Bridgwater Jupiter 59, Wyndham 24

AFTER a difficult start at Wyndham, league leaders Jupiter adapted their game and began to work as a team, leading the first quarter 11-8.

Baylea Charles (C) and Imma Matcham (WD) worked tirelessly in defence and gained many turnovers for Jupiter which were capitalised by Sammy Kemmish (GS) with her accurate shooting. Jupiter led the first half of the game 28-14.

Despite Wyndham’s efforts to push play forward, they were unsuccessful due to timely interceptions and effective communication by the efficient Jupiter team.

Becky Cowley (GD) continued to pressurise Wyndham’s shooters, and excellently-timed movements in the circle by player-of-the-match Rosie Hill (GS) allowed Jupiter to push on and win the match.

Saturn 37, Sharks 45

WITH a new team line out Saturn struggled to find their feet, allowing Sharks to take advantage ending the first half 25-12.

With changes made, a positive Saturn team came back out fighting with some precise and impressive shooting from Becky Palmer (GA) and Rachael Selway (GS).

The determination and strength flowed throughout the court with vital tips from Sammie Woolacott (C) and outstanding defending from joint players of the match Katie Chedzoy (GD) and Sally Haysham (GK).

Venus 31, Quantock 44

VENUS started the game slowly ending the first quarter trailing 6-12.

In the third quarter, some great centre court play from Chris Shaw and Cath Clark allowed for some great shooting from Karis Holleron and Paige Langdon.

Mars 28, Walton 55

MARS started the game slowly finishing the first quarter 10-14 down. However, this didn’t stop Mars from fighting for possession.
