Coaching points
- Your best short stick denies X, the spot they feed from. He never helps and never rotates; he stays between X and the ball.
- Four poles play five above GLE: one on the ball, the two beside him cover their men and the skip lane, and the farthest splits two.
- With X locked, the crease man is one of the two the farthest pole splits, so he has more to do.
- The cost (Kaley and Donovan): you play four on five above GLE. Push them to pass round the outside.
