The u16 Bobcats had a tough away trip to Southend last weekend, playing at 7pm on Saturday evening. The main aim was to cut down on the number of turnovers from the previous game and improve our finishing under pressure. After a very disappointing final quarter at Solent two weeks ago the girls were keen to make amends.

I expected the game against Baddow Eagles on Sunday at the Dome to be close. Having lost only twice this season – one of those loses to us – and standing second in the standings, The Eagles were the team likely to give us a tough game. And they didn’t disappoint.

This week Ipswich Tomcats u14's game was against the visiting Southend Swifts, and due to the margin of victory in the previous match between the two sides, Coach Drane took the decision to allow Luke Mascall-Wright to play up two age groups with the under 16's, and with Reis Pinnock away running cross country it was an opportunity to give his bench players their time in the limelight.

Ipswich Bobcats u14s expected a tough encounter on Saturday when they travelled to Brentwood to take on the Fire.   Although they had beaten them by 28 points in their home game, they were aware that Brentwood’s star player Ellie Warden had got into foul trouble early and only played half the game.
