THE Vox Centre overcame JC Cook 28-12 in Division Two of the Grimsby & District Senior Netball League.
Newly-promoted JC Cook have settled well into the second division, securing three wins on the bounce before suffering their first defeat.
The team play well together and use the full width of the court – it is clear that they have played together for a number of seasons.
However, they found it hard to notch up goals against Vox.
They had plenty of the play and netted intermittently with long-range shots by goal-shooter Laura Allison and goal-attack Niki Arnold.
Some efforts spun around the rim and away from the net.
The Vox attackers – goal-shooter Rebecca Raworth and goal attack Gill Klug – popped in shots from all angles of the shooting circle.
The first half was characterised by super interceptions and rebounds by the Vox defence team of Narissa Leyland (goal-defence) and Jane Wright (goalkeeper), who had a height advantage.
At half-time, the score was 15-7 to Vox.
The second half was similar with Vox controlling the scoring. JC Cook continued with fluent passing movements.
They had good support from goal- defence Molly Brown, centre Dom Walton and goal-attack Arnold.
Vox wing-attack Abi Kinnaird had a super second half, positioning herself well to pick up loose passes and, along with centre Amanda French and wing defence Beth French, kept her team on top. They ran out 28-12 winners.
