LAST WEEK'S WRAP UP
was subject to change. Though
there were lots of good expecta-
tions in the lead up to the game
after a great week at training.
The first two quarters the Lady
Capitals took the game to the
Force, meeting each challenge
against a strong opposition. Our
forwards D. Lloyd and V. Aldred
lead our scoring at the half with
good support from E. Read, M.
Woodford and H. Freeburn. The
third quarter was poor as we only
troubled the scoreboard for 14
points. Then fouls called on our
Lady Capital forwards was a tell-
ing factor early in the third which
lead to a Lady Caps playing an all
guard line-up for most of the third
and fourth quarters against taller
opposition.
After a rev from our coach, the
players responded and displayed
lots of heart and team work ear-
ly in the fourth quarter but in the
end, you cannot beat height and
Force dominated the boards with
M. Walker pulling in 21 rebounds
for the game.
There were lots of positives for
the rest of the season, with the
team scoring 80 points with a
depleted squad against a taller
opposition, and our younger play-
ers taking on more responsibility.
Highlights out of the loss were the
Lady Caps played the game out
strongly and never stopped giving
their best, with a player highlight
being Emma Read playing every
role in the second half from point
guard through to centre.
In the end, it was a hard loss and
we must refocus as we have three
weeks of double headers leading
in to the second half of the sea-
son.

HUDOR MEN V IPSWICH
FORCE
by Geoff Tarrant Head Coach
The Caps took on the Ipswich
Force at home last Friday night
hoping to regain their best form
after a mini form slump over the
previous two weeks. I was a little
concerned going into the game
as our only previous Friday night
game this year was a preseason
hitout against Ipswich in which we
performed terribly going down by
about 10 points, a scoreline that
flattered our poor performance.
There was also the concern that
star Ipswich import and sharp
shooter James Legan might have
one of those nights where every-
thing he throws up goes in.
Fortunately we managed to do
a good job on Legan early in the
game but late in the first quarter
Our Caps in action!
How things went down in our last
home games
