Pymble 6 – Captains Report: Catherine Nacher (Year 12) and Manon O’Donnell (Year 12)
It was the game we have all been waiting for against an undefeated Loreto Normanhurst. It was a physical game, with five fouls in ten minutes! By half-time, Pymble 6 were ahead by only two points, despite constantly scoring goal for goal with Loreto. Hopes were high for the second half and teams were level for 35 minutes. With five minutes left on the clock, Annabel Taylor (Year 11) and Ashira Thapa (Year 11) were substituted on to play. Loreto managed to draw with only two minutes left on the clock. In the last 20 seconds, a foul on Georgia Phillips (Year 12), resulted in 2 free shots. The court went silent, both teams tense, ready for Georgia Phillips (Year 12) to make her first shot. Seconds later, we had won 31 to 30!
