Sadly, Red Dragon will be without their GA for the new season as player, Kate Lascelles has chosen to move on to pastures new. The whole club will miss you Kate!

Again, Counterpoint Networking will be without WA/WD Francesca DiStefano next Season. Fran has decided to teach abroad for a year. Again, the whole club will miss you Fran. We wish you all the best on your travels.

Counterpoint Matters had a great second half of the season, to finish fifth, just missing out on fourth place by 1 point.

We have also had a number of new members join us this season. We would officially like to welcome Carly Allman, Lowri Barden, Kat Savage, Tasha Staines, Kate Stuckey, Sam Sweatman and Becky Uttley to the club

The future is looking positive for the following season with all three teams competing in League divisions 1 and 2.

Red Dragon IT v Alpha Reds, 7th June

by Tina Hall on June 8, 2010

A devastating, defensive duo from Red Dragon IT helped clinch another impressive win for the team. The dynamic double-act of Rachel Napolitano as GD and Kate Euden as GK proved an insurmountable obstacle to Alpha’s attack. Star player Napolitano demonstrated effective blocking to prevent the Alpha GA gaining any comfortable ground in the semi-circle. While Euden’s lightning reflexes resulted in numerous tips interrupting the pass to Alpha’s GS. Despite changes to the Alpha line-up in each quarter they made no impression on Red Dragon IT as GS Jo Dodds continued her shooting success of the past few matches ably supported by Kate Lascelles as GA.
