The team worked hard from the first whistle but struggled to find rhythm with a reshuffled lineup.
Yarrawonga’s consistent pressure saw them extend their lead each quarter by three goals, with the Roos unable to claw it back.
Despite the loss, there were promising performances. Emily was dominant in the final quarter stepping into goal keeper, causing turnovers and lifting the defensive intensity.
Lou was accurate in goals, finishing with 31 goals at 82 per cent.
Tori Sampson and Kelsea Bullivant stepped up from B Grade to fill the centre-court positions, showing great composure and matching the speed of A Grade.

Coming up against the top-of-the-ladder Yarrawonga side, Corowa Rutherglen’s B Grade girls knew they were in for a challenge.
With Tori Sampson stepping up to A Grade and Kelsea Bullivant having already played a half, the team was left short in the middle and had to dig deep.
Despite being down a few goals each quarter, the Roos never stopped fighting. The defensive trio of Audrey Hogan, Courtney Haigh, and Remy Longmire worked tirelessly to disrupt Yarra’s attack.
Audrey and Courtney put the pressure on the Pigeons’ shooters, forcing errors and creating key turnovers. Courtney, as always, proved a constant headache for the opposition circle.
