National Inter-Primary Netball Tournament 2009
Round 1
Seniors
TKP Seniors vs Marymount Convent 33-16
The Seniors also did not get off to a good start as well. Two of their key players, Jeraldine (GK) and Jamie (GD) were not available due to school work and Pepe, our all-rounder, had to take her GAT at RGS. So, with 9 players, the seniors began their quest for the Nationals!
The Seniors had to play the match with a make-shift defence, starting with Chia Yu as GK (her first time playing a netball match) and Josephine (her mobility is suspect) . Furthermore, our attacking players were not having their best game either, often running out of ideas in the final third. Being the first match after the long holidays, the rustiness in their shooting showed as they could not convert many of the chances that fell their way. Credit must also given to the opponents who were aggressive and fought hard.
In the end, the quality showed as the Seniors used their aerial and physical superiority and their experience gained from training overseas as well as with the National players to win the match! However, if the girls are to overcome tougher opponents such as CHIJ Kellock who thrashed their opponents 54-9, St Margaret's and St Hilda's, they must first improve their attacking play especially our GS who really needs to work on her different movements to get the ball within shooting range.
All in all...a win is a win...This victory will give the Seniors a lift and hopefully do much better to win their next match this Friday and qualify for the Q-Finals.
