Women vs Southampton (H) - 23/10/2023
On Monday the women’s team played Southampton at home in poplar baths✨
After some delays, we started off strong with Smaragda winning the ball! We saw lovely defence work in the first quarter, with Kev speeding up and down the wing not letting loose of her player. Heli stood her ground doing a really good job in pit D, making some great passes and communicated well with other players. Some lovely drives from Kate, finding great space in the pool to catch the ball and try some close shots.
In the second quarter, Josie made sure to stay on her player and drew some great fouls. Smaragda made some great drives and made some lovely passes into pit. Chere stayed right to her player and made some good movement to fight for the ball.
In the third quarter, Eira did really well in pit A, pit D as well as driver positions!! making some confident passes. Christina continued to make absolutely massive saves, showing some fab stamina and accuracy. Martha G sped up and down the pool not letting her player out of site, and found some really good space in the pool.
In the final quarter, Josie found some lovely space and made a great shot. Ella kept up the strength she uses on the rugby field, and made some accurate passes around the arc. Charis won us a penalty and slammed in into the goal.
