In their best game to date Hearts produced a great team performance to gain a win.
Instead of waiting till the second quarter to start performing, the defence and offence were both on top form from the start. Tash Alexander GK and Carly Ritson GD made countless turnovers which resulted in countless goals for Hearts. They led in the first quarter by 10 goals to 2.
Andrea McCall GS scored consistently, along with Kelly Pleasants GA against their very tall opponents to take high percentage shots in the shooting circle. At half time Hearts led by 16 goals to 4. Centre court passing between Georgina Guy C, Emily Aston WA and Mia Quick WD was at its best with perfect timing and movement between them making passes into the shooting circle easy. McCall was on fire with her shooting and Hearts took an unassailable lead.
Alexander and Ritson held them to one goal in the third quarter while Hearts forged ahead ending the third quarter 20 goals to 5. The last quarter saw Wessex Sabre take control and they pulled back 7 goals whilst limiting Hearts to 4, but it was too late with a final score of 24 12 to Hearts.
Andrea McCall took the Player of the Match award for her fantastic shooting whilst Mia Quick took the Player’s player for her outstanding performance in defence. Thanks to Izzy Book for subbing. Hearts are sponsored by Dennis Maps.
