Outram Red vs. St Mary’s Blue

Another convincing win against a team the Reds had struggled to get the upper hand the last time they played together. This game the Reds all played as a team, coming away with an impressive score. It was a pleasure to watch as the Reds were focused, determined and showed they are a force to be reckoned with. Player of the Day this week: Ella W, who played with conviction and confidence the entire game. Score: 30/4 to Outram Reds

Outram Falcons v Fairfield 25 July

The Falcons had a well deserved win against Fairfield, winning 2-0. The Falcons managed to keep the ball in their half for 90% of the game which was a direct result of some great defence by Cheyenne F and Zoe F (who had to fill in for an absent player). After a very frustrating first half, and with some good supporting play by Lily J as WA, Jessica S managed to get in 2 great goals in the second half playing at GA.

Players of the Day were Jessica S and Lily J.

Well done Falcons.

Outram Red vs. Fairfield Red

A nice start to the term with the Reds pulling off a convincing win against Fairfield. The Reds played well as a team, supporting each other. They have implemented some new strategies which are paying off for them. Gritty, determined play would be a good description on how they played on Tuesday night. Keep up the intensity guys! Player of the Day this week: Sarah J who blocked beautifully for our shooters, defended really well and shot a few baskets of her own. Score: 47/6 to Outram Reds

Miniball-Reds

Outram Red vs. East Taieri Green
Another loss for our Reds(only the second ever!) this week but they came up against a very strong team who had a game plan and stuck to it. They effectively shut our guys out from shooting and marked our guys so tightly they struggled to get the ball down the court. Our guys need to work on getting out from behind their players and practice their shooting! However, there were some bright moments to this game as the Reds never gave up and played better and better as the match went on. It was a great game to watch! There were three Players of the Day this week and they were: Georgia B who showed a lot of grit and determination, never losing her head or concentration, Zara S was great on defence and rebounding and Nicolas McA showed what a great impact player he is. He shut down the Taieri Greens top player and was focused the entire game. Score: 23/12 to Taieri Green
