Match Reviews | Eaglehawk put Strathfieldsaye out of the A-grade netball premiership race as it won the Bendigo Bank Bendigo FNL’s elimination final on Sunday.

It was a closely-fought contest between the Hawks and Storm at Queen Elizabeth Oval.

The Kylie Piercy-coached Eaglehawk led 10-6 at quarter-time, but Storm surged back as it won the second term, 11-9.

Quarter three went the way of the Two Blues, 10-8.

The Hawks won the final term, 11-10, and the match, 40-35.

Eaglehawk will now meet Kangaroo Flat in next Sunday’s first semi-final.

The Jayden Cowling-coached Kangaroos will be keen to bounce back after a four-goal loss to Sandhurst in the qualifying final.

Sandhurst led 11-8 at quarter-time, but it was the Roos who bounced to a 21-19 lead by half-time.

In the third the Tamara Gilchrist-coached Dragons raised the pressure.

Sandhurst’s ability to force and capitalise on turnovers is a major strength of its game.
