Match Report by Hannah Clarke
Leeds Rhinos made history as they took to the court for their first every Vitality Netball Superleague match. They defeated Celtic Dragons 35-65 in the first game of the season.
Rhinos looked as though they have been playing as a team for a long time. They had a solid structure throughout the court with every player transitioning from attack to defense really well. All 12 players were able to take to the court and provide something different for their first game as a team.
Dragons took a while to settle in the first half. According to Sky Sports, in the first quarter they only had a 66% shot success, but this improved to 100% in the second period, the closest quarter of the game with Dragons only losing by four goals.
In the second half Rhinos continued to dominate, moving the ball quickly through the court with every player doing something to turn the ball over. They controlled the play well as a whole unit throughout the match with each player doing their job to secure the goals.
The presence of Donnell Wallam in the shooting circle was a huge advantage for Leeds in both attack and defense. She stood strong to give feeders a target to aim for when the team was attacking and also made turnovers when Dragons were in possession.
The Welsh side looked more confident in the second half but could not find a way through the Rhinos defense to close down on the score line.
There is no rest for either team as Celtic Dragons go again tomorrow against Team Bath and Leeds Rhinos play Saracens Mavericks on Monday.
