“We kept with each other, they got a good start but only managed to maintain that lead,” Sam said.
“We didn’t let them run away any more. It was quite a good game of netball throughout, pretty consistent by both sides throughout.
“We haven’t won a lot of games. We have a very young group of players who have really just come together this year.
“I was really happy with that result, because we’ve certainly improved over the year. Nilma Darnum would have beaten us by a lot more in the first round, but the girls have come out and not created a lot of errors while forcing errors on the other side

“There were only a couple of missed plays we did, and that makes all the difference. It’s a really positive outcome for us.”
Buln Buln will face Catani and Nilma Darnum will take on Poowong this weekend.

- Nyora (44) def Lang Lang (20) at Lang Lang;
