Blighty’s A grade defence of Natalie Tremble, Meg Erickson, Lucy Simpson and Alana Coates worked tirelessly all game.
However, the team unfortunately couldn’t capitalise when they got the ball down to attack.

The girls are still working for a win.
Final score, Mathoura 38 to Blighty 27.

B grade had a disappointing loss.
Dora Miaoudis was best on court; she tried hard and never gave up for the whole game.
Anna Druitt and Sarah Cochrane also played well.
The Mathoura girls wanted the win more on the day. Blighty players need to all get to training this week. There is lots to work on if they are going to be up there with the top teams.
Final score, Mathoura 36 to Blighty 24.
Awards: Theodora Miaoudis, Anna Druitt and Sarah Cochrane.
