Mulwala netball

It was a steady start for the A Grade girls. With scores even at half time, the Lions fought hard and came out with a strong 20 goal win.

Lara played a fantastic game in defence, Hollie shot well over the four quarters and Tayce (the young lion) played hard and caused many turn overs.

B Grade

Mulwala 46 defeated Barooga 35.

The girls were in for a tough match against Barooga. The first quarter was a slow start by the Lions girls. The second quarter was much better with the strong defensive pressure from Leah, Freya and Mikayla and a chance in goals with Emma-Jane.

This is what they needed before commencing the second half superbly. They found space, drove with strong leads, kept up the defensive pressure and attacked and fought hard until the final whistle coming out on top.

It was a lovely whole team effort.

Milla and Ruby T were amazing in defence, they made the shooters earn each goal.

Jemma was moving well in goals. Abbi again showed her versatility and worked hard all game.
