Unfortunately, another slow start to the game saw our young Roo girls trail in the first quarter 9 to 3.
The next two quarters were an uphill battle as the young Roos struggled to find their rhythm ending the third 28 to 12.
Despite the gap in the scoreboard the girls continued to work hard as a team and adjusted well to a number of changes in the last quarter in which they outscored their opponents.
Coach Noel was proud of the positive mindset in the last quarter from the whole playing group and thanked Evie Lavis for seamlessly helping out on the night.
