Dorking A vs Guildford

The last game of the season and everyone was feeling good after finding out we had won the Surrey League Division 2 and will be promoted to Division 1 next season. However in the Kingston League, only 2 points separate 2nd place and 3rd place so we knew we had to win. We started the game well; with everyone working hard to defend down the court to get has many turnovers as possible. Rebecca made some amazing long passes into Nicky who held her space well in the circle against a tough defence. Tina was offering for every ball, getting free from the GD (an ex- member of the club, Lucy!) and finishing it off with great shooting. At half time we were only leading by 3. There was lots of communication in the defensive circle between Kim and Emily. They were able to stop Guildford making the easy passes into the circle, causing the umpire to call ‘held ball’. Chloe cleverly blocked the GA out of the circle and made many interceptions down the court, creating a lot of pressure for the opposition. Louisa did not stop running throughout the game and kept the ball moving fast down the court, picking out the simple yet effective passes. The game was tight all the way to the last minute; however a big burst of energy from everyone at the end of the gamevmeant that Dorking A won 48-43. A big congratulations to Louisa for getting player of the match and well done to all the players for a hard but great season! We now need to wait for the rest of Saturday’s results to find out if we have a second promotion, fingers crossed!
