ERNA Night Interdistrict 2006
Round 1
Team1
ERNA 70 defeated Randwick 33
We got off to a great start. The players seemed to click with a good combination of experienced players with new additions to the team. The players worked well together in both attack and defence and the result told the story.
Team 2
ERNA 30 lost to Fairfield Sydney Uni 37
It was a hard start to the competition but the girls fought hard to the end with everyone giving 100%. Great games by Nikki Clough and Natalie Simmonds.
Team 3
ERNA 17 lost to Randwick 27
Low scoring encounter with a lot of turnovers from both teams. Lack of match practice and team combinations really showed, however as the game progressed there were some great skills shown and the team work will develop as they gain confidence in each other.
Team 4
ERNA 32 defeated Penrith 27
Eastwood were too strong for Penrith and led at the end of each break. It was a strong team effort from the 9 players available. Good shooting from Lauren Salmon, Abby Ververka and Amy Sommerville. Centre court players - Brittany Ferguson, Jacqui Mooy, Stephanie Thompson and Abbey Jones combined well ensuring the transition up the court worked in our favour. Our circle defenders were very strong with excellent rebounding and intercepts from Courtney Moore, Natalie Mooy and Angelica Triant.
 
Round 2
Team 1
ERNA 39 defeated Sutherland 38
The Sutherland side was a young side but with lots of get up and go. Our girls took a while to gain control being behind at each break. The team pulled it off late in the final quarter to snatch victory.
Team 2
ERNA 33 lost to Bankstown 41
ERNA was up against it from the start with 5 players not available for the game. Thanks to Kate Sommerville who played up to ensure the game was a contest. The score was admirable considering we played with 6 players.
Team 3
ERNA 45 defeated St George 19
With almost a full team available and the girls worked well capitalising on opportunities and valuing possession of the ball. Goal shooting was 905 - a great achievement. Thanks to Sarah Keelan for filling in at GA for the game.
Team 4
ERNA 42 defeated Wyong 31
At the end of the first quarter ERNA were 2 goals down - and at half time still could not break the 2 goal deficit. The third quarter saw ERNA hit their straps and had the game under control to defeat Wyong. Best players were Amy Sommerville and Abby Ververka who scored great goals even though they were under a lot of pressure from very physical defenders. The speed of the centre court again assisted in Eastwood maintaining possession and capitalising on the opposition's errors.
The circle defenders worked tirelessly. A great team effort.
 
Round 5
Team 1
ERNA defeated Hills
This game was a tough encounter with the Hills team applying pressure all the way down the court from the opening centre pass. Hills had a 4 goal lead at the end of the first quarter but with a more controlled second quarter ERNA fought back to only be down by 2 at half time. With some positional changes and fresh legs at half time ERNA cranked up the pace and with speed through the centre court and excellent turnovers from the defences the shooters were given plenty of opportunities.
Best players for Eastwood Ryde - Suzanne Teulan, Alex Meecham and Courtney Rugg.
Team 2
Drew with Campbelltown 32 all
Team 3
Lost to Hawkesbury 33-40
Team 4
This was definitely the toughest fought match so far! The girls were on fire early on with Brittany Ferguson and Stephanie Thomson driving strong on to ball, Abby Veverka fast and furious in and around the circle and Lauren Salmon taking some amazing passes under the post. An excellent display of defence by Natalie Mooy, Eliza Davey and Sarah Keelan. These girls were always putting pressure on their opponents - causing handling errors by Gosford. Because Nat and Amy got so many touches on the ball in the circle, the defences did an excellent job of bringing the ball down the court. Our pseudo defence player Amy Somerville is not only a beautiful shooter but awesome when she puts on the GK patch!!!!! Jacqui was just warming up when unfortunately she had to go off injured with a turned ankle. The attacking end enjoyed a fast and aggressive game (sometimes too fast at times) but they had to make quick decisions because the Gosford defence was extremely tall. Stephanie kept up well with the fast Gosford "C", while Brittany toughed it out with the WD and Abby run under the GD's armpits!!! This is the second time in two weeks we lost by one goal - what are the chances!!!!! It went down to the wire with, dare I say, a few umpiring decisions!!! We will get them next time when we have Angelica and Courtney back!
 
Round 6
Team 1
ERNA defeated Randwick 53 - 37
Eastwood Ryde was in control for the entire game in a very physical match. Great work from Deb Deans-Smith who showed her versatility by playing at both Gaol Attack and Goal Defence. Thanks to Zelda Roesch who filled in at GS from our Division 4 team.
Team 2
Defeated Fairfield 33 - 27.
Excellent result showing the girls' improvement in court working and working together as a team as they lost to Fairfield by 10 goals in Round 1.
Team 3
Drew with Randwick 33 all
Randwick were undefeated through the first round. We started slow and were down 5-10 at the break. I brough Holly Veverka on at GS and we won the next quarter 11-5 and were in the lead. At half time Michaela came off and Ellie Nightingale came into WD. She started strongly intercepting at her first 3 feet defensive chance. At the end of the quarter we were up by 3. Randwick made some key changes and stepped up the pressure and intensity in the last quarter. Some of the girls with limited rep experience made some crutial errors under pressure which allowed Randwick to retake the lead. However the girls dug deep for the last 3 mins and pulled back to draw on the bell.
Cassie and Holly shot >80% which really helped the team to consolidate their opportunities. I was pleased overall with the efforts of the team and the error rate was lower than previous weeks against lesser competition.
Team 4
After 2 weeks in a row losing by only 1 goal - against the top two teams in the competition the team played Penrith. The game was a close one with the lead constantly changing. The result was a 33 all draw. The girls are all fired up for a win next week.
The team is currently in 3rd place.
 
Round 8
Team 1
ERNA defeated Kuringai 55 – 27 – currently leading the competition
Team 2
ERNA defeated Sutherland 42 -39 – currently in third place
Team 3
ERNA defeated Inner West 31 -29 – currently in third place
Team 4

ERNA defeated Northern Suburbs 57– 15 – currently 2nd.
We had an outstanding win over Northern Suburbs this week. Abbey Jones started off strong as C and with a speedy Steph as WA, tenacious Abby and hot shot Lauren we had a winning combination in attack! Angelica did the usual casual intercepts!!! Natalie, Eliza and Sarah were anticipating passes and got their fingertips to a lot of balls. It was nice to see Sarah back on the netball court again. Both Jacqui and Amy came on in the second quarter powering and we consolidated our lead by half time. Eastwood-Ryde went on to win 57 -15 - well played girls!!! We have a great group of 12 enthusiastic players ready to play each week, so it was Britanny and Courtney's turn to play up in the Division 8 Team. Both girls had great games in the win against Inner West.
