CHARLEIGH CROTTY 14, HANNAH BLUNDELL 12, SHANTELLE OMAR 12, JESS GOUVEIA 12, LOLA OLUSANYA 8, JAZ IZZARD 2.As was expected the year 9 girls went on to continue in their unbeaten run this season, with a spectacular and professional job against Willingdon.Playing at home for the first time this season, the girls moved the ball around rapidly and with precision; making it near on impossible for Willingdon to even gain possession. Their offensive play was phenomenal; with some adventurous and entertaining breaks that were great to watch from the sideline. All girls involved demonstrated high class performances. Charleigh Crotty strong defensively, picked out some defence splitting passes on the attack. Hannah Blundell and Shantelle Omar both demonstrating admirable ball handling skills that would leave their markers tied up in knots. Jess Gouveia, a rock defensively as always showing great skills and disguise on the ball, Lola Olusanya played with great athleticism when rebounding and worked hard around the court. Jaz Izzard made powerful runs forward with the ball, and showed good speed around the court.An overpowering performance from the team, with Willingdon getting a consolation basket on the final whistle, final score ETC 60; Willingdon 4. (2 or 4?)

MVP: CHARLEIGH CROTTY “Outstanding vision when passing, a ‘complete’ player, demonstrating all the qualities you would want in a player”.
