Round 2Cropleys 61 defeated Magies 12
With 9 in the team there is going to be a fair bit of position changes and instability of the line up each week.
So our mini goal is to find a couple of alternate shooting combinations with a team fairly light on shooters.
We settled in pretty quick with our traditional start line up and apart from a little bit of over excitement and everyone not staying in their “channels” we did pretty well.
With half time changes, Shannon came on as GA with support from Elise and Ash in C court and Madi N GS. She did a really good job.
With so much ball come out of defence we certainly had a lot of time to settle into the new combination.
Sadly Magpies GK went down with injury which left only 6 on the court, so we were not really pushed but it was a real confidence booster for the girls. Good Job.
Cropleys defeated Castle Hill Sports 35-23
Just like to say how excited I am to be coaching this team this year.
Its a big ask to go into the 2nd Cadet grade AND on the coat tails of Mrs E, but I am sure we(me) are up to the challenge
Playing the team you beat in the 2011 GF first off is always tricky, but the Cropleys were up to the task
New to the team, Shannon played C for the whole game (while Elise took the day off to prepare for her sweet 15th birthday party),
and really worked hard in both attack and defence.
In usual Cropley style it was their huge work ethic that saw us pull away in the end.
We possibly could have been a little more efficient with getting the ball down the other end, a lot of passing around the centre third
but with the defence getting stronger each quarter and the attacking section working so hard to get the ball to our shooters it was a comfortable 12 goal win in the end
Well done everyone
