Double victories for the netball teams
The Blues were convincing victors over Bedford, while the Jays claimed success over Oxford
Blues 80 - 21 Bedford 1sts
Cambridge expected this game to be the toughest of the season, with Bedford having just been relegated from the league above and being just below Cambridge in the league. As a result, the Blues went out hard, aiming to give their best possible performance. All the team certainly delivered. Every single player on the court had an absolute stormer; from the unstoppable defence of Laura Spence, Charlotte Plumtree, Hayley Smith and Jodie Green, to the phenomenal shooting of Izzy Bell, Frances-Lee Barber and Sophie Hussey. In centre court, Nicky Taylor also gave a fantastic performance, alongside Emily Coulter, with beautiful passes and slick movement down the court. The Blues took a huge victory of 80-21 over Bedford that was incredibly well-deserved by the all-round dazzling performances.
Jays 58 - 26 Oxford 2nds
Heading to Iffley Road is always a daunting task, especially when the Jays had to confront memories of Varsity 2013. However, it was time for them to move on as the Jays looked to the match with a newfound positivity. Dominating the game from the start, the shooting duo of Maddy Eno and Emily Elliott were on fire in attack, whilst the defensive unit of Zoe Sciver, Charlotte Salisbury and Kate Garden kept Oxford out. With the score standing at 27-11 at half-time, the Jays continued to lead the way. A shaky third quarter only increased the Jay's lead by one goal, and motivated the team to play hard as the centre court work of Caitrin Bush and Becky Haggie fed the ball beautifully into the circle. The final quarter saw the Jays storm ahead as the game ended 58-26, a well-deserved victory. The Jays now sit second in the league, as they look to take on Oxford 1sts in the Midlands Conference Cup next week!
