B grade: Wudinna United defeated Central Eyre 55-30.

The game started off with both teams fighting hard for every possession, Wudinna United had a very young team who were running and intercepting anything that came near them. Hannah Boylan in the goal ring for Wudinna United was moving and shooting exceptionally well. The Centrals defences, in Hayley May and Lisa Parsons were trying hard, but with the accurate shooting, there was nothing that they could do.

At half time both teams made changes, strong play from both teams down the court made it a good spectators game. Emma Frischke in centre was running and fighting for every possession that came her way, some silly mistakes in the attack end from Centrals made it hard for them to get back into the game in the third quarter.

The last quarter saw Centrals come out fighting and with some great passages of play down the court and some nice shooting from their goalies, in Maria Bruce and Beth Sampson. However, Wudinna had done the damage and had made it too hard for Centrals to come back. A great game from all the junior girls for Wudinna.

Best players: Central Eyre: Emma Frischke; Wudinna United: Hannah Boylan & Tamsin Scholz.
