Very much in at the deep end, long term injury to players, academic responsibilities and an opening flurry of matches against some of the strongest teams in the league have weighed heavy of the girls. Despite this, their resilience and capacity to play with considerable spirit from the first to the last minute of every game, regardless of the score has provided some thrilling moments including the loss at home against Solent in the first Women’s National League game the club has ever played, by two points, in front of a noisy and massively appreciative home support was hugely uplifting. The players walked away wanting more. The following week’s away game to a very strong Haringey team was not what the doctor ordered!
A second consecutive away game this time at Woking saw a better all around performance with all the players contributing at both ends of the floor. Definitely a step in the right direction. A home game against Southend brought the girls down with a thump as they struggled to compete against a well drilled Southend.
The team’s coaches are very pleased with aspects of the team’s performance to date and know that there is far more to come as the player’s technical development continues and they become aware of the challenges of the game-time, on-court environment.
This weekend the girls travel to fellow league newcomers and unknown quantity, Mole Valley Phoenix, keen to halt the run of losses and show what they are really capable of.
