Wairarapa can take confidence from their 65-42 loss to PIC 2 in their regional super league netball match played at the Te Rauparaha Arena in Porirua last Thursday night.
Coach Dayle Clarkson was pleased with the performance of her mainly young charges against a more seasoned and competition-hardened PIC combination.
"We knew we had to bring more depth and strategy to our game so at training we had focused on new game plans and to the credit of the girls they brought their learning to the court," Clarkson said.
Wairarapa made a strong start, breaking PIC's centre pass on several occasions, and they were actually in front at the end of the first quarter. However, PIC settled into their work with more purpose in the second quarter and by halftime had moved out to a 17-goal advantage.
