Sheffield Hatters U16s and U18s Both Win Against Hatfield Fliers Away

by  • 

Sheffield Hatters U18s played well as a team throughout the game. Although starting the game slow after a motivational talk from coach Loraine  at a timeout hatters picked up the speed and took a 9 point lead in the first quarter. The Hatters strong defence prevented Hatfield from scoring many baskets leading to a 71-25 score at the end of the match.

Hatters U16’s also travelled to Thrybergh to play Hatfield Fliers on Saturday with the  return of Grace Brownell to the team.
The 1st quarter was very scrappy but Hatters led 14-12. The 2nd quarter was  much the same though an unanswered 8 point run saw Hatters end the half 30-23  ahead.
After an inspired team talk by Hatters’ stalwart, Betty Codona, who was  coaching, the girls began the 3rd quarter looking like a different team. Apart  from 2 free throws for Hatfield in the 1st minute of the 3rd quarter, Hatters showed their class and scored 19 points without reply in 5 minutes. A greater  defensive hustle and intensity was what coach Codona had asked for and certainly  got. Hatters went into the 4th leading 59-38 and ran out winning 71-50 with an  all round team performance.

by  •

Milly Dooley and Zoe Silcock scored 10 each, Molly Axelby and Eleanor Neath  8 a piece and JD Quinnn  chipped in 7.
This match proved to be an excellent warm up for 3 of the under 16 players Jo Lowry, Molly Axelby and Eleanor Goodwin who immediately after kitted up to help the under 18 Hatters team beat their arch rivals Manchester Mystics. Again the team combined to score 71 to Manchester’s 65, this was then followed by a victory by Div 1.

The Hatters u16s then travelled the long journey up to Barrow in Furness on Sunday 17th November. The first quarter was a close affair with the home team just edging it 18-17, albeit with many Hatters picking up fouls. The second quarter remained tight although the Hatters went into half time 33-35 ahead. Hatters ran ahead on a 8-0 unanswered streak to begin the third quarter and forced Barrow into a time-out.
They came back all guns firing and surged ahead to a 57-51 lead, while Hatters had had starting five and influential rebounded Courtney Bennett fouled out of the game. Hatters never regained the lead and ended up with Eleanor Goodwin also fouled out and Millie Dooley was given a technical foul for asking the referee to call it both ends. A disappointing result for the u16 girls, however they will take a lot from this loss and hopefully come back stronger than ever. Final score 76-70.
Team and Scorers: Jo Lowry 26, Eleanor Goodwin 17, Courtney Bennett 10, Molly Axelby 7, Millie Dooley 4, Zoe Silcock 4, Beth Rutherford 2, Nancy Ncuti, Jadzea Quinn and Eleanor Neath
