Moama's A grade netball side would not let that happen on Saturday afternoon.
Coming up against a struggling Cobram side, the Mowers stayed at full throttle all afternoon in a 52-goal win in the Murray Netball League.
Mowers coach Jodie Lake said she couldn't have been happier with her side's performance.
“It was great to see them play a game like that,” she said.
“They stuck to their systems. Despite the heat they kept running and trying to play at their absolute best and that's what you want to see.
“Sometimes you can ease up your own pressure in a game like that where the opposition is struggling to get on the board, but I was really happy that we didn't.
“We used it as an opportunity to work through the systems and structures we have been working on in a game situation which will be a big benefit to us as the season goes on.”
Moama also used the game as an opportunity to give more of their players a run through the A grade team.
“We have really good depth in our club,” Lake said.
“And it's always good to have the chance to give them a shot on the court, so we were able to throw some fresh legs on at half-time.
“The heat was pretty strong so the whole side had to work hard, and I was really happy with how they took on the challenge and kept working as the game continued.
“There is still a lot of netball to be played this season, and we still have a lot of work to do as a side, so we will continue to take opportunities to work on our systems and get as many players prepared as possible when we can.”
