Match Reviews | Elmore has again ruled the court for the second time in three years after it won the Bendigo Bank Heathcote DFNL’s A-grade netball grand final in Huntly on Saturday.

The Bloods took on Colbinabbin at Strauch Reserve.

It was the Jen McIntyre-coached Colbinabbin which started well to lead 19-14 at quarter-time.

Elmore hit back to win the second quarter, 17-12, and in the process drew level by the long break.

Quarter three also went the way of the Bloods, 18-15.

A tough campaign for Colbinabbin which began with a one-goal loss to Elmore in the qualifying final and was followed by a four-goal victory against White Hills in the second semi-final started to show in the last.

The Grasshoppers kept working hard, but Elmore’s slick passing through mid-court and brilliance of co-coach Gabe Richards and Abbey Hromenko in attack could not be stopped.

Elmore won the final term, 22-14, to complete a 71-60 victory.

Best on court honours went to Gabe Richards who again teamed with Allira Holmes to coach the Bloods to a second premiership in three seasons and cap the club’s 150th year.
