The mid-court combination remained strong, consistently delivering the ball to the shooters. In defence, Clare and Lexi were relentless, stopping multiple Tatura attempts. The girls played a strong four quarters and finished with a convincing 21–3 win. Their growth was evident in the way they moved the ball down the court with speed and confidence.

From the outset, Emily, Darcy, and Georgia controlled the midcourt with excellent teamwork and well-timed intercepts. In defence, Maddie, Indie, and Lucy showed quick reflexes throughout the game, ensuring Bourchier Blitz remained scoreless. Meanwhile, Maggie, Kavya and Chaise led the charge in attack, netting an impressive 18 goals and rewarding the team’s hard work up the court. What stood out most was the girls’ humility and sportsmanship, as they encouraged their opponents to keep going and played with great spirit. Congratulations to the team on a strong effort. AWARD: Kavya UNDER 13 By KRISTY TRUSCOTT EUROA started strong in the first quarter, taking control from the first centre pass, with Rylee and Jess too good for the defenders in goals and Chloe and Piper proving strong in defence. With plenty of turnovers through the centre third, consistent backup from Crystal, and quick turnovers from Zoe and Lucy, Euroa maintained strong defensive pressure for the first half. In the third quarter, Goulburn Valley Grammar School lifted their intensity, but Euroa remained on top of their game. The fourth quarter followed a competitive third, with strong teamwork, full court coverage, and multiple turnovers creating numerous scoring opportunities for Euroa.

UNDER 11 WHITE By HAYLEY RAGLUS THIS week, Under 11 White faced Saint Onyx, a tall opposition which made for a challenging game. Bethal stepped up from the under 9s to play for us and was quick on her feet and eager for the ball. April and Olivia were strong in defence in the first half, keeping Saint Onyx’s scoring opportunities low, with April making several intercepts, turning the ball over, and Olivia quick to chase loose balls. Peyton did well in goals, with the tall Saint Onyx defenders making her job difficult. In the final quarter, Maya and Caysa worked hard in the mid court and Georgia and Joclyn worked well together in goals. SCOREBOARD: Saint Onyx 7 def Euroa 2 AWARD: April. UNDER 13 SECONDARY DIVISION ONE EUROA delivered a commanding performance against the Shepparton Swans, taking home a 24-point win. It was a big boost having Tully back and her ability to get free gave extra attacking options. In goals, Evie and Ava combined beautifully, reading each other well and finishing with confidence. Molly and Tully were calm and composed feeding into the circle, and in defence Isabel, Isla, and Leila brought relentless pressure. Zara was rock solid in wing defence. This was a genuine team effort with every player contributing and looking well connected and confident. Evie has stepped up in various roles over the past few weeks, always giving 100 per cent.
