Top of the Table Clash Draws Crowds
April 25, 2012 –

The Plymouth Life Centre saw one of its first hotly contested matches when top of the table clash between Nuffield Mini Angels  and Plymouth Pilgrims1 took place earlier this week.

In front of over 150 vocal and enthusiastic spectators who were there to support both teams, it was a head to head to see who would be crowned Premier A division and league winners for 2012.
Angels who had upset the form book in the first half of the season by winning their last encounter with Pilgrims by 2 goals were keen to see if they could repeat that result. Angels took to the Court with Elisa McKinley (GK), Jo Harvey (GD), Steph Cassidy (WD), Lou Dowd (C), Sharon Grigg (WA), Lily Tempero-Lewis (GA), Nikki Millings (GS). Angels were able to call on a highly expereinced set of reserves in Sharon Broughton and Donna O’Conner.
The game got underway with Pilgrims taking the early advantage, winning the first quarter 7-4. Angels soon settled though and despite some unforced errors being made by both sides they drew level at half time with the teams tied at 12-12.
Pilgrims shooters uncharacteristically were unable to convert a number of their shots in the third quarter giving Angels the opportunity to turn the ball over and capitalise. There was not much between the teams at the third quarter and it was all to play for in the fourth.
Pilgrims continued to press their small goal advantage with some tight defensive work. Angels however did not give up and continued to fight right to the last whistle but were unable to overturn Pilgrims who ran out eventual 21-27 winners.
McKinley, Angels captain, said she was extremely proud of the team,who have only been playing together as a team for the past year. She added that the team were now looking forward to next season to see whether they could repeat the fantastic season they have had this year. McKinley also said that special thanks should be given the family and friends and work colleagues who had come to support their games.
Well done to both teams who treated the crowd to a great game of netball which really showcased fabulous league netball at the Plymouth Life Centre.
