A-grade: Deni Rams 43 def by Mulwala 77.

Our first quarter was strong, and we came out with plenty of energy and intent.

However, Mulwala made some changes at the break and from there they never looked back, taking control of the game and showing why they are the best outfit we’ve come up against this season.

We wish Mulwala all the best as they head into finals and congratulate them on a terrific performance.

For us, the game provided a fantastic opportunity to give plenty of our juniors valuable senior netball experience.

They can take a lot from the opportunity and will be better prepared as they make the move into senior netball themselves next season.

Awards: Makayla Finn, Amelia Seignior, Ava Marshall.

B-grade: Deni Rams 33 def by Mulwala 49.

The girls battled hard all day and showed plenty of determination, but ultimately we were no match for a slick Mulwala outfit.

There were plenty of positives to take from the contest, with the girls continuing to work hard right through to the final whistle.

As the season draws to an end, our focus now turns to our goals for the remainder of the year to finish our time together strongly and continuing to represent our club with respect, pride and commitment.

Awards: Mia Parks, Hannah McBurnie, Shontai O’Callaghan.

C-grade: Deni Rams 37 def by Mulwala 58.

Rams C-grade put up a fight on Saturday against third placed Mulwala.

Our defensive unit of Maggie McCalman and Jade Hussey again proved a headache for the Mulwala goalers, the girls able to turn over numerous balls and pull in plenty of rebounds.

Transition through the midcourt was strengthened by the run of Macy Butcher and Georgie McCalman.

The girls were within 11 goals at three quarter time but failed to finish off strong enough in the last to take out a win.

As always, a consistent effort by our girls.

Awards: Maggie McCalman, Jade Hussey, Georgie McCalman.

C-reserve: Deni Rams 25 def by Mulwala 47.

C-reserve went down -47 to Mulwala, but it was a tale of two halves.

The girls kept the score nice and close in the first half before Mulwala pulled away in the second.

With a few players away, we called in some fresh legs from under-15s, with Eva Maher stepping up and putting in a fantastic performance.

She positioned herself well and proved a great link through the midcourt, helping transition the ball into attack.

Temeka Macdonald had a great game at both ends, showing plenty of composure in the shooting circle before switching to GK and picking up some great intercepts and rebounds.

Lucy Dudley was again willing to mix things up, taking on GA and bringing plenty of speed and movement into the circle.

Awards: Temeka Macdonald, Eva Maher, Lucy Dudley.

Under-17s: Deni Rams 45 def Mulwala 41.

The Rams under-17s were put through their paces on Saturday by a relentless Mulwala side.

In a sixth versus seventh match up, the Rams had to stay focused and driven until the final whistle.

Alice Circuitt worked tirelessly in defence alongside Ava Marshall and Hannah McBurnie.

Our defenders kept fighting for turnovers despite the phenomenal accuracy of the Mulwala goalers.

Brydey Maher was sensational on the defensive wing, applying ongoing pressure throughout the match.

Sienna Elphick, Bella Hillier and Georgia Henderson found patience in attack which allowed some easier transitions into our goalers.

Phoebe Newman and Zoe Circuitt were in season best form, the combination of the two strengthening each week.

A hard fought win by the girls, well done.

Awards: Alice Circuitt, Phoebe Newman, Bella Hillier.

Under-15s: Deni Rams 24 def by Mulwala 30.

Our under-15s faced a strong Mulwala side in their final home game of the season, with a season of commitment to twice-weekly training on full display.

The girls came out firing, leading at the first break and holding the scores level at half-time before settling in for a tight finish.

Stella Chadderton was outstanding at WA, delivering accurate feeds into our goalies and working tirelessly all game in what was arguably her best performance of the season.

Liv Jeffery was strong at GA, directing the mid and goal ends beautifully and combining brilliantly with Killarni Macdonald.

Aleaha Leetham continued to show an impressive work rate through WD, working tirelessly across the midcourt and never giving up on a contest.

Every one of the 10 girls who took the court gave 110 per cent, and that was the biggest goal for the day.

A few errors late in the game allowed Mulwala to finish strongly and take the win.

A fantastic effort from the girls to finish our home game with plenty of heart, determination and commitment.

Harriet Maher was outstanding in goals, shooting with incredible accuracy and positioning herself beautifully.

Chloe Marshall was a shooter’s nightmare, applying relentless pressure and getting plenty of hands to the ball when needed.
