Weekly Advertiser | The Horsham District A Grade netball finals sides are set, as Noradjuha-Quantong punched its ticket to the post-season with a win over reigning premier Laharum at the weekend.

The Bombers’ 46-31 win over the Demons – combined with Natimuk United’s 60-35 loss to Edenhope-Apsley – ensured they will finish in fifth place, with their round 18 opponent, Kalkee, a likely match-up in an elimination final the following week.

Noradjuha-Quantong controlled Saturday’s match against Laharum from the outset, winning every quarter.

Both teams were below full strength, with the Demons missing goal attack Maddie Iredell and coach Rebecca McIntyre, while Ash Morrish was absent from the Bombers’ line-up.

Noradjuha-Quantong co-coach Taylor Shelley said it had been one of her team’s best performances of recent weeks.

“We take a lot of positives out of that match. We had a really strong connection all down the court from defence to attack,” she said.

“We were missing a couple of players too, so they were undermanned but so were we, and we take a bit of pride in that as well.

“Our goalies really performed on the weekend and we were able to use our height with Shannon Couch and Taya Quick down at the goal end, combining Taya’s accuracy and Shannon’s ability to rebound.
