Exciting draw for A Grade game

An exciting draw was played in the Senior Netball A Grade competition on Saturday between Pumpettes and ENDivas.

The game was tied at 22-all at half time, before Pumpettes pulled out to a five goals lead at three-quarter time.

ENDivas’s combination of Nikki Davey in the centre court feeding the ball to her sister Lisa Travis in the circle saw them fight back in the last quarter to finish in a 41-all draw.

Pumpettes’ Jo Carter was outstanding in the centre court and helped control play all game.

Gentles, Davey and Leah Le Lievre (Pumpettes) shared the game’s Best and Fairest points.
