Oldham end year on a high

12/12/2016

 
A top of the table home fixture against big rivals and current champions, Academy, was set to be an end of year thriller.
 
Oldham were without their influential captain, Kerry Almond, after she suffered an injury playing for Manchester Thunder the day before.
 
It was the home team who were quick out of the blocks, with fast and creative mid court play from Maria McAndrew and Iona Darroch. Krista Enziano and Kathryn Turner continued their fine form to take a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. However, it was in defence that Oldham were at their very best. Abby Tyrrell, Emma Dovey and Susie Armstrong stood firm to frustrate Academy and the quarter ended with Oldham leading with an impressive 19-10 scoreline.
 
There were no changes going into the second quarter. Patient play and great through court pressure saw Oldham extend their lead to 34-23 going into the half time break.
 
Amy Clinton and Amelia Hall replaced Krista Enziano and Maria McAndrew respectively at the half time break. The changes did not disrupt Oldham’s rhythm and the home team continued to keep the scoreboard ticking over and ended the quarter with a 46-32 lead.
 
The scoreline allowed Coach, Debbie Hallas, to make wholesale changes. Emma Dovey and Kathryn Turner were given a well-earned rest. Abby Tyrrell moved back to goal defence and Amy Clinton upto goal attack. Krista Enziano returned to Goal Shooter, Maria McAndrew took the Wing Defence bib and for the last five minutes Lucy Stevenson replaced Amy Clinton at Goal Attack. It was a closer quarter with Oldham just edging it by one goal, giving a final score of 59-44.
 
Throughout the court, it was a great Oldham performance. As a team they were cohesive and proved just too much for Academy, who became frustrated and undisciplined.
 
A special mention has to go to player of the match, Susie Armstrong, who continually took intercepts, got tips on the ball and forced misses from the Academy shooters.
 
It was a happy team, who headed off into the Christmas break top of the league table.
 
Coach Debbie Hallas commented: “Our strength in depth paid off today, particularly player of the match Susie Armstrong who came in for the injured Kerry Almond. She put in a commanding performance taking 10 interception and seven rebounds during the match”
 
“We put in a great team performance and put ourselves in a great position going into the Christmas break.”
 
Player of Match:       Susie Armstrong
 
Staring Seven:          GS Enziano, GA Turner, WA McAndrew, C Darroch,

Oldham too sharp for Blades

6/12/2016

 
Oldham made the long journey to Southampton to play Viper 10 Blades on Sunday, once again with a depleted squad due to players being on England U21 duty.
 
It was a fast start for Oldham with Maria McAndrew and Amelia Hall feeding Krista Enziano and Kathryn Turner with ease and the two shooters rewarded their efforts. Great defence from Kerry Almond, Emma Dovey and Abby Tyrrell saw Oldham win the quarter 12-16
 
Quarter 2 was a different story. Oldham put themselves under pressure with uncharacteristic mistakes. It was a scrappy, low scoring, quarter for both teams with Blades edging it by one goal and Oldham finished the half with a slim lead 22-25

Oldham 60 v 42 Manchester

6/12/2016

 
NW Premier League
With only three points separating Oldham and Tameside in the league, the game was on for a highly anticipated local derby. Top of the league Oldham, started slowly with Tameside scoring off their first centre and taking advantage of a missed shot from the home side. Already two goals up after 30 seconds, Tameside capitalised on this further increased their lead to 5-0. Oldham took some time to find their form but soon went through the gears scoring five unanswered goals to level the game. The home side continued to up their momentum, and finished the first quarter in the lead with 14 goals to Tameside's 10.

 
Coach Suzy Ashworth made an early change with Isobel Hallam coming on at GA for Oldham. However, Tameside once again, were first onto the scoreboard. The game went goal for goal for a good part of the quarter, neither teams letting up. Until Oldham’s Victoria Austin suffered a nasty fall and was unable to continue on the court, Amy Neild stepped in to the WA position for the remainder of the quarter and Sarah Brennan returned to GA. Oldham achieved some key turnovers and maintained their lead, the score at the end of the second quarter was 25-20 to Oldham
 
The third quarter saw Kim Meadows introduced at GA and Rachel Fitzsimmons at GK. Oldham settled into this quarter quickly and showed a strong team performance with all players sticking to their task. Oldham built momentum once again steadily increasing their lead. But they still struggled to utilise all their turnovers. The shooting from both shooters, however, was superb. Both shooters scored 100% of their shots in the third quarter with Shepherd having 14 attempts. End of the third quarter Oldham were in the lead 41-32.

Just one change for Oldham in quarter 2 and any mistakes made by Oldham in the first quarter were surely corrected as the side exploded down the court.  Oldham continued to dominate the game and turnover balls resulting in another dominant quarter.
