A GRADE
The rain worked in our favour today against Murrabit, and the girls rose to the challenge!
We played a strong, controlled game holding with Murrabit for the first two quarters, only trailing by 3 goals at half-time.
In the third, we let it slip to 8 goals, dropped off in the last quarter.
Lots of positives to take away, if we bring that first-half intensity for four quarters, we’re right in it next week!
Awards:
Imogen Broad – Another solid game from Imo! Consistent, strong, and giving 100% for the entire match.

Kiara Robins – Stepped up from B Grade to help out and smashed it! She ran her heart out, stayed composed, and applied great pressure all game.  (Kimmy’s Cafe & Allure Glamour)





B GRADE
The girls came out firing, taking a 2-goal lead at the end of the first quarter. The rain made conditions challenging and we struggled to keep our flow. They never dropped their heads, supported each other, and fought hard right until the final whistle.
Awards:
Abbey Wishart - (U14’s) – (WA) -  Avenue Health Award.
Summer Starr (U17’s) – (GA) - Drink Cooler.
A massive THANK YOU to both girls for giving 110%— I wouldn’t expect anything less!
Playing after two other games and still showing that level of effort is incredible. Your skill, determination, confidence, and grit are going to take you so far in this game. Keep up the amazing work!
*Shout out to Jess Minogue for a cracker game in goal defense. She read the play beautifully, pulling off clean intercepts and consistently putting pressure on the opposition. Her energy and determination made a real difference on the court.





Bres
After warming into the game in the first quarter, the girls settled into their game. They played a consistent, strong game throughout and finished off with an easy win. Sam was not only getting goals and setting up plays in the ring but applied that defence pressure down the court that got her a few intercepts. Both her and Alisha made great space and were options for passes through the mid court. Alisha played a great defence and applied solid one on one pressure that made it hard for the opposition's goalies.

C GRADE
The girls toughed out a cold, rainy game today to get another win on the board. We had juniors helping us out this week in Georgie, Miley and Flick who jumped in and did a fantastic job.
Rhian played a consistent game in WD, keeping on her player, getting multiple intercepts and being a key player bringing the ball to our attack end. Lucy the ever-dependable GK, making use of those long arms and stopping a lot of those passes into the ring and getting multiple rebounds

UNDER17

It was a windy and wet day, but even in tough conditions the girls gave their all.
Against a tough team our girls aimed to keep a positive mindset, whilst trying their hardest for all 4 quarters, showing some good plays and skills.
The awards went to Mackenna for her terrific defensive pressure, working hard to mark her player, playing a crucial role in our wider defensive efforts. Then Georgie for her consistent goaling game, her movements, space and ability to get free in the ring were outstanding. Special mention also to the U14s girls who stepped up, who continually give us their all when needed. 


NO UNDER14 NOTES
