Camilla lands Marlins victory
SNC Marlins v Eastfield CAMILLA Bisi was Marlins’ star player again this week in a one-sided match against Eastfield.
Eastfield have several key players absent this season and this allowed Marlins to dominate from the start of the match.
The shooting duo of Bisi and Lisa Hiley were never troubled by the defence and they put in an almost faultless display.
Across the whole court Marlins heaped the pressure on, Dani Rowley, Clairethorpe and Rebecca Muggeson were fast and accurate through the centre court and Catherine Whyte was her usual tenacious self at WD, rarely allowing the opposition to get into their stride.
Creditmust go to Marlins’defensive pair of Laura Ramm and Kayleigh Tapsell as they continue to close down any attacking moves in the circle with ruthless efficiency.
Emma Northgraves was Eastfield’s player of the match, with Jo Fowler making the most of her opportunities at GS. Queen Bees v Castleton
