It’s always a pleasure to play Finley, especially whilst enjoying the buzz around the club on Saturday.
Our Rams enjoyed a comfortable win and clocked up their 500th goal for the season in the first quarter.
Min Seignior was an absolute force in the midcourt and just refuses to tire.
The same can be said for Rhiannan Maxwell who is having an absolute stellar year.
Annie Harvey was aerial and versatile combining with A-grade debutant Tiarna Wallinger to create a dynamic defensive combination.

It was another great game by every player against Finley.
The girls are getting stronger and stronger each week, and are all working as a team.
Molly Bradley was reliable through the midcourt. She had great drives and front cuts and is always an option bringing the ball down the court. She always had hand over pressure in defence.
Sophie Tilders and Phoebe Newman had a really strong combination in the shooting circle, they backed each other up and always made sure there was an option in front.
The girls both shot accurately, as always, meaning we could build a strong lead.

Last time we went head-to-head with the Cats it was a close call, and this game was no different.
The Rams were able to nudge ahead for most of the game and, through composure and teamwork, found themselves ahead at the final whistle.
Bella Muldoon shut down her opponent, gained possession of the ball and continues to impress.
Olivia Jeffrey utilised her time on the court to have an impact on the game, creating space and opportunities.
Lexi Butcher gave 100 per cent, even when asked to play out of her preferred position which showed her impressive versatility.

Under-11s: Not Scored.
After a tough match last week, the girls bounced back combining well as a team to get the ball down the court.
Sophie Bliss showed confidence in the ring shooting with accuracy and moving well to gain front position.
Chloe Marshall showed signs of following in her sister’s footsteps, reading the play beautifully and displaying strong defensive moves all over the court.
Aysha Bartlett moved the ball well feeding into the shooters with precision.
A great team effort with everyone playing their part.
