Jupiter 40, Vivary 39

DEFENDING champions Jupiter edged out Vivary in a nerve-racking contest at Taunton Vale.

Jupiter trailed by three goals after the first quarter, a gap which Vivary maintained in the second and third quarters.

However, Jupiter kept up the pressure and Vivary cracked in the final quarter.

Jupiter captain Amy Shaw created several openings for Paige Davey (GS), who shot impeccably; Lisa Durant (GK) and Imma Stone (GD) denied Vivary’s shooters space, while Baylea Charles (C) and Amy Fournier (WA) were dynamic in attack and Rachel Simpson (WD) stopped several Vivary attacks.
