U14 Match Report
The last trip to Poole today for the winter season where all the teams played a versatility tournament. The team were Abi, Anna, Eleanor, Ellie, Holly, Lucy, Phoebe and Sophie. They had four 8 minute matches, playing conditions were good. This tournament proved to be interesting from a coaches prospective. The team played well and several players will now be considered for new playing positions. The players have enjoyed playing in the Poole league even though there were no wins to be had, they had some close games. Looking forward to the next season......bring on the summer!!

Poole League Match Report Saturday 25th February 2017
UNDER 14’s
With illness and some players not being available the U14’s only had 6 players, Poppy from the U12’s kindly said she would come along to make the team up to 7, their first match was against NDNC Lightening, the defence, Ellie, Eleanor and Poppy worked extremely well together getting many intercepts, but sadly we didn’t convert our shots and missed more than we scored, all players gave 100% and Poppy was a star, the final score was 5-7
The second match was against Bournemouth; they are a very skilled team and converted 98% of their shots. We gave our best but heads went down a bit in the second half, we did get our chances to score but sadly only converted one. This team has improved tremendously throughout the season and Holly as captain has encouraged and helped the team at all times, the final score was 1-24.

Poole League Match Report Saturday 14th Jan 2017
The H5's drew their first match 3-3. They played well. Their second match was a strange event. They were winning 8-0 at half time and went on to win the game 8-4. Definitely a game of two very different halves. Players player game 1 was Bella Dawe with coach’s player being Ryan. Second match player’s player was Keely Ringwood, coach’s player was Libby. Both games were played in a strong confident manner.
The under 14's played Poole Pearls and Poole Rubies. Two very strong teams. Our girls tried really hard to make a second phase move, which is what they had worked on at training and their movement has improved hugely. Good effort girls. They kept their spirits up and fought to the end, but sadly lost both games 17-6 and 30-1.

U14’s Match Report Our U14's were looking chipper in their brand-new kit. Lovely blue dresses with yellow markings and blue patch bibs. The coaches challenge to the team was accuracy of passing. The girls rose to the challenge; their passing was hugely improved. Some girls seemed unsure of the gritty surface of the court which affected their confidence. They lost their game against Bournemouth 5 - 20. For the second game against Poole, we made some changes, but this team have played together for many years and their confidence in knowing exactly where each other were showed. The girls head went down and didn't manage to recover enough to lift their game. The score was 2 - 22 a tough loss, but we are going to work on "second phase work" after Christmas which was lacking during their game.

High Five Match Report Our third visit to Poole and our second damp grey day. The high five squad was made up of 7 girls and 1 boy and they all played brilliantly. They won their first game convincingly against Verwood 12 - 3, their movement, use of space and passing was good and shooting was accurate, they were a coach’s dream. Their second game against Poole Sapphires was more challenging, they lost 2 - 15, their standard of play was still high but the opposition had good interception skills that tested our teams timing and accuracy. They all came off court smiling and enjoyed their games. Well done!

With a squad of nine we travelled to Poole, weather dry but a bit cold. Because the fixtures had been changed we had to play the same team twice, Poole Diamonds, normally they would not be on the same day. With a squad 9 players all the rotations were used to include, Time Keeper, Centre Pass Marker and Two Scorers, this then makes sure the everyone has a job to do. The first match we started well and maintained the standard all the way through to win the match 11 – 0, the second match started slower and we missed a few shots but lifted our game in the second half to win 4-1 Well Done |

14th November 2016
A wet grey morning for blue jays u14's Poole league matches. First match verses Poole Rubies was played with a wet ball and a slippery court.
Blue jays seemed unsure of their footing but kept going. The wet ball proved tricky. Credit to Poole who won the game 24-3. Players player was Abi Hill (c) coaches player was Sophie Davidson (gk), well done to them.
The second match was against NDNC lightening. Still raining.... the girls showed much improvement with their passing and movement. At half time the game was theirs for the taking at 5-3 down.
If all the shots at goal had been successful they would have won the game by a large margin, but it wasn't to be, they lost 10-4.
Players players and coaches player was Holly Davidson (wa) well played Holly. Babs.
