D-GRADE
• Sadly this wasn’t the result we were wanting or expecting. It was a tough game from the start with a lot being given away on the court.
The girls worked incredibly well throughout the mid-court with Sarah Jensen and Jayde Stoneman bringing the ball down onto the ring. Our little goalers works tirelessly to find room to shoot over some long defensive arms. Danielle Moore and Lisa Sazonov took control and some thumping’s in the defensive end but maintained composure to bring the ball down smoothly.
Looking to reset after Round 3 and move forward ready for next week. This new team has some rising young guns and some mature combinations that will only improve with more opportunities.
Best: Errin White.

• A competitive and fast paced game from the first whistle until that siren sounded to say we were taking the four points.
Amanda Pascoe and Patricia Turner picked off Gembrook’s feeds left, right and centre.
The chase in these girls even saw Moo go down with her knee after giving it her all in a loose ball chase.
Olivia Turner-Dickason showed leadership on the court with adjusting to her calls and encouraging her players as well as showing Gembrook how a goalers should be shooting. Our wings Mykaela Smith and Hayley Bawden directed play with precise transitioning from our defence.
This close game just showed that our girls are keen to hold onto the flag and be final contenders in September.
Best : Olivia Turner-Dickason.

B-Grade 44-36, Won

B-GRADE
• I can confidently say that this young gun team is only going to improve each week. Their dedication to training and the 110 per cent effort they put into game day is really showing.
Stacey Norbury started the game as strong as she finished with turn overs, intercepts, deflects and drives onto our ring, she controlled the attacking end.
Lauren Watson and Kylie Rabjones had some beautiful shots at goals and gave it their all and rotated with each other in the ring with pure style.
Renee Wilson had some fantastic turnovers as she went out on the hunt against Gembrook which seemed to rattle their confidence which allowed us to creep ahead.
Thankyou to Patty and Taryn Jennings for filling in for the girls who were away groovin.
Best : Stacey Norbury.
Coaches: Renee Wilson.

A-GRADE
• An old face from last season played her first game on Saturday and she came straight back in to own her defence circle, welcome back Alice Waack.
Some beautiful passages of play saw the Waack sisters dominate throughout the court. The attacking end for Lakers had direct leads as we demanded that ball on the ring to feed to Casey Lee who goaled with pure style as Nakita Lastrina directed the ball down to the goalers. Some rotations saw exciting new combinations arise as we prepare for Round 4.
Well done to Lauren Watson who also made her debut in A-Grade, coming on into WA to gain some experience that will help prepare her for Round 4. Thankyou to Casey Barnes and Abbie Barnes for also coming in to help us out.
Best: Fiona Waack
Coaches: Nakita Lastrina
So exciting times as we see A, B and C remain in the top two, and D-Grade third.
The goal for this coming week will be to work on fluent feeds into our ring with goalers working on accuracy. Looking forward to see what Lakers can produce in Round 4 against Yarra Junction.
