Saturday comp:

The girls played a fantastic game and continue to dominate the competition with strong defence and accurate shooting. Georgie was a standout in GD, intercepting numerous passes with her lovely long reach and keen eye on the play. Ellie and Eliza made an unbeatable team in the goal circle with tight passing and on point shooting. Olive played in GA in the final half and made some very specky goals indeed! Harper had her eye on available players and made some fantastic long and precise passes to keep the ball moving through the centre.

Coming up against St Therese’s, the Grade 5 team played well against a well drilled team. Lara Gahan played her best game for the season in WA. Evie Kelly and Delilah Mertens also made strong contributions

Grade 3 - Coaches Belinda Mertens & Jackie Geary.

The girls played very well against strong opposition in South Bendigo. Flo Martin was a standout player in defence, intercepting the ball and turning play.

G4 – Green Team

Strong on court defence from the girls this week with many amazing intercepts, which provided many opportunities for the team to score. All the girls played their role superbly – a great team effort indeed.

G4 – Teal Team

The Teal team displayed some great team work in patches against a strong St Therese’s team. The girls worked hard to get front position and when we did our full court play was fantastic. Well done Teal team.
