After our last game against Jets we knew it was going to be a tight and tough match.
The game started and the first quarter was evenly matched going goal for goal, great patience in attack and pressure on defence meant the score after first quarter was 11-10 to Swan.
The 2nd quarter was much of the same from both teams with some excellent play for Swans attacking players to get around Jets jumpy defence. Jets started to pull away towards the end of the quarter to finish at half time 25-22 to Jets.
Into the 3rd quarter and a few changes made which took a little time to settle down and Jets had the momentum and started to break away ending the 3rd quarter 40-28. Into the 4th quarter and we started the game strong with the determination to get close to them again - Swan scored the first 5 goals in this quarter and brought the score back to 7 goals between us. Our momentum and drive took Jets by surprise and forced them to change their own tactics. We showed great patience in attack, great pressure in defence and some excellent shooting to bring us back into the game. Unfortunately we couldn’t get any closer and the final score 49-41, but Swan can be proud of the patient attacking play and the determination throughout the game that everyone showed.
