2024-07-15 Mummy goes to England! Final Reserves vs Vixens / Giants, Aus Camp, 2 Weekends of Amazing Rugby
Rox: Aus Camp was so tiring! We were up at 630 each morning, and I just needed some rest. Luckily, I was asked Thank you go and play the final Reserves game against the Vixens after my game last week against the Giants, and they flew me over to Melbourne for my first start! It was so exciting, and we played really well! I got quite a few intercepts the whole game which was fun. I played WD which I loved.
In the game against Giants at home, I was pretty relaxed on the bench and didn't expect to get on, but Repa got hit in the head when she came on, so I got to go on in the second half, and stayed on which was awesome! It was so much fun, and I managed to get a few tips and intercepts!
Paish: I may be running in 4-6 weeks I was told! I am still very diligent with my rehab.
S: Amazing game Rox! You looked so comfortable on the bench too! Well played! I can't believe you flew to Melbourne for another game!
C: So awesome to see you play against the Giants! Your Vixens game was amazing!
2024-06-22 WANL Semi Finals, CAS Final vs St Stephen's, I work at Bounce! I can Drive again! ANC vs Swifts
Rox: Wow, what a crazy couple of weeks! just 2 weeks ago, we played against Roar and I was so unsure as to what I was meant to do in defence, and I didn't get much game time. Last week we had our first semi-final and I played WD again, but felt I did much better. We lost, but it was such a close game and we had our chances to win.
We had one more chance to get to the final but we had to play a stacked team against Sharks - they had Ruth Aryang, Jess Repacholi, Georgie Cleaver, the Eastough sisters, Harrison the shooter, Penny, and we had to play our best game of the season to win. I had no idea where I was going to play, but Mish ended starting me in Centre! Wow, that was cool. We started off really well, and for the first time in a lot of games, we won the first quarter. From then on, we kept our noses in front, and we played solid netball - no mistakes, safe short passes, and a lot of movement! I was so tired in the 3rd quarter after all the defending and attacking we did, but as a midcourt we played so well. Everyone played awesome, and put so much effort in! We drew the 3rd quarter, and going into the 4th we were up by 4. We finally managed to win the 4th quarter by 5! We're in the final! What a game! With the odds stacked against us, we pulled it off! I was so proud!
We played our CAS final earlier in the week, and Mater Dei had never ever won a senior championship. We played at home, and loads of people came to watch. The first quarter we were even and made a lot of mistakes, but from the 2nd quarter, we stopped making mistakes, and we started to pull away. In the end, we won by 20 points which was cool!
Oh, and I finally got my dream job at Bounce! I've always wanted to work there. I went for an interview with another 60 girls, and thought I would never get in, but I got it!
I was also on the bench against the Swifts at home. I didn't expect to get on, and the Swifts expected to win. The Cransberg twins played, and in the end we outplayed them quite easily after a weak start by us.
Crazy times!
Paish: I am finally able to weight bear on my leg! That is such a relief to be able to walk again, and after a couple of weeks, I was allowed to drive! Yay! These 2 months have gone pretty quick - only 10 more months before I can think about playing again!
Last nights game was crazy good! I was so proud of my sissy after the last couple of weeks.
C: What an amazing game Rox! I'm so proud of you. This time last year you hadn't even played Opens, and you just played a full game at C. So great to watch!
S: Amazing Rox! Such a good game! Everyone played incredible
