After a victory against Riverside and an unfortunate loss from the Linden match, the pressure was on for Dominoes to take a win from their third Prem 3 match of the season. Although the players had travelled the long journey to Hertford just that morning, as soon as the Dominoes Squad stepped on court to warm up, they were high in spirit and looking sharp. The Dominoes’ Coach, Sarah Tomlinson, shared the starting 7 with the squad:
 
GS- Kim Higham
GA- Courtney Savage
WA- Rachel Towell
C- Sam Thomas
WD- Jemma Smith
GD- Rebecca Airey
GK- Charlotte Fairclough

The last 10+ weeks had been leading up to this day; our first match of the 2015/16 season. We faced the newly promoted Riverside in the England Netball Premier League 3 league. After a hectic last minute change to the venue both squads arrived for an 11am warm up, with the match start at 11.30am.
 
As the spectators started filling the sidelines, there were a lot of nerves about the squad. With two of our squad members returning from having babies last season and 3 returning from serious injuries, we needed to focus and look after each other on court.  Coach Sarah Tomlinson provided some last minute encouragement and the starting seven was chosen:

GS – Rosie Bailey
GA – Hannah Alexander
WA – Rachel Towell
C – Sam Thomas
WD – Siobhán Gibbons
GD – Rebekah Airey
GK – Charlotte Fairclough
