Eagles U16 v Wokingham Blue

Very confident and exciting game which saw Eagles soaring to take the win.
Eagles 52 – 24 Wokingham Blue
Luckley House School

Q1) A very exciting and fast paced start to the first quarter. Great intercepts and play from the back leads to our first goal from Grace. Nya gets the rebound which leads to another goal from Grace in short succession. Eagles, applying pressure, they were focused with lots of great passes and finding space with a super, intercept from Lottie. A little bit of a wobble in the D leads to Wokingham Blue getting their first goal to bring the score to 9-1 mid way through the first quarter. Great defending, driving of the ball and super intercepts from Georgia, Nya, Keira and Amelia leads to many more goals in quick progression. Wokingham Blue’s C, W/A and GD put up a fight which leads to another goal from them but, we soon get another from Lottie resulting from great play between Amelia and Izzy. Score at the end of Q1: 19 – 6 to Eagles.

Q2) Wokingham Blue came back fighting which saw them getting the first goal this quarter and another soon after. Eagles refocus and we see an excellent play from Helena that leads to a goal from Grace; a brilliant pass from Keira leads to yet another. Wokingham Blue keep up the pressure- it seems to be working as we couldn’t quite get the right pass at times. Great defending holds wokingham score down and great balls in from Izzy bring a flurry f late goals and sees us finish Q2: 29 – 14 to Eagles. 

Q3) A great start to this quarter with great defending and passing, leading to a great goal from Sophie and then another very quickly from Grace. Seems like it may be a tough quarter with Eagles making a few bad decisions but, they soon bring it back with fantastic blocks from Keira. With Helena switching from C to WA, brings some excellent passes and great decisions. Wokingham Blue’s defence is strong and leads to a goal from them. A difficult quarter with both sides putting up a fight. The slippery floor was testing for the girls. The quarter ends 42 – 19 to Eagles.

Q4) A bit of an unsteady start from the girls but, fantastic defensive teamwork from Georgia, Keira and Nya that helped drive the ball up court leading to more outstanding goals. Eagles’ defence stop Wokingham Blue from scoring. Tiredness is evident which leads to a few Wokingham Blue goals but, the Eagles keep powering through. Some great intercepts from Izzy, Georgia and Keira but, Wokingham Blue keep up the pressure and win the ball leading to a few goals from them too. Eagles increase the pressure which sees them score 4 quick goals in 2 minutes from both Sophie nd Grace! Final Score at the end of Q4: 52 -24 to Eagles. 

Some fantastic decision making, and confidence shown today!
