown, led to some excellent drives into the circle, creating great scoring opportunities for her team. Cresta fought back with some expert interceptions but were unable to convert these into points.

The mid quarters saw Cresta gain ground, using experience and skill to gain ground.

Cresta GS, Carolyn Allgood, displayed phenomenal shooting accuracy, despite excellent defence from Gungho GK, Lou Robertson. Gungho made positional changes in the third quarter, using the impressive depth of their players’ skills to interrupt Cresta’s flow.

Seasoned experts Cresta, however, continued to play their own game right to the final whistle.
