Another double header round was played in the Fast5 Netball competition last Tuesday night at Ward Oval with the first Supershots of the season recorded.
Once again the competition’s newcomers, Mixed & Matched (M&M), dominated the night to win both of their matches, with their shooters setting two records, one for the season and the other was a first in the local competition.
In their Round 4 win over Watch & Learn, M&M’s Lauren Urquhart shot the first long range, three-point Supershot for the season and then in the 4th quarter, in their Power Play quarter, team mate Peta Woods landed a Supershot also, which was worth six points (the first of the competition in four seasons) which helped the team to a 34-30 win.
In their first game of the night, M&M only just scraped in to finish with a one point win over Fast Fobs, 36-35.
At three-quarter time, Fast Fobs were seven points ahead, 25-18 after recording a big 16 points in the third quarter when they used their Power Play phase. (All points scored are worth double in the Power Play quarter.)
M&M still had their Power Play card up their sleeve, having elected at the start of the game to use it in the final quarter.
Despite Fast Fobs scoring a healthy tally of 10 points in the final quarter, M&M had saved their best shooting until the end and added 18 points to their total which saw them through to a one point victory, 36-35.
Ryan Urquhart (M&M) and Loma Atuau (Fast Fobs) earned the Favourite Fivers title as voted by their opposition.
Watch & Learn took the lead in their Round 3 game from the outset and finished as 27-13 winners over KML.
Nick Short (Watch & Learn) and Ethan McLeod (KML) were named as the Favourite Fivers.
KML lost their Round 4 match last week going down 35-17 against Fast Fobs who were very motivated to make up for their one point loss in Round 3.
