MARCH

Old Chelts combined division 5 and 7 squad went into the final of the Per Ardua competion with a 57 – 2 lead against Rednock, who at the moment, are top of the first division.

All players gave 110% in their fight to stop Rednock making up the goal deficit. As everyone who has played in this competition knows, playing against such a high ranking team is very demoralising, for defenders especially, but Old Chelts fought through to the end which paid off, and they won with a final score of 78 – 65.

Holly and Molly, who at div 5 level, usually have no problems defending the circle but obviously, playing a div 1 side caused them a few problems, however by the 3 rd quarter, they were getting tips and interceptions as usual and with some great backup from Laura and Rachel, they were many a time able to turn these to our advantage and get the ball back to our shooting end.

The shooting of Ailsa at GS and Sam at GA was a great combination and they scored a goal at every opportunity. Sam, Lauren at WA and Rhi at C did some lovely feeds into the circle to make the most of Ailsa’s height, and to score 21 goals was impressive.

Congratulations to the all the girls for providing such an entertaining and skilful game. It was a pleasure to watch.

SEPTEMBER
Old Chelts v 7 Stars – Div 7

This is the newest and youngest of the Old Chelts teams with most of the girls not having played adult netball before, it was a real test for them.

It was a bit of a shaky start with the girls getting used to playing together and playing an unknown team, but by half way through the 2 nd quarter they were playing together very nicely. The defending skills of Rachel Campbell, Carly Hewitt and Laura Masling, really kept us in the game and at half time we were only 2 goals down. By the 3 rd quarter, the attack made up of Livvy Willson, Megan Stevens and Kristie Rhodes with Emma Gabbott in the centre, also began to gain confidence and in the last quarter swapping Carly to her usual position of shooter and moving Megan who is an attacking player to defence, didn’t alter the strength of the team at all.

The final score was 27-23 to Chelts and Carly Hewitt deservedly got player of the match.
