Weekly Advertiser | There was heartbreak for Taylors Lake’s A Grade netball side on Saturday as Harrow-Balmoral came from five goals down at the final change to win a 37-36 thriller at Harrow Recreation Reserve.

The sides had been neck-and-neck for much of the afternoon before the visiting Lakers opened up a lead thanks to the accurate shooting of Tayla Eltze, who finished with a game-high 21 goals.

But on an overcast, blustery day when goals were hard to come by, it was Harrow-Balmoral coach Emily Langley who stood up in the last quarter, working hard to secure offensive rebounds and setting up goal-shooter Mia Rees.

At the other end of the court the Roos stonewalled the Lakers, with Megan Little and Sophie Antonello cutting off passes and restricting the visitors to six goals for the final term.

But Taylors Lake had a chance to salvage a draw when, with 10 seconds remaining, a shot by Eltze skidded off the back of the rim, allowing Harrow-Balmoral to run out the clock for its third win of the season.

It was the closest match of a round otherwise marked by one-sided blowouts, with Laharum, Rupanyup and Edenhope-Apsley each winning by more than 20 goals.
