Match Report - Team Thunder 06.01.2019

Team Thunder travelled away to play Cornwall Storm in Truro. Without several key players, we had to rope in Paula Young, 14 year old Daisy Harrison, Claire Turner & Abbie Plucknett. Titans were a bit slow out of the blocks and some unforced errors enabled Storm to build a 17-12 lead at the end of the first quarter. The 2nd quarter Claire made way for Abbie a WA. Daisy played superbly, considering this was her first taste of Senior Regional League level, and she was nailing her shots. Unfortunately we still couldn't disturb Storms play, and at half time the score was 31-21. The 3rd quarter, Rowan Fitzsimmons came off and Abbie went to WD, and Claire to centre and Nicole Lathwell to WA. The defensive duo of Paula and Ruth Chamings also switched. Ruth & Paula worked tirelessly together to apply pressure. Unfortunately Daisy got an injury in this quarter, and had to come off. Several changes were made and Lorraine Cleverdon Brend went to GA and Claire to GS. At the end of the 3rd quarter the score was 41-30. In the last quarter Nicole went to GA and Lorraine back to GS, Abbie to WA and Claire to centre. Storm were able to extend their lead in this final quarter and the game finished 58-39. Player of the match from the opposition went to Paula Young and from the Titans, player went to Daisy Harrison. 

Team Line Up: Paula Young, Ruth Chamings, Rowan Fitzsimmons, Nicole Lathwell, Claire Turner, Daisy Harrison, Lorraine Cleverdon Brend and Abbie Plucknett.
