What a great game the Lions played this week. Every single player had a role to play and played it well. Grace was dynamite all over the court with strong drives and smart play. Lily and Lara are proving to be a strong force in defence, with many intercepts.
Hollie Mac stepped up from B Grade and shot with accuracy and made a great duo with Steph. The girls bought their A game from start to finish and it was a delight to watch.

A great game against Finley. The Lions defence worked hard right up to the end with lots of turnovers.
The C Res welcomed Mikayla back from injury and she played a great game in WD.

It was fantastic to watch the girls this week, bringing to the court plays that they have been working on at training.
A solid 4 quarter performance for a fun-loving team. Hannah Riches provided strong drives all day.
Reese Sanderson was strong in defence whilst Milla Fletcher showed great leadership. A tough game for the girls but they never gave up.

A fantastic effort from all of the girls this week to come away with the win against a strong Finley side. Charlotte was amazing in attack, also taking numerous defensive intercepts. Ruby’s hands over pressure for all 4 quarters was a huge part of the defence. Well done girls on a great team effort.
