Result: Won 19-10
Match report: The second VII still remain the only unbeaten senior side this term and once again they played an amazing game of netball against a very strong BSC side. Defensively Georgia Long, Hannah Coward-Whittaker, jasmine King and Maddie Smith made some great intercepts and turned the ball over numerous times. This put BSC under immense pressure and really unnerved their shooting pair. Through the court the ball was transferred swiftly and accurately and the feeding from Mollie Stonham, Hattie Holmes and Lizzie Went was awesome! Our shooters too had a great game and Hayley Young GA was nominated by BSC as player of the match. A brilliant score girls – bring on Haileybury on Saturday!

2nd VII v Culford

Result:Lost 20-13 

Review: On Saturday the 10th the 2nd VII  played a tough match against Culford. Playing at our own home courts it gave us an automatic boost in confidence when warming up.

The defence triangle of our team proved strong with Gk Hannah C-W having an outstanding game. The mid court found spaces and moved quickly with Charlotte Volf gaining player of the match and Alice Schnideau playing some beautiful feeds into the circle allowing some clean shots to be made by Hayley Young. We lost the game by 2, But all in all a really strong performance from all the girls who played, now to hopefully beat The Leys this Saturday.

2nd VII v Kimbolton/Stamford

Result: L 20-11 (Kimbolton)
Result: L 30-4 (Stamford)

Match report: On Saturday the 25th the second's faced a tough two matches against two very strong sides. First we played Stamford who we knew from previous matches put out very good teams. The team we played were in fact their U16A side who are through to the national finals, this team played with extreme precision and flow and were actually impressive to play against, demonstrating some great netball. This however didn't get us down but made us evermore determined to put up a fight, which we did. With some great defensive skills from Hannah C-W and quick mid-court game from Charlotte Volf we managed to hold our game but unfortunately loosing. The next match of the triangular tournament was against Kimbolton, a well known competitive school in sporting areas. Throughout the first half the game was tight with scores changing and both teams having the upper hand, with Hayley Young's shooting skills the goals were flying in and the spirit was up. With one and a half matches played we began to become tired and gradually lost the game; this did not put our spirits down, we fought till the whistle blew, but again unfortunately came short. Well done to all girls, two really strong teams but all played really well.

2nd VII v Framlingham

Result: Won 30-16
Review: The 2^nd VII had the only victory of the senior teams against Framlingham on Saturday. From the start the squad played with great determination and secured a good lead at the end of the first quarter (8-3). The attacking play was superb with some fast moves through the court by Alice Schneidau, Lizzie Went and Charlotte Volf, and some brilliant creativity in the circle ensuring that the ball was always received close to the post. This was so advantageous in high winds and both our shooters (Pip Keir and Hayley Young) shot very accurately all game. Defensively, Felsted made it very difficult for Framlingham to reach their circle with some brilliant intercepts being made by Katie McGukian and Georgia Long. Overall a fantastic performance and a superb result, well done to this weeks “TEAM OF THE WEEK”!
