A grade
Roos 52 defeat Magpies 38
It’s always a great game coming up against the Wangaratta Magpies. Grace Senior was once again very confident with her shots, which proved pivotal in the first half of the game.
The Roos attack end was pressured, however the girls fought through the mess.
Leading by only three goals at half-time, the Roos turned up the heat buoyed by great defensive work. The defence end worked tirelessly as a unit and reaped the benefits in the second half of the game.
Jen Barrett and Sophie also teamed well to turn the ball over in the ring, while Emily Laracy and Brooke Bice were wonderful with their defensive pressure on the centre pass. In the third quarter, the girls moved the ball with pace and execution and finished the game off with a solid win. A really great win for the girls.

Roos 49 defeated Wang 42
With only 7 players available this week the girls were up for the challenge against Wang.
The Roos attack were formidable in moving the ball quickly but with patience. The defence end held strong with Remy doing a wonderful job out of position in GD. It was an even score line going onto the final quarter, but the girls found a fifth gear and went on to win their best game for the season. Very proud coaches!
