Match Previews | In the match of the Round, Cobden were victorious over ladder leaders South Warrnambool.
The Bombers had to find something extra after getting off to a slow start but they had a great 2nd and 4th quarters and eventually defeated the Roosters by 6 – 48 to 42. Emily Finch, scoring 39 goals, had an outstanding game in attack for her team and Hollie Phillips scored well for South with 25 goals.
Warrnambool were well prepared for their clash against North Warrnambool and took an 8 goal margin into the first break. The Eagles made some changes and fought back to be within 2 goals by half time but inaccuracy cost the Eagles in the 2nd half and the Blues went on to win 52 to 42. Portland found a way to overcome a determined Port Fairy winning 39 to 34. Hamilton Kangaroos had a comfortable win over Camperdown, downing the Magpies 65 to 29.
Hayley Sherlock was best for the Kangaroos and Elsie Sinnott tried hard for the Magpies. The young Magpies team have improved significantly throughout the Season and I’m sure we’ll see the benefits of their work in the coming years.
