The final East Region game for Omega today and they meet Comberton, who Omega failed to conquer in either half of last season, so we were keen to turn the tables on this game.
Omega start very strong in the opening quarter, dominating the play and winning possession on 13 occasions and displayed great teamwork, which helped them to take an early and confident lead of 9 goals and a score of 18-9 going into the 2nd quarter.
Omega are aware they cannot take their foot off the pedal and allow complacency to set in and are advised that they need to continue to battle for everything. But in the mid 2- quarters of the game, Comberton step up a gear and the game becomes more competitive. Omega fail to continue with the consistency of turnovers they had in the opening quarter and as Comberton have tightened defensively, Omega error more, resulting in the mid 2 quarters being a draw in scores, but Omega manage to maintain the 9 goal lead they secured early in the game.
Going into the final quarter, Omega know they have to give their all and play their game to gain the win they want. They settle into their stride quickly and apply the defensive pressure and the turnovers begin once more. The movement of the ball to goal is much more fluid too, creating many more opportunities for the needed goals. A great end to a competitive game and a great 1st half season for the squad, with a well deserved win 61-45. A strong and confident opening and final quarter, with great teamwork, dominant play and fluid ball passage to goal.
Comberton awarded POM to GS, Georgia Quinton.
Well done Georgia and well done to the whole squad for battling and working together to gain a mid-top end of table position going into the 2nd half of the season.
