A very chilly start for the girls at Casterton making it a very even match up for the first 2 quarters! Once the girls warmed a little, they had some excellent turn overs in defence and were able to move the ball swiftly through the mid court and were rewarded with some great movement and scoring opportunities in goals! Well done on another great win girls. Best players were Raven Johnson and Lia Joyce and the Subway award went toRaven.

U13As

42to13

Another great win for the girls. It was a very cold and foggy start for the girls and therefore took us a bit for the girls to wake up. Our full court defensive pressure was great to see and our new attacking combinations were working well to score most turnovers. Still lots to improve on at training but keep working hard girls! Best players were AmarlieThomsonandLucyCrowe.

U13Bs

What an amazing game we had against the Cats This group of girls are continuing to work hard and play as a team each and every week Each individual did something well and if something went wrong they worked hard to get the ball back. Defending end did an amazing job of keeping them to under 10 goals until the last quarter

Bek Millowick continued to score consistently, and Bella Pollifrone, Ella Wesoloski and Eva Bonde played an amazing defensive game. Well done ladies! Best players were Lisa GoodfellowandEvaBonde.

Awesome game with all players implementing a full 4 quarters of tight defence which resulted in a high volume of scoring opportunities. Lillie and Daisy working tirelessly to support Demi and Tab in the attack end. The goalie to goalie connection had the defenceunderpressureallday

Under 11s - The little Roo’s had one of our best games so far this season. Again we got off to a fantastic start but just couldn’t hold on. Our court structure was amazing and its was pleasing to see the skills we have been practicing at trainings are also being done on game day I am also very impressed with our footwork, our stepping in games has reduced significantly We just needed to look after our passestowardstheendofthegame.Welldone girls your improvement was amazing! Thank you to South for a really good game. Our best players went to Eliza and Ayla who both played agreatgameindefence.

Under 13Bs - This young West team had a couple of players missing so many of the girls playedoutofpositionagainstSouth.Thisdidn't stop their determination to win ball and contest. Hannah Jackson starting at Centre with Mackenzie Fisher at WA and Isobel RichardsandMollyThomasingoals.InDefence we had Aggie Thomas, Ruby Lamb and Chaneil Cowland.Bothteamsstruggledearlywiththeir foot work and the West girls worked hard to correct it. West struggled to convert in the goal circlebutwereupby3goalsatthequartertime break. South made some changes at quarter time and were able to peg back a couple of goals. West lead by 1 goal at half time. Both teams made multiple changes at the half time break. Hannah went to defence and Ruby went to centre. The 3rd quarter was a very even contest. With both teams score 3 goals apiece. Heading into the last quarter Chaneil came to the bench after jarring her ankle during the quarter This meant Ella McKenny, who was benching for the team, hit the court at Centre.

Hannah was back in her familiar position of GA and Molly was put into GD The westies started very strongly this quarter Ruby, Molly and Aggie were able to pull in some great intercepts With Ella's speed though the midcourt the team were able to attack swiftly Hannah's inclusion into goals seemed to spark Isobel and the 2 girls moved and shoot beautifully The West girls won the quarter 8 goals to 4. Winning the game 19-13. Best on Court was given to Hannah and Molly The game day vouchers went to Aggie and Ruby Thank you to Ella McKenny and Claire Hunter whobenchedforusthisweek.

15/Under Bs - Saturday saw our 15B team take the court against South Gambier for the first time and come away with a decent win on the board. The team was navigating some injuries andillnessbutshowedtheirdeterminationand grit and got it done. The mid court worked tirelessly in driving down the court and feeding the ball into the shooters who have clearly been doing some practice in their own time. Holly Jackson showed everyone exactly the
