Tigers Gold def Harrow 21 - 17

September 15

A brand new season and a great new look to the Golds - in terms of uniforms and new players! The first quarter got off to a nervous start with the girls getting to know each other's movements and tactics - and seemingly getting to know the basics of throwing and catching again! We unfortunately fell behind by 3 goals despite the brilliant defensive play of Sammy and Anita.

However one quarter was all we needed to shake off the cobwebs! A few inspirational tactical changes made by the new co-captain Carlene going into the second quarter - the new shooting combo of Jackie and Joey together with the attacking force of Carlene and Isla seemed to pay off as we began converting our chances and building up a lead as approached the half time mark.

The third and fourth quarter saw more superb defensive play by the Golds as Harrow worked hard to edge their way back into the game. Sammy and Anita continued to make a huge number of vital interceptions in and around the circle, supported by Anna who produced some spectacular flying leaps down the wing. At the final whistle the girls can be proud of a great first performance and a new team that has a lot of potential! A fantastic start to the 2008 - 09 season.

Best and Fairest: Jumping Joey
