D Graders do Grove proud

Ocean Grove is the Bellarine Netball League D Grade premiers.

The Grubbers trounced Torquay in a gripping grand final at Drysdale on Saturday.

With a slender one-goal lead at half time, Ocean Grove bounced out of the break to set up the victory with a nine goals to four third term.

Nine more goals in the final term gave the Grubbers a convincing 30 to 18 victory.

Kim Carroll was on fire in attack with 26 goals while Amina King was best on court courtesy of a superb game.

In E Grade, Anglesea proved too good for Ocean Grove.

The Seas were never really threatened after getting off to a good start. However, Grove fought the game out with an eight-goal final term and could be proud of their efforts for the day and the season.

Best players were Tracey Sacco, Brittney Gavin and Jamilla Smith.
