U15 v Stamford/Kimbolton

Result: Kimbolton: Lost 14-8, Stamford: Won 10-6 

Review: The U15 C Netball team played their best netball of the season on Saturday. Their passing was fast passed and accurate, and the match was a joy to watch. At the end of the second third, the score was very tight at 6-6. Sophia Arthen and Tabby Temporal used clever strategies to make space in the D despite some expert defending from Kimbolton. 

Milly Scarborough played amazingly well, as she continued to make defensive interceptions throughout the game. She never dropped the ball and reversed the direction of play several times. She won the well deserved lady of the match. Unfortunately, in the final third, we lost our stamina and Kimbolton managed to pull ahead to win 14-8. 

Nevertheless, the girls played some excellent netball and should be very proud of their teamwork and obvious improvement since the beginning of the season.

The second match of the day was against Stamford. Annabelle Persie came on as WA and immediately made her presence felt by using the space and getting the ball into the D very quickly. The play improved and the teams seemed to be evenly matched. Ellie Welsh was everywhere as centre and played a pivotal role in the success of the match. By the end of the first half, the score was 4-3 to Felsted. Felsted managed to keep fighting despite some excellent attacking play from Stamford. Genevieve Guest was an excellent Goal Keeper and prevented several shots from going in. The girls were determined to win, and they did, with a final score of 10-6. The winning drive was evident in the fast-paced play and teamwork. A well deserved win!

U15 C/B v Haileybury

Result: U15 C  Won 20-5

Match report: On Saturday Felsted U15 C team had their first win of the season.

The centre play was good and Tabby Temporal was solid as Goal Attack, always making use of the space and scoring the majority of her shots. With some good coaching from Ellie Welsh the team managed to keep in front despite Haileybury fighting back valiantly.  Emma Sweeney played a key role in keeping them from scoring goals as GK. She never let the shooter have a second chance because she seized the ball so fast. Millie Scarborough also played excellently as Wing Defence, intercepting several of their centre passes and marking her attacker to such an extent that she began to lose heart. Because of her pivotal play, Millie won player of the match. The Felsted girls worked more and more as a team, and this culminated in a win of 20-5, the goals all scored by Tabby Temporal and Eloise Kingsland.

Star Player: Millie Scarborough

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.

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.
