The first match of the day saw Quesada take on London but despite some excellent defensive work from Ellen, Sophie and Vee their attack couldn’t benefit from this and the first half score was 8-0.
During the second half Quesada’s centre court of Heather, Mercedes and Jennie started to work together giving the shooters, Wendy and Katie, the opportunity to take some shots at goal and they managed to hold London to a 5-2 half with an overall score of 13-2.
The second match saw Rojales themselves take on Valencia. Their shooters, Jackie and Sam, had a great first half converting the majority of their shots. Tracey and Claire worked tirelessly in defence making some great interceptions enabling the centre court of Louise, Lisa and Ronnie to move the ball up the court into the shooters resulting in a win to Rojales of 8-3.
Then it was the local derby of Rojales -v- Quesada. Both teams know each other’s game so well so Rojales had to call on their greater, overall experience and despite Quesada’s efforts Rojales came out winners with an 8-1 result.
Next saw Rojales take on the mighty Londoners. This was a game of exciting netball. Rojales had to change their way of play several times during the game as London’s defensive work all over the court was outstanding. Despite playing some of their best netball Rojales couldn’t match the dominance of London with a result of 13-5 to London.
Quesada then took on Valencia. This was a game which saw all of Quesada’s players stepping up to the challenge with the ball going up and down the court at a ferocious pace and Quesada were unlucky not to have got a win out of this game. But as the score of 2-1 reflects it was certainly the closest game of the tournament.
Each team then played each other for a second time with both Rojales and Quesada improving on their previous matches.
The overall tournament winners were London and Rojales were the runners-up.
The presentation ceremony followed with both the Mayor and the Sports Councillor of Rojales being in attendance to hand over ‘Best Team Players’ trophies to Sophie of Quesada and Tracey of Rojales and the Winner’s trophy plus individual medals to the overseas visitors, London.
This was followed by thank you gifts to the umpires, Mary and Debbie, and the results secretary, Lynn, without whom the day wouldn’t have been possible.
A great day of netball which Rojales Netball Club can build on with their much anticipated tournament in October to look forward to.
