Goorambat reserves started their game against North Wangaratta well, keeping them to just two goals in the first quarter with some good football, but were not able to hit the score board themselves.

The B grade Bats went out strong in the first quarter holding a 16-goal lead. Grace Handley worked really hard in the mid court with strong drives and great offerings into the ring. Tiffany Kirkpatrick also working the ball hard into the shooters.

At half time the bats still led North Wang by 18 goals, with Sophie Hammond and Aneiki Pierce complimening each other in goal shooter and goal attack, working hard for accuracy.

Goorambat 13 def by North Wangaratta 51

Heading into the last round of the season the girls went in pumped and keen to take the court, coming out strong with some great movement. It was a well matched game for the young girls.

North Wang shooters shot well. Meika Smith played out of position and showed her skills in wing attack, feeding well to our strong handed shooters and giving the team the steadiness. Estelle Doig like always created some beautiful movement and showed us all that her understanding of the game is there.

Eliza Keen played a very determined defensive game with half a dozen intercepts for the game. The girls have really showed their resilience this year. They should all be proud of themselves. All of them have improved so much individually and it is starting to show.

Let’s stick together as a team girls so that the learning can continue.

Best: Meika Smith (Hume Solar Canteen Award), Estelle Doig (Spot 4 Ice Cream Award), Eliza Keen (Spot 4 Ice Cream Award)
