4/10/09
Oceans 31 vs 17 Uni 5
A good start for Oceans, getting their season off to a good win! There was a bit of confusion with the scores, but it was all sorted out. Best and Fairest went to Katherine at GA, well done Katherine! They only played with 7 players so an extra effort was put in by all. Well done, guys!
11/10/09
Onyx 65 vs 17 Uni 2
Scarlets 33 vs 23 Royals
Oceans 35 vs 35 Kirkaldy
Good results for each team - Onyx got their season off to a flyer with a comfortable win over Uni 2 - it gave them a chance to try different combinations, and they had added pressure with Katie filming the match! Scarlets and Royals had a great match, with Royals pushing the seconds hard and doing themselves proud. Scarlets held their nerve though, so well done! Oceans had an agonising draw against Kirkaldy, having been on top most of the match, but a good result nonetheless against a good side. Well done all!
18/10/09
National League Match
Onyx 80 vs 23 Hazlehead
Onyx got their Kukri National League campaign off to a flyer with an emphatic win over Aberdeen's Hazlehead. Despite depleted numbers and re-inforcements in the shooting circle with Kate Mac, they still eased to a comfortable victory. Hopefully an indication of things to come, (and everything being on time!). Players of the match were Kate Macmillan and Ali Tod.
CENA
Onyx 69 vs 27 Holyrood Tartans
Scarlets 55 vs 28 Phoenix
Royals 28 vs 32 Caledonian Hawks
Good show from every team - Onyx had a good win against Tartans, stopping them getting half-points despite already having played a game that morning! Scarlets had a concvincing win against Phoenix, and Royals gave a good account of themselves against Caley, just getting edged out in the end. Well done all.
25/10/09
Oceans 0 vs 10 Holyrood Celts
Some fishy goings-on at CENA mean a 10-0 loss for Oceans - mix-ups with team sheets etc. get in the way of what the league is all about - netball! I'm sure Oceans gave Celts a better game than that. We learn these lessons the hard way, folks!
1/11/09
Onyx 74 vs 43 Holyrood Thistles
Scarlets 45 vs 26 Holyrood Tartans
Royals 36 vs 31 Phoenix
Oceans 37 vs 32 Uni 4
A great week for everyone, with every team chalking up a win. Onyx and Scarlets comfortably got past the other big Edinburgh club's top two teams, Royals sneaked a great victory against an ever-experienced Phoenix side, and Oceans got a great result against Uni 4. Well done, everybody!
8/11/09
Onyx 84 vs 17 Royals
Scarlets 54 vs 27 Uni 2
In the all-ENC clash, Onyx showed just why they are the top team at the club, with a big win over Royals. It was all in good spirit though, and Royals played nicely, despite the scoreline. Scarlets eased past Uni 2, just one away from stopping the half-points, but a good result nonetheless. Good work, everyone!
22/11/09
National League Match
Onyx 71 vs 39 Newman NC
In the National League Onyx once again proved that they are the ones to beat, with a strong show against Lanarkshire's Newman. Despite an injury-ridden squad, the Onyx girls were able to find their form (apart from a dodgey third quarter!). There were no Players of the Match for some reason, but Mo Fraser had a cracker in the shooting circle. Well done, ladies!
CENA
Onyx 77 vs 37 Scarlets
Royals 17 vs 40 Uni 2
Oceans 28 vs 37 Holyrood Heathers
Onyx continued their good form of the day, with an accomplished performance against their club-mates. Scarlets put up a great fight, and were tantalisingly close to half points! Jackie Wallace and Jenny Barrass got Players of the Match, and deservedly so. Royals had it tough against Uni, again just missing out on those half points. Oceans however pushed Heathers close, and got a point for their efforts. Well done all!
29/11/09
Onyx 72 vs 32 Phoenix
Scarlets 48 vs 25 Caledonian Hawks
Royals 39 vs 53 Holyrood Thistles
Despite a shakey start, Onyx managed to gather themselves and motor to an in the end comfortable win over Phoenix. Scarlets managed to comprehensively overcome their rivals from last year, Caley, with a solid result. Royals had a magnificent game against Thistles, pushing them all the way, but just losing a bit of steam in the last quarter. Had them going though, ladies! Well done to everybody.
6/12/09
Oceans 35 vs 39 Uni 3
Oceans came despairingly close to beating Uni 3, just four goals away. Hopefully in the second half of the season that result can be over-turned! Fairest players were Jen Hardie from Oceans and our U13s coach Becca got it for Uni 3 - well done ladies!
9/12/09
Onyx 55 vs 35 Caley Hawks
A re-arranged match meant a mid-week outing for the Onyx ladies. Maybe it was down to some good work from Caley, maybe it was the fact everyone had been at work all day, maybe it was the prospect of a party at Carlene's, but the top side were a little under fire. Still, the sign of champions is the ability to win ugly, and that's what they did, and came away with a tricky victory.
13/12/09
National League Match
Onyx 70 vs 42 East Kilbride
In the Kukri League, Onyx overcame a strong young EK side, full of U21 internationals. It was a pretty close match up untill an impromptu fire-alarm went off, and it proved to be the kick up the backside Onyx needed!! The win means Onyx remain undefeated for the first half of the 2009/2010 season!
CENA
Scarlets 56 vs 61 Holyrood Thistles
Royals 39 vs 40 Holyrood Tartans
Two agonising defeats for ENC this week - Scarlets resumed their rivalry with Thistles in the seemingly eternal struggle for bragging rights. This time Thistles drew first blood with a tight win. I'm sure the next round will be different! Royals came even closer, losing by the smallest margine possible. A horrible way to lose, but look on the bright side, you got half points!
It's a testament to the level of netball at the club that our second and third sides can push the other big Edinburgh club's first and second sides so close.
Well done to all teams so far this season, a great first half of the season for the club!
