Pennine ready to take on the challenge

Division 1

Having won promotion to Division 1 last season, Pennine played its first match today (16/09/2012) against Bluetits and were made acutely aware of the challenges ahead, having lost the game 19 – 41. 

This was in spite of some excellent centre court play by Lauren Steadman, Pennine’s player of the match.

At times there were some excellent moves down court and things seemed to gel well together, but we were unable to deliver this consistently. Pennine has four new members in the regional squad this season who all performed well, but at the moment the squad are still getting used to each other and availability problems at this time of the season means that opportunities to do this have been limited. However, we certainly have a good foundation to build on as the season progresses.
