Technical holds lead
Technical still leads the senior netball competition after the second-last round of play at Hagley Park on Sundav.
It scored a decisive win over Hagley while St Nicholas, in second position, was somewhat luckv to beat Sacred Heart B by only one goal.
In Section 11, Bumside A looks to be the likely winner unless Riccarton manages to upset it in the final round. Technical 41, Hagley 29
After a scoreless first minute or two, Technical gained the break it was was searching for and quickly established a two-goal lead. Robyn Foster and Frances Granger were in fine form and showed that they are one of the most formidable pair of attackers in the competition.
Hagley’s forwards strug-
gled for possession, having to play the ball round the circle to find a gap. Lyndsay Pugh and Geane Katae had few shooting chances. Technical holding a 14-goal advantage at half-time. St Nicholas 36, Sacred Heart B 35
St Nicholas picked up an early lead while Sacred Heart B took some time to settle down. With Ann Davidson in fine form, the score was 7-1 before Sacred Heart began to swing the ball through the court effectively. St Nicholas held a slender lead. 20-19, at half-time and gradually pulled away, leading 30-22. at one stage. Sacred Heart then fought back into the match, unsettling Davidson, and scored 12 goals to move into the lead for the first time in the match.
Burnside 47, Cashmere A 19 Cashmere had one of its poorer days against Burnside A, whose goal-keeper, Wai Taumaunu, had an excellent game, continually disrupting the shooting rhythm of Cashmere’s Dianne Martin. Cashmere gave away possession needlessly on several Occasions, and Burnside capitalised successfully on these errors. Burnside led, 28-8, at half-time and was never seriously threatened, teachers College A 29, Burnside B 17
College made hard work of the first half, being slower to the loose ball and confronted with a man-to-man defensive situation. Kay Davis, the replacement wing attack, did well for College. She gave Carol Honeybone and Sue Hume several good scoring opportunities.
