NETBALL

A Grade

Mulwala 44 def Echuca United 43.

It was a very level game and the girls fought hard for the win. The defensive pressure all over the court was fantastic. Lara worked hard in defense and caused many turnovers with her big hands over the ball. Hollie shot well and shot the winning goal with only seconds to spare.

Shanna was strong through the midcourt and fed perfectly to the goalers. The next two games are going to be tough but the girls are ready and firing.

Awards: Seeliger Real Estate - Hollie McNamara, Aerial Muscle Balance - Lara Langford and Lake Mulwala Bakery - Shanna Morris.

B Grade

Mulwala 34 def Echuca United 24.

It was a wet weather game which the girls weren’t used to, which changed the usual play. The girls adapted well with great defense from Leah, Freya, Charli and Mikayla.

Nat controlled the attacking end well feeding the ball well into Emma Jane and Tayla. The girls played well as a team and came out with a win.

C Res

Mulwala 19 def by Echuca United 58.

C Res all knew it was going to be a hard game and it definitely was. Everyone put in 100% effort across the whole court. The weather was a big challenge - slippery and sliding across the court which made it very hard to stop. Very proud of the team not giving up.

Awards: Wingates - Marni Hoskings, Aerial Muscle Balance - Maddie Devoy and Lake Mulwala Bakery - Lauren Crombie.

Under 17s

Mulwala 26 def by Echuca United 28.

Mulwala 17’s came out fighting in the 1st quarter with great defensive pressure and turnovers.

Polly, Jess and Paige starred in goals with the front position gaining multiple goals. The whole team gave 100% and in a tight last quarter went down by two. Fantastic game!

Awards: Lake Mulwala Bakery - Polly McRae and Thursday night dinner - Reese Sanderson.

Under 15s

Mulwala 20 def by Echuca United 33.

The Lions came out strong and worked hard the whole game. Jemma and Myley were outstanding, working in goals, moving well and scoring.

Bonnie and Ruby S worked well in mid court, keeping the ball moving. Once again Milla and Ruby T were dynamite in defense making their opponents earn each goal.

Last weekend was an amazing team effort and each girl should be very proud. A loss of only 13 goals to a top four team is a great effort.

Awards: Lake Mulwala Bakery - Jemma Riches, South of the Border - Bonnie Barker and Thursday night dinner - Myley McGlynn.

The girls had a great game this week. They each had an opportunity to play in a variety of positions and were able to try out new team plays. Lots of success in both the defense and attack. Terrific girls!
