Lynx v Pulse

Result 54 - 26

Coach Karen Dent

“With a strong squad of 12 to choose from, the U14 Lynx regional team took to the court ready to put months of hard training into action. Facing local rivals Plymouth Pulse, the team was buzzing with excitement for this eagerly anticipated derby.

Boasting a squad full of versatility, our players showed their adaptability, giving their all regardless of the bib they wore. From the first whistle, Lynx worked tirelessly to turn over the ball and focused on smart, strategic play to convert possession into goals.

Our pre-match focus on ball placement, maintaining possession, and capitalising on turnovers was evident as the team forced errors and quickly turned them to our advantage.

The Pulse shooting circle provided tough competition, keeping our defence on their toes. However, with player rotations to keep fresh legs on court, our defensive unit rose to the challenge. Any errors were swiftly punished, with turnovers driven back to our attacking end to add to the scoreboard.

Lynx's versatile shooters shone, showing not only their accuracy but also their ability to transition seamlessly into the midcourt, delivering precision feeds into the circle. The midcourt players were relentless, shutting down opposition options, forcing the ball wide, and creating opportunities for our defence to intercept.

In the shooting circle, the attackers executed sharp movement, created space effectively, and capitalized on second chances with solid rebounding. The team stuck to the game plan and secured a well-deserved victory in what was a competitive and enjoyable match against Pulse.”

Coach’s Player of the Match: Alisha Ismail – for her relentless defending, exceptional ability to close down space and players, and for consistently turning over the ball in the circle.

Well done, Lynx! A fantastic team effort with lots to build on as the season progresses.
