Abergavenny B v Silurians A POTM and Captains Players 👏

Oppositions player went to Captain Molly (again!) who works so hard in both attack and defence. A steady force in C on Saturday, she reads the game perfectly to defend every pass and feed the circle on target every time. Molly came up with so many interceptions and deflections we lost count, and ends every game with almost no mistakes consistently.

Captains Players went to Ash & Vick jointly. Our attacking end showed its full capabilities with excellent link play, feeds to post and shooting accuracy. Leading the way were our GA and WA combo of Ash and Vic!

Ash had a really strong game offering perfectly times circle drives and excellent shooting statistics.
Vic played her usual strong game as primary circle feeder and was working tirelessly in the mid court to ensure we alway had the next pass option available.
The link play between these two was excellent this week. Well played girls!

Abergavenny B 51 - Silurians A 37 🏀

A win for our B team on Saturday, coming up against Silurians A team who are similarly ranked in the table.

A strong start took us a few goals up, and a consistent 4 quarter performance from everyone resulted in a fantastic win. The squad fought from the first whistle, with attack firing and shooting on point. Mid court were steady and precise, with turnovers galore from the defence who worked hard against the opponents accurate shooters.

Everyone pulled together to maintain a lead in a great game, thanks to Silurians who are always fab to come up against.

Abergavenny D v Abertillery E POTM and Coaches Player 👏

Oppositions player went to Fern this week, and coaches player went to Annabel. Both had great games and played really well.
Well done girls, keep it up 🎉

Abergavenny D 22 - Abertillery E 45 🏀

Strong start from the girls, with some of them out of position. Unfortunately the score slipped away from us but the girls head their head high & kept going, with some beautiful game play through the court. The team continues to become stronger each week & we go again next week. 💪

Abergavenny C v Abercarn Astros POTM and Captains Players 👏

PoTM- Callie who is a force to be reckoned with in GK/GD. Callie left nothing on court, providing interceptions and turnovers throughout. A very deserved PoTM

CPOTM - A massive thank you to both Lucy and Lou Lou for stepping up from U14s and supporting the Cs. Both took to court with no fear, having strong games whilst creating some beautiful play during their first matches in division 3. Well done girls!

Abergavenny C 27 - Abercarn Astros 36 🏀

Last Saturday saw the Cs with a only 6 players available, utilising two under 14 players, come up against Abercarn Astros.

There were some great passages of play throughout the game, however some misplaced feeds and unforced errors ultimately cost us the win. Well done to the girls for not giving up until the final whistle and closing the goal deficit in the third and fourth quarter.

Abergavenny B v Chepstow POTM and Captains Player 👏

Oppositions POTM went to Bry, which was thoroughly deserved. She was relentless in her hunger for the ball, anything loose she was on it! Really good turnovers and tight 1-on-1, well played Bry 💪

Captains player went to Lou, for a brilliant game forcing errors from the opposition due to tight marking and allowing us to capitalise on her turnovers. A strong lean over every shot, giving away very few penalties with a clean game.

Well done ladies 🎉

Abergavenny B 40 - Chepstow 32 🏀

Bs came back fighting on Saturday to secure a win against a strong side in Chepstow. A close game throughout, losing the first half but we pulled away in the second half to take the win by 8 goals.

A fantastic team effort, going in positively and continuing to fight until the end. Some great shooting, unstoppable defence and lovely flow down the court. We minimised on errors made across the last two games, and hope to continue working on our game in training to put new skills into play 💪

Thanks for a fab game Chepstow!

Abergavenny B v Atlanta A POTM and captains player 👏

Oppositions player went to our Captain Molly, who is so consistent and steady across any position (including GA recently!). Mol gives her all every week in attack and defence, ever reliable with ball in hand and getting intercepts all over the place. So encouraging for the rest of the team, directing the play so we can always hear her on court 🗣️🗣️

Captains player went to Vic who played an outstanding WA, keeping calm and collected and constantly offering herself as a free option. Her vision to goal and pin point passing created magical feeds. She remained a positive and reliable presence on court all the way through the game. Well played Vic.

Abergavenny B 37 - Atlanta A 39 🏀

A nail biting game last week for Bs, starting strong and maintaining a lead through until the last quarter where Atlanta made a strong comeback to take the win by 2 goals.

Awesome play for a huge part of the game by the entire team, just a shame we couldn’t hold out until the final whistle with some small and unforced errors creeping in with Atlanta capitalising on these well.

Introducing our NEW B team co-captains!

Our Bs have had a lot of changes since trials, with new members joining the squad and commitments changing so we thought the turnaround was the best time to change the captaincy roles. A couple of weeks ago, Bs reshuffled to balance the leadership at both ends of the court, with attacking and defending on court co-captains.

Thanks to Molly and Maddy for stepping up for the rest of the season, with Vick looking after the organisational side to allow Mol&Mad to focus on the game and changes to be made.

Attack captain: Molly.
“Our combinations in the attacking unit are improving week on week. As we move into the repeat fixtures for the second half of the season, I’m really looking forward to working with the girls, putting our new structures into practice for some match winning performances!”

Defence Captain: Maddy
“The passion and commitment I have for the defensive role on and off the court can hopefully mean I can lead our defensive end into success. I am Super excited to be chosen as the Defence captain for the squad and thankful for the girls to have this faith in me 🫶”

Abergavenny A 40- Llanyrafon 29 🏀

After a good 4 week break the A team could not wait to get back on the court again.
As soon as the first whistle was blown Aber were determined to play their best netball, feeling fresh and springy.

Sitting on the same points in the league standings the A’s knew that they would have to work the ball down with speed and accuracy down the court to beat a strong llanyravon defence.

The movement in the shooting circle from Devun and Ria was excellently timed, beautiful balls fed in by Liz and Efa and there was plenty
of support and wonderful turn overs by Ffion, Kate, Lilly and Karla in defence, with pressure on the attackers every pass.

What a great start to the turn over point in the lead hue- a brilliant end to end exciting game, we wish the best of luck in the rest of their games this season. 🏀
