Mount Gambier Netball Association players braved the elements on the weekend, with heavy rain, thunder and lightning making an appearance.
The junior match of the week was the Under 15s game between Intruders and Vicis.
Intruders started off strongly with Gemma Irons and Neve Dycer combining well to shoot 24 goals in the first half.
Dycer was a key player on the court, communicating well with Irons, WA Maddison Dennis and C Angela Walsgott.
Strong defence from Chloe Schulze in WD, Jasmine Reed in GD and Ciara Henare in GK was hard for the Vicis team to play against, with Intruders seemingly almost unstoppable across the court.
Vicis stepped up their defence in the second half and took it to another level in the third quarter.
The duo of Halle Moore and Zarah Thami combined with Analeigh Anderson to restrict Intruders to shooting only two goals, both from Dycer.
Intruders kept up their defensive efforts in the Vicis circle, with Vicis still trailing 26-12 at the last break.
Intruders rallied in the last quarter, Irons shot two goals, while Dycer had 10 goals, with Vicis restricted to only three goals.
