Every time Rumbalara started to get a run on, our defenders stepped up with strong pressure and some fantastic mid-court intercepts that helped close the gap.

It was a full-team effort, with everyone giving their all and playing some of their best netball so far.

The group is really starting to come together, learning each other’s styles and working as a team.

There’s a great sense of connection building on court, and lots to look forward to in the games ahead.
