**MATCH REPORT: Panthers Jaguars v Clan**
**Final Score: Panthers Jaguars 34–13 Clan**

Panthers Jaguars stepped onto court this weekend facing the familiar half‑term challenge of absences, illness, and a reduced squad. But if this match proved anything, it’s that this team’s strength lies far deeper than numbers on a team sheet. Jaguars delivered a composed, confident, and versatile performance to secure a dominant 34–13 win.

Despite limited options—and with Rose bravely taking the court before illness forced her to rest for the second half—the squad adapted brilliantly. Several players stepped seamlessly into the shooting circle, showing just how flexible and team‑minded this group has become. Every change was met with calm execution and collective support.

Jaguars established an early lead and never looked back. Their control across all four quarters earned them a full **5 points**, and the convincing scoreline also helped close the goal‑difference gap—making it a very productive morning in the league campaign.
