Colair National Women win the double on the road
This past weekend the Colair Canberra Nationals travelled up the highway for 2 away games in Sydney.
The first game on Saturday night was against the North Bears. The Nationals came out with hi energy defensively in the 1st quarter, and kept Norths to limited shot attempts. The Nationals had good looks at the basket at the other end in this period but weren't dropping in on the North Sydney rims. This soon changed in the next three quarters to come with the Nationals converting 40%, 46% and 60% of their attempts respectively. Hannah Lewis was distributing the ball well out of the key and finding open shooters outside with their feet set.

Nationals Women shoot down Comets
Last weekend, the first place Colair Canberra Nationals took on the third placed Sydney Comets. Both teams started slow due to a lot of missed shots early and the cold Belconnen temperature. However, about half way through the quarter the Nationals stepped up with strong and disruptive defence, which caused the Comets to turn the ball over and led to some fast break points for the Nationals. The Comets made a little run back at the end, after the Nationals missed some open shots allowing Sydney to convert on their opportunities. Heading into the first break, Canberra led 15 – 10.

Nationals hook a pair of Sharks
Maybe it was the reverse game scheduling that flicked the switch but more likely it was just the dividends from persistent grit that led to the Canberra Nationals Men breaking their Waratah season duck (73-72) on Saturday afternoon at Belconnen against the Sutherland Sharks.
Saturday also saw the return of Michelle Cosier to the Colair Canberra Nationals to take on the Sutherland Sharks. Opening the first quarter we saw Lauren Jansen running the point guard for the first time at home, which meant a changed starting line up. Michaela Dalgleish had the opening five points for the Nationals and supported that at the other end of the floor with both steals and deflections, while also being backed up with good hustle from Lauren Jansen and Michelle Cosier.

Colair Nationals to strong for Norths
The Colair Canberra Nationals got out of the blocks early with some good team basketball, their defensive pressure shook the ball loose for some easy baskets. Chantella Perera (17 points, 7 Rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals) was looking dangerous and it seemed like it was going to be a long night for the visitors. However, the Norths Bears started to get into the flow of the game and when they converted on a couple of offensive rebounds, they were starting to gain confidence shooting at 60% and trailing by just 4 points at the quarter. (21-17)
