| Falcons Black vs Leyton 2 March 2014 Starting 7 GK – Adelaide Muskwe GD – Jemma King WD – Kaylea McQuade C – Eleanor Durcan WA – Jessica Smith GA – Olivia Mason – Captain GS – Christie Simpson Sub – Harriet Gill Sub – Cherese Naylor Coaches Head Coach - Kaylea McQuade Assistant Coach/Team Manager – Donna Swann | Falcons started the first quarter strongly, scoring the first goal of the game. The defence of Adelaide, Jemma and Kaylea worked hard to stop the experienced Leyton side throwing the ball into the attacking circle, whilst the Falcons attack displayed good rotation and offers. However Leyton’s experience shone through, leaving the quarter time score line: Falcons Black 10-17 Leyton. Falcons made no changes at the break and it was a strong quarter from all 7 players. The Loughborough-based team converted the majority of their centre passes and maximised on any turnovers they got. The fifteen minute performance resulted in Falcons winning the quarter by 5 goals (14-9) and reducing Leyton’s overall lead to just 2 goals. |
Falcons again retained the same team for the third quarter but it was Leyton who took their opportunities this time, helped by some fresh legs. The quarter ended Falcons 11-16 Leyton.
Emily Watson (WD) was brought on for Falcons’ final quarter, with Kaylea moving to C. This period was pretty much goal-for-goal, with both teams scoring 14 goals each.
The final score was Falcons 49-56 Leyton – a pleasing performance for Falcons overall.
