The Fast5 Netball Pool B grand final last Tuesday night was a cracker of a game with Rebounders eventually claiming a one point win, 22-21, over Peak Golden Nuggets.
In comparison, the Pool A game was a real fizzer with Mixed & Matched winning on a forfeit from Untouchables who were unable to field a side for the match.
The B Grade game however well and truly provided plenty of excitement as both sides were evenly matched up and down the court.
It was a high intensity game with phenomenal defence displayed by both sides which kept the scoring low throughout the match.
At the end of the first quarter the scores were 7-all and not much had changed by half time with the score at 11-all.
Rebounders took the lead in the third quarter after they used their Power play option (where points are doubled).
They added eight points to their tally and limited Peak Golden Nuggets to just two points.
Going into the final quarter, Rebounders were up 19-13 but Peak Golden Nuggets had left their Power Play option until the final quarter.
They too added eight points to their tally and tightened up their defence but the difference came down to Rebounders landing three goals in the final quarter which won them the match,
22-21.
Rebounders’ Kai Greenwood, who played at both ends of the court, earned the Player of the Grand Final title.
Peak Golden Nuggets were well served throughout the match by their defender Sara Waak while Tadgh McMullen was a standout…Full report in this week’s edition of The Cobar Weekly.
