Weekly Advertiser | Noradjuha-Quantong has given itself an outside chance of claiming the Horsham District A Grade netball minor premiership after a stunning 10-goal win against Edenhope-Apsley at the weekend.

The two teams had appeared as evenly matched as possible entering round 15, separated by only one win and having drawn their previous encounter in round four.

But the Bombers got an early jump on the Saints, leading by six goals at quarter time and 10 by the main break.

While Edenhope-Apsley attempted to mount a second-half comeback – outscoring the Bombers 12-8 in the third quarter to trim the deficit – they left themselves too much to do in an eventual 40-30 loss.

Noradjuha-Quantong boasts the second-best scoring defence in the league, and showed why at the weekend as Leah Mirtschin and Rachel Leader contained the high-scoring Saints duo of Dee Dee Lambert and coach Lavinia Fox.

At the other end of the court Danielle Grindlay and Olivia Spence each spent a half playing on Bomber goalie Shannon Couch, but struggled to find an answer for Couch’s height under the ring.

The win all but confirmed a top-two finish for the Bombers, who remain a mathematical chance to claim top spot in the seemingly unlikely event of a Laharum loss in its last two games.
