Missed opportunities in the first half cost Wairarapa dearly in their Wellington regional super league netball match with Ulalei of Hutt Valley on Sunday.
Wairarapa came out of the first half with a 27-goal deficit but after being outscored by just the one goal in the third quarter and having a two-goal advantage in the fourth, there was more merit in their 76-50 defeat than the result would indicate.
Coach Dayle Clarkson said her team were guilty of not having their minds completely on the job in the first half and consequently had struggled to make the adjustments necessary to counter their opposition.
However, that situation changed for the better in the second spell.
