JUNEE GEO Sapphires (under 10s) come up against the Nixon Lightning. In round one, Lightning defeated Sapphires 12 to 5. This week however, the Sapphires showed how much they had improved only going down by two, 7 to 5.
With two players down, we had to call on our under 8s for support and playing well above her age, Sophie Baldock stepped in and earned herself the Junee Licorice Factory Player Of The Week. Sophie positioned herself perfectly to not only help us keep the ball out of the circle but allowed us to get it down the other end!
Kara and Jocie lead the way in defence again, intercepting and rebounding every loose ball.
Sophia impressed as always, moving the ball from one end of the court to the other. Dakota stepped into centre in the fourth and showed confidence when given some space.
Our attack was lead impressively again by Tarah in GA. First out for the centre pass, Tarah also touched the ball multiple times again to allow us to get the ball to the circle. Supported by Jorja, Dakota and Jocie, the girls proved the skills they are learning to get themselves on the score board. When not in GS, Jorja worked extremely hard at WA.
