Dominoes broke the first Falcons centre pass of the game and raced into a 6-1 lead. Only then did Falcons start to settle. Key interceptions from Kathryn (GD) and Jemma (WD) were made whilst nice patches of through-court play were seen up court, culminating in excellent feeds to Christie and Gaby. Unfortunately for the Leicestershire team, Dominoes regrouped and took the first quarter 15-6.

Dominoes started the second quarter strongest, making it very difficult for Falcons to keep possession of the ball. Meanwhile Dominoes’ GA perfectly executed some great shots from distance, which helped to further extend their lead. Falcons’ defence of Kathryn (GD) and Jemma (WD) were getting lots of tips and driving the ball down court well but the team lost the quarter 19-7.

Falcons moved Emily to C and Jessica to WA for the third quarter and the team were in control for the first few minutes. They showed great patience through court and some great long shots from Harriet and Tyler helped Falcons’ score tick along. However, for the final few minutes of the quarter Dominoes picked up the pace and went onto to win the quarter 17-7.

Clean, sharp patches of netball were seen by Falcons during the final quarter. However, the team struggled to get free in the attacking third and despite their efforts Dominoes continued to build on their lead.

The final score was Dominoes 66 - 26 Falcons Black.

Congratulations to Tyler Bexton who was awarded ‘Player of the Match’.
