Holly Bennett
She has grown from strength to strength this year consolidating her position in the team which is her first season with us. She has also been super flexible and played wherever we have needed her and has played strongly in a position of WD that at the start of the season was not a normal position for her! She has built on her skills, adapting her play to our game. Her ability to jump when defending the ball is amazing and the envy of some of her team. She has fitted into the team well, building in strength as the season progressed and growing in confidence throughout. We have seen an improvement and think there is still more to come!
Looking forward to seeing her continue to develop and for us to help her find her aggressive side as she is probably one of the nicest girls we’ve ever met.
New to the club and team, she’s fitted in well and played good netball. Over the second half of the season she has shown more grit and consistently intercepted many balls in every game she has played, creating many scoring opportunities. Never gives up and flies around the court like a little flying machine, gaining loads of interceptions with a great jump on her! A good player when she joined us, now turned into a fantastic player…her improvement is amazing!
Hannah has developed into a stronger player, shown willingness to try new positions and has excelled. She has come from struggling to defend the ball to a feisty fighter and has shown great commitment this year. Her game tactically, has improved.
The team coaches decided the most improved player award goes to Holly., commenting “It ‘s great to see how much Holly has progressed throughout the season becoming a more controlled player with great passing and feeds into the circle. She is so determined and level headed and listens to all our advice”.
