Devon Eyes -v- DRD Ivybridge

Submitted by admin on November 10, 2011 – 9:41 pmNo Comment

Devon Eyes 33 – 25 Ivybridge DRD
 
Devon Eyes sought to avoid losing three games on the bounce in this closely contested Division Two match.  Both teams started strongly, with Devon Eyes taking the first quarter 7-4.  Good shooting from Tory Lake atGS and accurate distribution from mid court by Faye Stephens (C) and Charlotte Turton (WA) saw the Devon attack start brightly.  Ivybridge were close behind, with the centre working hard to intercept stray passes. 

The second quarter saw the Devon Eyes defensive partnership of Georgina Down (GD) and Charlotte Walton (GK) restrict the Ivybridge attack to just four goals, while swift interceptions and movement up the court from Danielle Pelley in WD enabled Tory Lake to continue her rich scoring form and take Devon Eyes into a 16-11 lead at half time.
 
The seond half saw Tory Lake move to GA, with Ivybridge also making changes.  Both teams stepped up a gear and Ivybridge started to pull back the score, but Devon Eyes were just able to stay in front and ended the third quarter 25-17 ahead. 

In the final quarter, Leanne Savage replaced Turton at WA and both sides made a real push to win the game.  The Devon Eyes defence trio worked tirelessly, with their Ivybridge counterparts doing the same,  and both teams scored 8 goals in the last quarter, but Devon Eyes just had the edge, running out eventual winners.  Devon Eyes player of the match was awarded to Danielle Pelley in WD.
