Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th May 2015Team Jets joined Kent County, Dominoes and Leyton (latter two teams in the relegation zone for Premier League Two) at Play-offs in Loughborough to try and secure double promotion up to Premier League Two.
The opening match saw Team Jets face Kent County who were also battling for promotion. Having beaten the side twice in the league it was Kent who this time took the upperhand. Kent County 10,21,35,40 Team Jets 8,16,24,32 Having lost the opening game it was crucial that Team Jets won their next game of Day One against Dominoes who were fighting to stay in Premier League Two. The opening quarter saw Team Jets trail by one goal but from the second quarter onwards Jets stormed on to win by a fantastic margin. Dominoes 9,17,24,29 Team Jets 8,20,32,44 In a winner takes all match against Leyton Team Jets again fell behind in the first quarter. With a strong defence Jets found it hard to feed the shooting circle but began to chip away at Leyton's lead from the second quarter. With some fantastic defensive interceptions of their own coupled with Lynsey Pitman and Sophie Holmes finding more space it became a one goal game before the fire alarm halted the match with 5 minutes 53 seconds to go! Team Jets didn't let this interruption effect them in fact they came out the better team which made all the difference allowing them to win by one goal! Leyton 11,20,29,36 Team Jets 7,19,26,37 |
Congratulations to Team Jets who earnt a well deserved promotion to Premier League Two at playoffs!!! |
Saturday 21st March 2015Team Jets played their last match of the season at Les Ormes. It was a fantastic way to end the season with Jets coming from behind to win 45 v 41! With Linden's tall GS being fed relatively easily and hardly missing a shot, Linden took a very strong early lead of nearly 10 gaols before the Jets defence started to double mark her and pressurise the passes to gain invaluable interceptions. With the crowd on their feet Jets finally gained the upper hand in the final part of the last quarter in a thrilling match.
Team Jets 8,24,32,45 - POM Lauren Devine (GD) Linden 15,25,35,41 - POM Jaydene Robinson (WD) The result means that Team Jets finish level on points with second place Kent County but third on goal difference. See the final table below! |
