A NEW-LOOK Queenscliff is eager to continue its hot start to the BFNL’s A grade netball season.<\/p>\n
The Coutas will venture to Mount Moriac Reserve tomorrow (Saturday, April 26) for a 1.45pm clash against the winless Modewarre.<\/p>\n
Coach Jane Searle said the team would look to lift its defence and be more patient in attack after getting out of jail against Drysdale last weekend.<\/p>\n
It was nonetheless a thrilling victory as they came from two goals down at three-quarter-time to win 45-43.<\/p>\n
Newtown & Chilwell recruit and goal shooter Alex Booker netted 17 goals while captain Kaitlin Gladman converted 27.<\/p>\n
Searle said Booker brought fast movement to the shooting circle and the team was learning to make the most of it.<\/p>\n
“She’s so creative and sets up a lot of different plays for us and we’ve just got to be a bit patient – last week we rushed it a bit too much.<\/p>\n
“Because we’ve got that fast movement, we’ve got to be deadly with our feeds in.”<\/p>\n
South Barwon signing Caitie Kennedy has been combing well in defence alongside Ebony Rolph at the other end of the court.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, the Coutas are experimenting with their midcourt combinations in co-captain Laura Cayzer’s absence due to a calf injury.<\/p>\n
“She’ll be back in the next few weeks but we’re not pushing her to come back too early,” Searle said.<\/p>\n
The coach added Queenscliff had attracted a flurry of interested players in recent weeks, including A grade recruits.<\/p>\n
Jess Rankin and Phoebe Knox made their club debuts in round 1 while youngster Edi Henderson-Craig played top grade for the first time.<\/p>\n
