Eagles played BSV Billericay today who were 5th in the league, so they knew they would have to come out with a flying start to keep the consistency of their winning streak.

Eagles worked hard in the first quarter with a solid squad performance with some very slick passing from Tori, Leah and Charlotte and some great feeds from Sophia and Summer to get the ball into the shooting circle, where both the shooters, Libby and Regan maximised the opportunities and they ended the quarter 11 goals up.

In the 2nd quarter Jas came on with some fire in her belly and contested every opposition’s attacking play to get some turnovers. BSV Billericay fought back at us, making the quarter result a lot tighter with Eagles winning the quarter with a further two goals ahead making the score 37-24.

The third quarter saw a slight change to the defensive line-up with Katie moving into the GK position. The switch up saw the defence capitalise on interceptions leaving BSV Billericay struggling to adapt quick enough to these changes. Eagles started to turn the ball over quickly to stop BSV Billericay from feeding their accurate shooter so effectively. Eagles really managed to push on in this quarter with the introduction to Jem and Georgie and some amazing play from all ends of the court. The score being 56-29.

In the last quarter Eagles knew that all they had to do was maintain their lead and look after the ball. The whole squad showed some strong, confident, and accurate passages of play and worked hard to maintain goals from their centre passes, which is what they had been working on at training.

Well done to BSV Billericay for a very competitive game and a big thank you to our coaches and supporters for cheering us on and being the 8th player and for the umpires and technical table for doing a great job to help the game run so smoothly.
