Drouin take four wins

Drouin put four wins on the board with strong, consistent on-court efforts at home against Sale on Saturday.
A grade: Drouin 64 defeated Sale 42
Drouin's defensive work was outstanding over the four quarters, never allowing Sale to have easy access to the post.
Circle defenders Eb Mumford and Lucy McKellar are becoming a formidable defensive unit, applying relentless pressure to their opponents.
However, Drouin's goals from gains statistic would have been lower than the high standard expected from this highly talented and versatile team.
No doubt, they will address this in the lead up to the clash against reigning premiers Moe in round five.
Award winners: Lucy McKellar and Ebony Mumford
B grade: Drouin 71 defeated Sale 34
A true team performance across the board with every player putting their best foot forward and playing with confidence.
Ruby Pratt led the charge in the midcourt, showing flair with her feeds and sneaking a couple of crafty intercepts when moving back into wing defence.
Fiona Nalder and Cleo Traumanis once again showed incredible athleticism in the goal ring. Jas Gallasch and Alice McKellar combined well to shut down the opposition midcourt and then transitioned into attack, driving hard out of defence.
The combination of Leilani Lightowler and Chelsea deRiter in the defensive circle were unstoppable.
Award winners: Ruby Pratt and Fiona Nalder
C grade: Drouin 52 defeated Sale 26
It was a consistent four quarter effort and another strong performance. The defensive end was once again a highlight, with Jess Murray outstanding through her leadership and ability to drive the ball down the court.
Miley Kelly was a standout in wing defence, maintaining strong defensive pressure and transitioning seamlessly when moved into centre. In attack, the goalers worked cohesively, with junior Amber Hammond supported well by the experience of Abbey Tyrell and Tess Mapleson.
