A Grade (70 defeated Drysdale 28)
In what was a must-win match for the A Graders, the girls were able to stand up to the challenge with a fine display of skills from all players.

Best: Lucy Teague-Neeld, Rebecca Scott, Claudia Britt
B Grade (62 defeated Drysdale 31)
A great team effort for the girls who maintained good form throughout the match despite having an easy lead. It didn’t take long for Izzy Hackett to get an intercept on the board and an impressive performance from Emily Moroney proved exactly why everyone’s been so keen to have her back.
Best: Izzy Hackett, Emily Moroney, Kylie Lane
C Grade (23 defeated by Drysdale 29)
