Hatfield win 3-2 away to
Harriers Hawks! It was a very passionately
played match, with plenty of noise when things went well. We
deserved
the win as we were always a set up or equal in sets. Man of
the match
was Gary who played outside and won us a lot of points
with his strong
hits that generally didn't come back. Also our serving
was very
consistent. Our team was Guy, Andy, Iain, Sylvester, Gary and Philippe.
Thanks to all those who played.

Well done
for the fantastic game last night, it was a considerable WIN!
Score:
16-25 lost
27-25 win
25-20 win
25-16 win
I think Olga's single setting is working brilliantly: well done Olga
for great court coverage and
super setting,
just need to work on higher arm setting to avoid any calls for
carrying, a minor point.
The first set we played we were in front all the way until
they made a
substitution and we didn't win a point after that! I think we lost that
set on lack of confidence at the end and two people going for a ball
and nobody taking it! This is where calling is so important.
We must still
be more vocal on court, taking a ball, and attacking.
The next 3 sets were brilliant and I think we have a really strong team
this season. Serving, blocking and attaching from all sides of the
court worked brilliantly. Well done to all for playing so well and for
all ladies that attended.
WIN
WIN WIN
Cant wait for the next match!!
- Lynne (a very proud Captain)
Firstly, a thank you to all the match officials for giving up their
saturday
afternoon to help ref and score. And thank you to all those who played
in the game. What went well? Our attacks from front court and from back court
were
consistent, hit hard or well placed from everyone. We started off by
making
plenty of noise and we were positive which helped us win the first set.
I think
everyone gave their all and it was an improved performance compared to
the
previous 2 matches. Shot of the match was Lynne's acutely angled cross
court
spike at set point up in the first set! What can we do better next
time? Our
serves need to go lower over the net so that they don't go out the back
(mine
in particular). Our receiving needs to improve - it worked better when
we had 4
people in receive (2 short and 2 deep) and the person at position 3
taking the
set (keeping it simple). Also our defence could be better - we need to
block
short attacks, close the gap between our blockers and be able to dig up
hard
struck spikes from the opposition.
