The start of the first quarter Shiplake went out with a fighting attitude despite the heat and the considerably big difference in size of our opposition, we quickly realised that we were in for a tough match.
Our defence, Alice White, Emily Holloway and Stacie Molot held their own and stayed strong, the interceptions were rare because of the oppositions high passing, we only managed to score 1 against Antigua's 4.
In the second quarter we managed to gain 4 more goals which was achieved by our attacking players Beth Jones, Sophie Arnold and Libby Harman taking their time and travelling down the court, slowing down the play.
We worked on controlling the ball and keeping to short sharp passes which meant Meg Barron-Cutts and Sophie Arnold scored a further 5 goals.
Sadly this wasn't enough to catch up with our strong opponents who managed a total score of 23 to our 10.
It was a great game and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
We feel that as a team we have learned a lot and will work on improvements for our next game on Saturday.
