interview:
The Gilbert sisters
Q: How do you think the first few games have gone?
JG: The first game went well. I think we all surprised ourselves on how well we played together. The second match we started off well but lost our touch halfway through.
TG: The first few games have showed us the potential we have as a team and what we are capable of.
Q. What do you feel is your best position and why?
JG: In Bavaria I've felt comfortable in all positions the coach has put me in but I personally feel that my best is Centre because it's the one that I have the most experience in.
TG: I feel I play best at Centre as I bring a lot of energy and intensity into the game. As well as Netball, playing Basketball (also for Bavaria!) has helped me when it comes to passing and distribution.
Q. How does it feel to play on court with your sister?
JG: It feels like old times when we used to play basketball for the Gibraltar national squad together a couple of years ago. My sister and I have a very close relationship and because of that I think we have both subconsciously helped each other settle into the team as well as we have.
TG: Playing with my sister is always fun, we are both similar in playing styles and both have a competitive and winning mentality.
