Lots to look forward to in the coming weeks - KB Netball

A Grade

A Grade travelled to Tooradin this week and returned home with a fantastic win.

While the scoreboard reflected a strong performance, it was the way the girls conducted themselves throughout the game that was most impressive.

Faced with plenty of distractions and noise from the sidelines, the team remained composed, focused, and full of class from the first whistle to the last.

The girls stuck to their structures, trusted each other, and let their netball do the talking, producing some excellent passages of play across the court.

A complete team performance and another four points on the board.

Well done, girls.

Killy Bass knew that this week that they would have a great battle with top of the ladder Tooradin.

And the first half did not disappoint.

From the defensive end through to midcourt and down to the attacking end every player tried their best.

C Grade

The girls worked on lots at training this week and put a lot of it out on the court against a tough opponent.

Their connections down and into the goal ring are improving and they are creating turnovers in the defensive end but lack consistency for the full four quarters and let Tooradin take away the win.
