Barker 2 (2) vs St Andrew’s 1 (2)
The Second team drew 2-2 against St Andrew’s in a tightly contested match. The girls need to work on goal scoring techniques as they missed a number of good opportunities but it was encouraging to see the team communication developing. Cassey Collin and the keeper, Annabelle Wotton were strong in defense.
Barker 3 (3) vs Macquarie Uni (4)
Though the final scoreline was not the way the team would have liked, many positives came out of the game. After a slow start the team found itself 3 goals to 1 at half time and were then always on the back foot. With a change in tactics and the reorganisation of the team's positions, the team saw its fortunes change with the score levelling at 3 all with one minute remaining. During the second half, the girls displayed their impressive ball and team skills while also developing an understanding of the level of 'friendliness' that can be bestowed on to their opposition. Our goal scorers this week were: Krista Chapman, Laura Handel and Rebecca Pfeiffer. Michelle Brown is to be thanked for being a last minute fill-in and at the same time, congratulated on her impressive Waterpolo debut.
