Coach Debbie Hallas opted for a settled seven to start the game, knowing that local derbies tend to be fairly heated and well contested. Unfortunately for this one that was not the case. Oldham dominated from the off with the defence working solidly to restrict the Leeds shooting pair to only a handful of shots, snapping up any rebounds and loose balls that came their way. Meanwhile the shooting circle was firing, taking balls and sinking shots with ease. Oldham eased into a 15-6 lead at the first break.

Quarter 1
The North West Prem (NW Prem) Squad entered the Hathershaw Sports Hall for their last home game there as they are moving venue. They were also following some excellent games just played from the junior side of the club. A few changes in the squad, Rachel Fitszimmons making her debut for the NW Premier League squad and Iona Darroch back with the squad after playing some fantastic netball for the National Premier side. Oldham knew it was going to be a tough game and had followed some of LSA’s scores over the last few weeks. They have a good target in their shooting circle so Oldham knew they needed to defend hard all the way through the court. Oldham started off promising with Ebbie Danson-Chappell making a great interception on LSA’s first centre pass and Oldham taking it to goal. However it didn’t continue, Oldham had lost some sharpness to their play, they didn’t apply their structure like they had done in recent games and they were slow at getting to ball on defence. Oldham stayed in touching distance and squeezed a win in the first quarter 17 goals to 14.

​POTM Lucy Stevenson  
Oldham found their way to a rainy Warrington. With the team talk complete and the warm up well under way, Oldham were out in force once again with 11 players in the red and blue kit. Amy Neild was back with the North West Premier League squad for this game after begin part of the National Premier League squad for the last few games. Warrington had also not lost a game in the league so far, so a lot of pressure on both sides to maintain their winning streak. Oldham wanted to maintain their pressure on Warrington's centre passes like they did against Trafford, but Oldham allowed Warrington to score off their first centre pass. However the red and blue side were hungry to score off their own centre passes and continued to keep possession all the way until the ball went into the net. With the goal machine in at GS (Lucy Stevenson), she was on fire once again scoring 100% of her shots. Oldham passed to hands a few times and was complacent with the ball and their movement, but they managed to win the first quarter 17-14.

Oldham succumbed to their first loss

10/11/2015

 
Oldham Netball Club succumbed to their first loss of the season on Sunday, losing a nail biting game 44-45 to Academy.

The first quarter was the difference for Oldham. The home side started brightly, with turnovers, but the attacking end failed to click with stray passes and loose shots. Academy's attack were playing some strong and quick netball and their defence were out muscling Oldham's shooters in the early part of the game, taking an early 6-1 lead over the hosts. Some neat play from Oldham saw them close the gap to two goals, but the momentum was short lived and Academy stretched out to take a 16-11 lead at the break.

POTM Susie Armstrong 
Oldham arrived through the fog to their home turf at Hathershaw. With a full squad, Oldham were ready for anything Trafford was going to bring to them. With a later than scheduled start Oldham were on their way and they definitely made an early impact turning over the first 4 of Trafford’s centre’s and scoring off 3 of them. A few errors creeping in to Oldham’s game, but with the ‘rebound queen’ Susie Armstrong at the back, Oldham were able to continue to get chances to work the ball to their shooters. Oldham gained an impressive 17 turn overs in the first quarter. Oldham led the way with the score at 17-7 at the end of the first quarter.
Going into the second quarter, Katie Bodha came on at WA. Oldham continued their fast start and made it really difficult for Trafford’s defence. Trafford’s shooters were on point, scoring from anywhere in the circle, so were Oldham’s shooters, both scoring 100% of their shots. Oldham continued to turn the ball over and making it very difficult for Trafford’s attack to get out for centre passes. Unfortunately after only 5 minutes into the quarter, Rachael Taylor took a tumble and twisted her knee and had to come off. Ellie Fitzhugh made her debut and replaced Taylor at WD. Oldham took a while to settle back in, but they soon did and another impressive performance by the red and blue side, taking the overall score to 35-17.

Third quarter and coach Ashworth made some changes, Fitzhugh went to GD, Ebbie Danson-Chappell came to C, Kimberley Meadows to GS, Lucy Stevenson to GA, Bodha to WD and Victoria Austin came back on at WA. With a lot of changes, it could have affected the structure of Oldham’s play, but it didn’t, Oldham got into the game straight away and again we saw the turn overs coming in especially from Armstrong at GK. Oldham played some fast netball down court and with their quick turns began to release the ball and get it to our shooters. Oldham won the third quarter by 12 goals taking the score to 63-21.

Fourth quarter, Gemma McDermott came back on at GK, Armstrong came out to GD, Fitzhugh to WD, Bodha to C, Danson-Chappell to WA and Austin to GA. Oldham had some moments of brilliance and also some moment of errors. They allowed Trafford to play their game at parts, but Oldham managed to hang in there until the final whistle and win the last quarter by 2 goals, taking the final score to 64-32.

Suzy Ashworth quote: “I was really pleased with everyone who played today, they all put out a performance. I was really impressed with how many ‘team’ turnovers we got today due to the whole team forcing errors. Well done to Susie Armstrong she had a cracking game and was first to the rebounds and turned the ball over 12 times throughout the game. We hope Rachael Taylor has a speedy recovery with her knee and gets back soon”.  

Next game will be a tough one against Warrington on Saturday 7th November away.

Oldham ground out another win vs Oaksway

3/11/2015

 
Oldham Netball Club's premier league side took a hard fought five points when they faced Oaksway in Hartlepool on Sunday.

A strong seven from both sides led to a cagey opening with goals and turnovers traded fairly regularly, until Oldham finally took hold of the game. Some strong play in the defence from player of the match Emma Dovey and Kerry Almond on the home side's shooting pair allowed Oldham to carve open a lead, with Maria McAndrew feeding well into the shooting pair of Kathryn Turner and Krista Enziano. They led by two at the first quarter break.

No changes going into the second quarter and Oldham ramped it up, taking the game by the scruff of the neck with some great pressure from Taylor Cullen and calm play down court by Amy Neild. Oldham's defence was working overtime and the centre court were working quickly and fluidly against the solid defensive pressure from the home side. Enziano was contending with some strong body contact in the circle but was working well to create space and take some good feeds. At half time Oldham led 25-14.

Coach Debbie Hallas, opted to bring Abby Tyrrell and Iona Darroch on for the second half and the changes didn't affect Oldham. They continued to work hard, keeping the gap between the two sides. Some wayward shots allowed Oaksway to cut the deficit but some great play and an intercept from nowhere by Darroch took it back out again. To keep the lead solid going into the last.

It was a low scoring game, with the last quarter a goal for goal affair. Some outstanding though court work from both sides and some missed shots were the order for that final 15 minutes. But Oldham held on to take the win 47-36.

Coach Hallas said: "We ground out a win today, our shooting circle were given a tough time and our stats suffered for it. Kerry Almond and Emma Dovey were solid in defence and turned over plenty of ball, I was also pleased with the substitutes that came on, Abby Tyrrell and Iona Darroch. They both had an impact which is what I ask of them. My player of the match today was Emma Dovey."
