Poppy also scored some good goals as goal shooter.  Isabella, Ellie and Clara played really well in defence and didn't concede any goals. I think we could be running into space a bit more rather than just standing still.  We also had a strong defence to build up to get us to score and to defend our netball post.  So we had a really good match... and, of course, the match tea was delicious as well!
