U15 A v The Perse

Result: Lost 31-8 

Match report: During the first quarter the Felsted side moved the ball swiftly through the court with some great feeds into the circle from Olivia Schwier and Izzy Moore. However, unfortunately, The Perse quickly warmed up and they became hard to overcome. They had a fantastic GA, who we later found out had just been selected for the England U17 side at just 14 years of age! She was exceptional; our defence consisting of Emily O'Connor and Annabel Dines, worked extremely hard until the final whistle, but they were just unable to stop this side attacking the circle and shooting from every angle. In terms of experience, it was great for Felsted to be stretched against such a side and I hope that they came away inspired by what they saw and excited about how they can progress as a team.

Star Player: Annabel Dines and Phoebe Coulson

U15 C

Result: Lost 18-4 
Review: The U15 C team had a tough match against Framlingham. We had conceded five goals in the first quarter and this threatened our confidence slightly. However, Georgia Rowe as WD made some great interceptions and Katie Lewis (GK) performed magnificently throughout the game as she prevented several goals from being scored. When Ellie Welsh came on as centre, she really utilised the space and Felsted had a lot more possession. The passing was great and resulted in three goals from Sophia Arthen. Shona Glover fought hard to press the attack but Framlingham were rather strong and scored several more goals. The team pulled together and there was some excellent play near the end of the match but unfortunately the game could not be retrieved


U15 D
Result: Won 20-8 
Match report:The U15 D team had the only victory of the U15 squad against Framlingham. They played to win and made a great improvement throughout the game. The first quarter was a wake-up call as we ended it 5-3 down. Genevieve Guest made some excellent defensive intercepts as GK, which helped to threaten the confidence of their Goal Shooter. In the second quarter, the attacking pair of Eloise Kingsland and Shona Glover contributed to five goals.  Eloise had an excellent spatial awareness and used this to great advantage in the circle. Luca Goder (GD) stuck to her attacker like glue and made some great defensive clearances. In the second half, Felsted began to shine. With Jessy Wu (WA) using all the space of the centre, the ball made its way into the goal another seven times (thanks to some great shots from Shona Glover). She worked really well with Isabelle Lowe (C) and this pairing meant that Framlingham did not have much ball possession. Franca Lienke as GD and Genevieve fought hard in the Framlingham D and by the end of the match, we had only conceded eight goals. The girls worked really well as a team and it was a delight to watch such 

good netball.

 

   

   

U15 A v RHS

Result: Won 27-20
Review: On Saturday 14th January the U15A's had their first netball fixture of the season against RHS Ipswich. After the first quarter of play Felsted were leading 9-3, which held them in good stead for the rest of the match. By the final whistle Felsted won 27-20 after a hard fought game from everyone, especially Gabby Doughty who was player of the match because of her near faultless shooting and fantastic link play with both the centre court players and her fellow shooting partner.
