U16 Girls Get the Season Going

The Rockets 09/10 season got off to a start last Saturday 17th October with a home game between our U16 Girls and Drogheda. With the electronic scoreboard working and manned by Kevin Fitzmaurice and Kelly O'Dwyer taking responsibility for the scorepad the club was ready for the game.
The team included Niamh Bedford, Siobhan Scurry, Orlagh Thompson, Aoife Sheehan, Dervla Kavanagh, Erica Coombes and Roisin Bruce (who also plays for the U14’s ). Louise Griffin, unfortunately couldn't make it.
Orlagh Thompson started the scoring for Rockets and after the 1st quarter they trailed Drogheda by only 3 points. The 2nd quarter was a great quarter to watch with some marvellous scores coming from fast breaks and lovely taken lay-ups. At the end of the quarter both teams had scored 5 baskets each. Tiring somewhat the team just scored twice in the third quarter but in the forth they outscored Drogheda. However, they never recovered from the 3 point lead in the 1st quarter and the match finished Rockets 27, Drogheda 30. The girls should be very proud of their performance and this writer feels that they have a great season ahead of them.
The girls are home to Navan next on Nov.7th. It should be a good one !
