Banbridge started strongly in the second quarter and from the strong defence and interceptions the team were able to capitalise on this with the half time score being equal.

A determined Banbridge kept the momentum going and took the lead in the 3rd quarter although Glens Ladies made it difficult for Banbridge, but the girls fought hard with the score at the end of the third quarter 31-28 to Banbridge.

Banbridge knew that they hard to work hard in the last quarter to ensure they kept the lead, but unfortunately Glens Ladies made use of Banbridge’s mistakes and ended up winning the match 38-37.

A great match of Netball and display of talent but a disappointed Banbridge.

Player of the match – Sarah Porter.
