06/02/12…Chiltern fly on after win against Thame (Contributed)

IT was always going to be tough for Thame netballers, The Hurricanes against top of the league, Chiltern Flyers, but they gave it their best shot after a hard start in the first quarter.

Signs were looking ominous as Chiltern stormed into a 4-1 lead, but Thame held on in there. Things looked brighter in the second quarter as the team relaxed more and began to produce some fine passing moves. The quarter was a lot closer with Carol finishing off a nice move.

Thame again kept in touch with the lead in the third quarter but could never get too close to them. As soon as they looked like they were getting close, Chiltern sparked into gear to keep Thame at bay.

Thame still stood an outside chance going into the final quarter and things looked positive at 22-26. But this is as good as it got for Thame as one of the Flyers called for an unexpected time out to have a drink! This took the wind out of Thame?s attack as the game ended 22-29.
