Eagles battle Tatura at home

Under 15s by Harper Smith Mansfield 42 defeated Tatura 36 Best on Court sponsored by Mansfield Cinema – Ellie Marks Coaches Award sponsored by Subway – Harper Smith IT was a sunny early start for the girls, we went out on the court strong knowing that Tatura was going to come out hard and want a win, but we were able to stay steady throughout the game. Our defenders held up a good fight keeping Tatura to less goals, our attackers were feeding it nicely down the court into our shooters, it was a close game, but luckily in the end we ending up winning by six. Under 17s by Remy Stevenson Mansfield 31 defeated by Tatura 32 Best on Court sponsored by Joanne Holt – Molly Judge Coaches Award sponsored by Subway – Remy Stevenson THIS week the U17s faced a tough game against Tatura. Ava was in centre, Remy wing attack, Isabelle goal attack, and Annie in goal shooter. The lineup was Brianna in wing defence, Jaspa Robinson in goal defence, and Molly in goal keeping. These three girls worked so well and effortlessly to get the ball. We had Eliza who transitioned into the game in the attack and Libby playing wing defence doing some great things as well. The girls fought hard and were up for most of the game, but unfortunately it just slipped away from them with minutes to go losing by a point. Molly Judge won best on, and Remy Stevenson won coaches. Well done Eagles. B Reserve Mansfield 16 defeated by Tatura 49 Best on Court sponsored by Alpine Home – Alex Duncan Coaches Award sponsored by Subway – Caroline Trenfield THE B-res girls fought tirelessly from the first whistle up against the almighty Tutura bulldogs. The pocket rocket Eliza Pollock put her body on the line for the team showing her strength through the mid court. Sophie Goff linked up strongly with sharp shooters Steph Adams and Tiarne Paterson playing in goals. Caroline Trenfield and Alex Duncan had their hands full with repeat entries, however battled strongly snatching rebounds and sending the ball back up court. A well fought contest by the girls who were unfortunately overcome by the strength of the Doggies. The Eagle girls will be looking for vengeance next week when they tackle another strong team in the Mooroopna Cats at their home ground. B Grade Mansfield 33 defeated by Tatura 55 Best on Court sponsored by Foodworks – Belle Edwards Coaches Award sponsored by Steam Cafe – Tahlia Browning WE were hopeful going up against Tatura this week. Scores were close all throughout the game, but unfortunately Tatura ran away with it in the end. Our defence end with Belle Edward’s , Romy Lee kapelle , Chloe Judge, were amazing at interceptions, there pressure created Tatura to turnover the ball resulting in the mid court consisting of Cass Dolling and Tahlia Browning to get it down to the goalers. We had the help in the mid court with Issy Byrne, Annie Thomson and Jasper Robinson in the ring for most of the game helping feed passes to Jamie Davis. Not the outcome we wanted on the day, but looking forward to finishing the season strong. A Grade by Darcy Croxford -Demasi Mansfield 31 defeated by Tatura 51 Best on Court sponsored by Foodworks – Lexie Joyce Coaches Award sponsored by Byrne Seeds – Darcy Croxford-Demasi THE weekend saw Mansfield Eagles play Tatura at home. With Tatura being in the top four, Mansfield knew they had a game on their hands. From the first whistle both teams came out firing. Alex Ball and Amy Dixon-Rielly rotated well in the goaling ring, using their speed and athleticism to jump for rebounds and high balls, while Molly Rekers used her height to hold in the ring. At the end of the first quarter Mansfield were down by only four. Grace Amarant, Lexie Joyce and Tahlia Browning showed their strength through the midcourt connecting the play from one end to another. Both teams were forcing turnovers which excited the crowd. By half time Tatura had extended their lead to nine goals. Tilly Lang, Nelle Cousins and Darcy Croxford-Demasi provided turnovers in the defensive end with fast footwork and defensive pressure. Unfortunately, Tatura continued to extend their lead throughout the second half of the game. Mansfield played a consistent game and managed to close the margin of goals lost to Tatura compared to last time A Grade versed them. Next week we face Mooroopna away, with only two games left of the season the A grade side has shown their ability to adapt to different game styles and continue to develop which is very exciting. Go Eagles!
