SHARKS, KANGAROOS REMAIN UNDEFEATED

Two teams remain undefeated in Victoria University WRFL Netball Division 1 after Round 2.

Point Cook Centrals 1 raced out to a strong lead, scoring 27 goals to North Sunshine’s nine to half-time.

Mid-court player Olivia Burrow was one of the best players for the Sharks. She fed the ball into the shooters extremely well.

It was a consistent effort across four quarters that secured victory for Sunshine 1. Defender Natalie Versher was among the best on court. Roi Naicovi was also outstanding. She played the first half in the Goal Keeper position before moving into Goal Shooter.

In other Round 2 results, Point Cook Red also defeated Point Cook Centrals 2 by six goals.

In Division 2, Spotswood Green scored a hard-fought win over Manor Lakes, who were playing their first game of the season after having the bye in Round 1.

The final score was 38 to 34.

Manor Lakes had more shots on goal in the final quarter, but couldn’t overcome Spotswood Green.
