Netball against Cumnock

Doon kicked off their netball season with two games against Cumnock 1 and Cumnock 2. Our girls started off strong against Cumnock 1, with Sophie Dobbie scoring 2 amazing points from the circle edge. Jade Scott helped with another few points and together they had earned Doon 6 points against Cumnock 1’s 4 points. Our girls came back on to court in high spirits but unfortunately our defence system consisting of Claire Boyd, Lauren Shaw and Paige McMahon were unable to stop 8 more goals coming in from the opposition. With the help of Annabel McTaggart and Tammy Reid, our attackers, managed to score another two nets, which brought our final score to 12-8. A narrow defeat but a well played game. With only 5 minutes rest, our girls were back on court for their second game that day against Cumnock 2. The game started off in a scrappy manner, and even resulted in an injury that meant Reagan Heggie had to come on as a substitute. Fortunately our girls were in the way of the game by this time and Sophie and Jade scored several nets in quick succession, taking the score to 7-3 by the first half. By the second half, our girls were on fire, scoring goal after goal. Cumnock managed another goal but this could not hold against Doon’s 13 points. Final score ended at 13-4 to Doon. Special thanks go to Tammy Reid and Raegan Heggie for standing in at the last minute and congratulations goes to Lauren Shaw and Jade Scott for receiving Players of the Match!
