Beachside Radiology State League Women's in form against Tamworth

SUNS BOUNCE BACK TO WIN TWO GAMES AGAINST TAMWORTH.

Coffs Harbour Beachside Radiology Suns drove across the mountain range to meet Tamworth at the Tamworth Dome on Sat afternoon and Sunday midday.

Suns were slow to start and were down 12-13 at the end of the first Quarter.  Jasmine Host was subbed on and had a series of very successful steals, finishing with great lay ups and helped turn the game around. She was supported by Emily Malouf  and Ellie Hewitt with their tough defence and at half time Suns were in front 36 – 23.  Suns had found their rhythm, much to coach Connie Wood’s satisfaction.

Coffs Suns held a convincing lead for the remainder of the game. Laura Bamford-Cleland was Coffs top scorer, despite battling respiratory problems and Rachael McGinniskin took some top rebounds and scored some contested shots under the basket.

Suns junior Serena Waters managed to hit the court for a few minutes, sinking both her free throws. The Suns junior players have really stepped up and are standing their ground in the Suns quest for the finals.

 

The second game on Sunday was a tough re-match with a more determined thunderbolts side. Coffs Suns got the win but it was a very physical match up. Piper Bourke & Georgia Martyn held their own under the basket, against some intense attack from Tamworth scorers. Jordon Woods 3 point shooting was back in form to establish the lead. Jordon top scored in the second game with 18 points while Kate Harland dished out 15 assists over the weekend.

Coach Connie Woods and Captain Kate Harland are very pleased with the team’s recovery, getting the two wins. They are both looking forward to Suns’ Jessie Reeves return next game. “Jesse will give us another tall forward as well as a great shooter & her experiences in Hawaii will add another dimension to our team”.
