SANDHURST:
Brooke Bolton, Keely McDonald, Darcey Cole

MATCH REPORT:
Kangaroo Flat got out to a good lead early in the match to set up a match winning margin that was hard to break. The Flat's defensive unit of Bronte Deary and Monica Wellington made it difficult for Sandhurst to move the ball into the goal circle and when rebounds were on offer, took possession.

Flat's Rachel Mackenzie (22 goals) was a focal point in and out of the goal circle with her opponent, Brooke Bolton, ensure each ball was contested.

Seven goals down at quarter time, Sandhurst was forced to make changes and Keely McDonald moved from goal keeper to goal shooter and then goal attack and was major influence on her team bringing the margin at three quarter time back to 3 goals.

Kangaroo Flat held strong and with accuracy in the goal circle were 7 goal winners.
