Cumberland storm to a strong win in Premier!

The Cumberland Prem team travelled to Birmingham on Sunday to take on Elmdon.
Cumberland went out focussed and strong and took a 17-5 lead in the first quarter. The defence was tight, with many turnovers, finished off by smart attacking and sharp shooting.
Elmdon fought hard and came back to within 2 in the final quarter, but a very strong defensive contribution from Lois Tucker and Christina Fitzgerald in the mid court, put pressure on the Elmdon attack and allowed the Cumberland defensive pairing of Natalie Cowie and Polini Langi to capitalise. Cumberland finished the final 10 minutes strongly with WA Andy Johnson putting some lovely feeds into the circle. This, combined with the slick interchange between GA Di Antonovich and GS Kirsty Smith allowed Cumberland to streak out to a 13 goal win. A great team effort! Final score was 55 - 42 to Cumberland.
