Less than 5 mins in the game, Pulse lead by 5, they ring the changes and Stars empty the bench,
WOW
they get an immediate gainFull time: Pulse 52-48
Congratulations to Pulse. Proved just a bit too good as the game wore on. POTM was Halimat Adio.
After the game, it was all about the Stars. Lots of emotion on display. They certainly put up a great show in their last game.
GRAND FINAL:
Jo Trip officially retired (again). Don’t know if it’s been mention here but Jo Trip has been appointed head coach of the new Birmingham Panthers franchise.
Yeah, we mentioned that.
Grand Final:
Lightning has started very strongly, up 10-3 halfway through the first Q.
1/4 time: Lightning 14-12
What a great contest. No easy possessions. After Lightning’s fast start, Thunder warmed into the game and finished the quarter well, forcing several turnovers. Josie Huckle and Mary Cholhok are having a great battle.
1/2 time: Lightning 33-27
Just as Thunder appeared to be getting the upper hand, Lightning lifted and they had the better of the end of the second quarter. Panagarry having a great game for them. Rhea Dixon playing an important role in GA.
Thunder has to change GS, off with Reed and on Ele B,the South African international.
Apparently Reed only shot 3 goals in Q2.
Hmm, those changes work for a while
Oh dear, it’s all happening how. More changes in the attack end by Thunder but the margin has grown to 10.
Panagarry gets suspended for a poorly timed attempt at an intercept. Thunder GD hits her head and has to leave the court for a concussion check.
3/4 time: Lightning 49-42
Lightning’s lead got out to double figures before Thunder pegged them back late to give themselves a chance. Panagarry was suspended for 2 minutes after a late challenge on Ella Bowen. Lightning on top but Thunder not out of it.
Ella Bown back on but lead has grown
48-61 LightningLightning are NSL champs for the third time!!!
Full time: Lightning 70-54
Mary Cholhok seals it in emphatic style with her longest shot of the game, and the Lightning celebrations begin. Thunder never gave up, but Lightning was too good. POTM Rhea Dixon
