Paulton were worried about playing Dukes as they had lost to them not so long ago in the Cup.

They started strong matching the team goal for goal.  As the match settled the defence were able to intercept Dukes play, with Ness, Vic and Deb linking up well together, enhancing Cheryl and Davina’s chances to score.  The first quarter ended 12 – 8.

Paulton came out strong from the whistle in the second half with Shelley and Hayley making some dynamic moves and passes into Davina at GS who proved unstoppable, not missing a shot giving the team a 27- 21 lead at half time. 

Josie came on to replace Ness at GK who moved to WD to give our oldest and shortest player a well earned rest!  The defence were fantastic and with a solid team performance Paulton extended their lead to 40 – 30.

Deb came back on at WD for last the quarter which saw Paulton play some excellent netball furthering their lead to 50 – 40. Player of match was Hayley at WA. 

The team would like to thank Jane for umpiring and welcome spectators to their Semi Final Cup Match on 27th February.

After an impressive win during their last match confidence was high within the Paulton B team, however with yet another changed team Paulton new they couldn’t take anything for granted.

The first quarter saw Ambers take advantage of some unsure play by Paulton B, with Ambers taking consecutive goals. However Paulton did not take long to get in their stride and with some great turn overs in centre court by Liz Paulton pushed ahead taking the quarter 10-9.

The second quarter was goal for goal with Kelly Bailes marking her return to the Paulton side with some excellent passes into the shooters circle. Paulton continued to use their fitness levels to force the Ambers side into making mistakes allowing the home team to take the quarter 18-16.

After a quick half time pep talk from Victoria, Deb and Stu, Paulton took to the court determined win this game. With Jade playing her heart out getting some excellent interceptions and passing beautifully into the shooters Paulton kept pushing ahead. Shooters Helen and Kristie had a fantastic quarter barely missing finishing the quarter 30-18.

Determined not to let the lead slip away Paulton continued to play better netball. Becky and Kim in defence worked well as a partnership and took many interceptions that thanks to great team work sailed down the court to be neatly put in the goal by Paulton B’s star shooters. The game finished with a win for Paulton B 40-25.

Thanks to all the supporters who came along and helped push us on!
