EJFNC NETBALL JUNIORS

UNDER 15

FOR the second week in a row, a slow start cost the under 15s Magpies side dearly when final siren sounded at Memorial Oval, this time against St Mary's.

The visitors got off to a flying start, shooting 19 goals to Euroa's 10 in the opening term.

Defenders Maggie Pittock and Martha McKellar were handed a tall order in St Mary's in–form shooters while good work from Euroa goalies Ella Hill and Bronte Mustey kept the home side within striking distance.

Despite outscoring the opposition in the last quarter, the Magpies fell just short again– Euroa 45 to St Mary's 52.

UNDER 13

THE under 13s Magpies produced one of their best performances this season in a comprehensive victory over Seymour's St Mary's at home on Sunday.

Goal Defense Jade Raleigh made it very tough for the St Mary's attackers, dominating for four quarters in defense and through the centre.

At the other end, Goal Attack Lily Asquith had a day out, contributing the lion's share of the side's 35 goals.

Avie Hill was ever–reliable in the center and Willow Hamill impressed again on the wing.

The girls take on Broadford this Sunday in the first final.

Euroa 35 to St Mary's 11.
