Hucclecote Panthers continue to dominate in the South West Under-16 Netball League with another strong performance – this time against third-placed Jersey Jets as they won 56-37.
Jersey started brightly and Hucclecote held only a narrow 12-10 advantage at the end of the first quarter.
The second quarter saw Hucclecote pull away with Izzy Robinson working solidly at WD. Sharp shooting by Jane Taylor, who netted 12/12, and Emme Hale (5/6) saw Hucclecote extend their lead to 29-19 at half time.
Eve Saunders replaced Caitlin Santacroce at GK and she performed well while captain Ella Powell-Davis provided great protection in front of her and earned her the player of the match award.
Elisha New and Lucy Martin continued to impress in the final quarter along with Hale, who was eventually replaced by Lucy Martin after picking up an ankle injury. Martin partnered the impressive Taylor while Ellie Parker took on the WA role.
The win leaves the Panthers on top of the table.
