Cleo Traumanis again showed her strength and composure in goal shooter against some very physical opposition.
Jemma Maloney played her first game after a few weeks out due to injury. She used her speed and agility in wing attack to get the ball on the circle edge, feeding the goalers beautifully.
Leilani Lightowler demonstrated her resilience and grit in the centre, running hard as always and giving it her all across the game.
