Sapphires season 26/27 - Seniors New player’s registration form Senior League

Sadly, it wasn't to be for S1 as we took on a fast paced and physical EPR2 last night to keep our spot in Division 3. The scoreline blew out right from the start and we just couldn't gain any ground....
However, a new chapter awaits in D4 next season and regardless of the outcome, our gals should be so proud of how we've come together during such a tough season....
Congrats to our VC Caroline Steel who bagged the OPOM and to our Vvicki Sheed-Adams for PP....amazing effort gals 💪
Thanks for those who came to support as well last night...means alot despite not getting the result we wanted

Thank you to every single player who has stepped up and stepped out on to the court this season.... and massive thank you to our Captain Gayle Hickinson and VC Caroline... we appreciate you both so much for everything despite enduring your own personal circumstances ❤️

Onwards and upwards S1 🙌

Biggest game of S1s season tonight.... the result of this one determines whether we keep our spot in division 3 or move down to 4th....
It's been a hell of a season with so many close games... we've had to call in so many to help through injury or unavailability of the squad of which we are so thankful.... been half an hour from forfeiting games but coming through at last minute 💪
We've got this gals... just need to show that grit and determination that we have shown throughtout this season and maintain our rightful place in D3
Supporters welcome 🙏

What a way to end the regular season with an amazing win over Black Diamonds.... our girls too the lead right from the start to win the game 62-35 💪

Full court attack turned to full court defence when needed and each player played their role and fought for every single ball... our shooters were on fire and any missed shots were rewarded with great rebounds.... defensively we were all over BD shooters making it hard for them to get ball in the shooting circle...

Shout out to Captain Gayle Hickinson for bagging the opposition POM who managed to put the BD shooters off with her deflections and intercepts and amazing lean over the shot 💪
PP was split between Amelie who played full game at C, linking defence and attack seamlessly (and probably still running now 😀) and to our Jill Allison, starting the game in at WA, feeding the shooters with accuracy and precision, finishing in WD (and can I just say, watching Shamira Sterling in the SSN paid off...nice wee block over their WA at the end 😉)

Sadly, despite the win last night, we go again on 13th may to fight for our spot in Div 3... this season has really shown how we've come together and have played with different players practically each week due to illness/injury 😞
Massive shout out to everyone has helped us out this year, thank you 😊 Play offs, let's be having ye 💪

Last game of the season tonight for S1 as we take on Black Diamonds
CP 1910pm at the kelvin hall....
POM and PP to follow.... good luck girls ❤️
