It’s becoming clear now that this new Omega Regional squad is gelling way beyond expectation. Another big win against a noisy, especially on the Omega shooting oportunities, and physical Hatfield side.
A great start saw the Omega side leading by six goals at the end of the first quarter. Great shooting by GS Georgia Quinton and Team Captain Emma Maidment at GA gave the the Hatfield defence a hard time trying to shut down. A fiesty performance from our newest recruit Leah Badham at WA gave Hatfield the run around trying to stop her athleticism and determination.
A slight drop in performance saw the Omega side only one up at the halfway time, a lot of “Held Ball” by Hatfield missed by the officials, but after that slight dip the team got better and better!
Magic feeds from C Lucy Andrews again delivered with precision combined with WA Zoe O’Neill’s dummy passing skills gave the shooters many oportunities which they converted with ease.
The Omega defence have become a force to be reckon with owing to super fit Hayley Kruse and Nicola Rantell on the defensive wings dominating. In the defensive shooting area Sam Abbott and Stephanie Winfield as GD and GK have become exceptional at closing down and pressurising opposition shooters all through the game. With only 35 goals scored by Hatfield, this proves the point. In fact, all the Regional Squad are defending superbly throughout the court! A very big “Well Done” to the Omega Regional Team!
Final score Omega 46 – Hatfield Hawks 35.
Player of The Match, GS Georgia Quinton.
