ROUND 6

Game 1 - Kambara Kings v Tanaranga Taipans

Chappy's early goals gave the Kambara Kings a strong start before Tatchell got two goals for the Tanaranga Taipans, with help from Ethan Keenan. Chappy got a few more goals before the subs came out as well. Reagan then got two goals in a row; then Tatchell got a goal and then Reagan came back for one more goal. Kambarra scored well thanks to Annie Kehoe while the Taipans chased a few more goals just to catch up, before more subs went out. After the subs, both teams scored goals before half time.

 

The second half started with a foul, after which Phoenix stole the ball from Liam and got a goal. Tatchell then scored twice in a row, followed by more subs and more goals before the game ended with Kambara Kings victorious.

 

Game 2 - Wandarra Warriors v Taltarni Thunder

Red won the tap, followed by a flurry of goals. Then it was the Corbet show, with brother Bowen and sister Addy combining to score multiple goals, as well as Mr McClure. Javiar Drinkwater also shot a goal before the subs came on. Krystal Fisher then came on for Wandarra, scoring a goal before with Riley Burrill and Ben Peacock made a series of passes, leading to a basket. After that Tristian had a bit of a fall, but kept going anyway. During the second half, Mr Green came on but was no match for Addy, who scored two goals in a row. Mr McClure also got a few goals early in the half. Then it was Burrill's turn to take the points, kicking the defence into overdrive. Both sides managed to score a few more points before the game ultimately ended in a draw. As a result, Kambara, who were in second position on the ladder, made it into the final based on their percentage and the points being split between Wandarra and Taltarni.
