Sarah Hargreaves Commands her area during GB'swin over Turkey. AFTER watching his side secure a big win over Turkey Under-21s in their opening match of the Women’s Four Nations Tournament in Sheffield, head coach Jesper Holmris was full of praise.
Despite a low score average of 42 per cent and 30 missed shots, the tough GB defence meant they comfortably won their opening match.
“We played very well,” he said. “But we have to control things more. The defence was fantastic - we were very organised and aggressive - and we were willing to go for the fast break, which was great.
“And we didn’t make so many mistakes on those breaks, it was just that we didn’t score which happens sometimes. It was a very good start for us, and we have to be glad of the victory.”
While tough defence was key to the victory, goalkeeper Sarah Hargreaves played her part in the win with some superb instinctive saves.
“I didn’t feel good at the start, but the girls helped me to pick myself up,” she said afterwards. “The defence was really good which made it easier for me, but to be honest everybody was so up for it.”
