THAME Tornadoes netball team vs Crendon – 06/03/13 – MATCH REPORT – By Bradley Rose: Careful Crendon proved to be too strong for Thame Hurricanes on Wednesday.

Thame began the game the quicker of the two sides with their swift passing moves allowing them to take an early three goal advantage. This joy was short lived however, as Crendon hit back in remarkable style to lead 7-3 after the first quarter. The quick start had drifted away, and tighter marking was needed from Thame.

The second quarter began tightly, with neither team wanting to give too much away. Thame desperately needed to get back in the game, but solid defending from Crendon and poor passing from Thame left the score at 10-6 to Crendon at the break.

The third quarter began well for Thame, with Charlotte scoring a great goal. However, this was as good as it got for Thame as they began to slip behind. This meant that with only one quarter left, Thame trailed 16-9.

There were missed chances from Thame in the final quarter but some clinical finishing from Crendon eventually sealed them the win despite a late flourish from Thame.

The final score saw Thame defeated of 21-14.
