Cheviot Senior B v Glenmark Senior B
This game was lucky to start at 11.30am just when the cold nor-west wind had died down
and the sun was throwing out some warmth. The first quarter saw both sides very evenly
matched, the experience of the Cheviot attacks in the goal circle against the Glenmark
defence was very tight with good healthy competition on show, resulting in a 7 all draw at
quarter time. With a tight score line the Glenmark girls started to talk to each other in the 2nd
quarter, this was led by the centre Sally Patterson, who not only provided her opinion but
did so with a smile on her face throughout the game. The communication from Glenmark
meant they had edged ahead at half time 14 -17.
Second half Cheviot changed their WA, taking Kelly Hanna off and bringing on Megan
Williamson. There was some awesome passing through the court from both teams making
the game a real joy to watch, very few errors and good continuous flow. Only a couple of off
passes from Cheviot and a few brilliant intercepts from Glenmark’s Milly Croft increased the
margin, 18 – 26 to Glenmark.
Cheviot had a shuffle round at 3 quarter time putting Emma Mulcock at WD, Kelly Forrester
moved to WA, Kelly Hanna came back on as C and Megan Williamson moved to GS. An injury
for Glenmark saw Victoria Culleton come off, Milly Croft move to GK & Kim Marshall come
on as WD. Both teams shot well but Jo Loe for Glenmark stood out with the accuracy of her
shots from distance, and that combined with the intercepts from Glenmark is where they
were able to win the game.
The final score 24 – 35 to Glenmark. It is always a great competition between the two sides
and today was no different. Thanks ladies for the spectacle, it really was great to watch and a
fine example to girls come up through the ranks.
