15/Under As - First quarter wasn’t a great start tothegamewewereallabitlost.Goalieshadit tough against Gracie Dalton but they found their feet and off they went. A change in the middle 1/2 time helped the mid court moving LaratoCandEllatoWA. MaggyplayedWDand nevergaveupwithhercontesting.Mikaylaand Alice worked well again in defence.

17/Under - Another win on the board for the Under 17’s girls We started strong with pressure all over the court. Imogen and Lucy started in the goals with both girls shooting well, with support around the circle from Halle and Charlotte Charlotte maintained her intensity through all 4 quarters in the Centre position, her fitness gave us the advantage. Halle’s at WA had a great game, her passes into the goalies was fast keeping the WD for South onhertoes.

I was very impressed with Alex in our WD position, she attacked every ball that came her way, getting plenty of interceptions and touchesthroughoutthegame. Our defence duo in Macy and Ellie are getting stronger every game. Ellie’s ability to read the ball and Macy’s height made it hard for the South goalies and they put the pressure on all game. Aleisha slotted into the GA spot after half time carrying on where Lucy left off She worked well with Immy extending our lead. At thefinalwhistlethescorewasWest56toSouth 31. Well done once again to all my girls. Game day awards – Imogen McGregor and Macy Pearson.

C Grade - A tough game for the girls, walking away with our first loss of the season, West 35 to South 56 A well fought out game but unfortunately South was the stronger team for theday

New things to work on before we face the Millicent saints and good things to highlight andexpandon.Gamedayvoucherstoourfirstyear senior players Zarah Sudgen and Annabel Judd.

B Grade - We started the game quite strong with some great full court pressure. The whole quarteritwasgoalforgoalandwewereevenat half time. In the second quarter we saw a defendercomeoffwithaninjurywhichsawthe teamalittleunsettledwhichresultedintheball being rushed down the court and passes not making their target and that saw South capitalised and get out to a 12 goal lead at half time. With positional changes at half time saw the shift in game and we were playing goal for goalagainandweclawedbackthescorelineto be down by 10 goals. The last quarter we saw a lot of fight and determination from the girls and they all gave their best but South came away with the went 41 – 51. Game day awards wenttoBrookeandKristy
