Netball match reports

Please find match reports from the last couple of matches.

Some more photos have been added to posterous.

B team 
Match report 1
Yesterday was our first match in Kuala Lumpur against a team called Alice Smith School. Our team played amazingly, winning 19-11, which Kristi and Sabrina helped us get with their great shooting. Everyone worked extremely hard although it was very hot and humid, and the subs were very encouraging cheering the team on! After the match we had a small ceremony where we presented Alice Smith with a DC netball and shamal, to thank them for having us and supplying us with water and oranges.

Match report 2
Our next match was against Sengalor, unfortunately we lost 7-4 but we had a great learning experience by watching our opponents incorporating new techniques in to the game. To say the least we had different styles of playing
Therefore in the future we can be prepared for unique tactics. We would have been able to get a few more goals, but their defence was strong and intense and they had an interesting chant which distracted us with its catchy tune.        

Match report 3
After that we had the amazing opportunity to play against another expatriate school but sadly we lost 17-14 . Their skill set was above their years and the umpire was very strict (we found out about a few new rules) - but all in all the girls were very accommodating and welcoming. As the opposition only had 6 players, one member on our team had to swap and play with them to make the game fair, so it was very odd for some people to be playing against their own team members, but everybody showed great sportsmanship and still played their very best.
