The Penola Netball Club is set to host its last home game of the season against Bordertown.

Last week the 13C had a beautiful sunny morning in Kyby.

The girls played a great game, improving each game and growing in confidence.

Maddison played a strong game and lots of chasing loose balls, winning Menzies hotel award.

Henna’s intercepts at centre and holding in the goal circle won her the Lolly Shop award.

The 13B team was fortunate that Kyby let it play extra quarters so both 13B teams could get a decent run.

The girls started off strongly and continued to play well all game.

Defensively they were fantastic at shadow defence, causing lots of pressure and turning the ball over often.

The ball movement down the court was good and when the players used change of direction and timed leads they looked very good.

Best players were Milly Finch and Lilly Flint.

The 13a Eagles came out with fire in their bellies ready to take on a competitive Kyby, in what was ones of their best games of the season.

Defensive pressure was tight with lots of turnovers from both teams, going goal for goal throughout.

Kyby stepped it up in the third so stretch the lead to five, Penola stepped up their intensity and came away with a three goal loss.

Best players were Winnie Zadow and Lily Hackwill.

The Division 2 Penola girls played well against a tall and talented Kyby side.

Penola continued to push forward with excellent play into the second half, coming home wwith a strong 30 goal win.

B grade once again had a strong win defeating Kyby by an impressive 55 goals.

A slower pace this week allowed the team to practice a few things they have been working on to improve their game even further.

With Caitlin away enjoying some sunshine and Monique coming off early in the second quarter Penola had to rely on Eva Manarangi and Lucy Catlin to help.

They played very well and did everything asked of them and more.

Sarah and Teegan moved and shot well as per usual with near perfect feeding from Ava and Jess all game.

Monique coming back from injury stuck to her player like glue and got many hands to balls.

Jade and Lauren created immense pressure down the defensive end causing many fumbled balls and missed shots.

In perfect conditions for netball Penola A Reserve came out strong.

Penola worked hard defensively all day which resulted in some great transition down court.

The third quarter saw Penola work patiently into attack creating many scoring opportunities.

Karly and Kasey worked to increase the lead to 18 at the last break.

The last quarter saw Heidi enter the game for Karly.

The defensive pressure from Sophie and Kim continued to see Penola end the game up comfortably.

Best players were Kasey Venables and Kim Wilson.

A fierce battle was predicted in A grade and with a different line up again this week, it was going to be a difficult match.

The last time these two teams played, it resulted in a draw.

With Siobhan Adams out with concussion, Kaitlin Egan moved into Centre and Sally Skeer into WA.

They both picked up from where they left off with their mid court combo moving the ball well.

Although the Tigers got the early jump, the Eagles found their rhythm, dominating the second half of the first quarter to take the lead out to seven at the first break.

It was like deja vu early in the second from the week before when Brooke Klemm took a big fall landing badly, unable to return to the game.

Chelsea Galpin moved back to GK and Tara Millard stepped up once again in WD to play seven quarters for the day.

Jordyn Adams was pivotal in the match up on Charlee Hodges wearing her like a glove and getting some amazing deflections and interceptions all throughout the court.

The Eagles pushed out their lead to 20 at the half time break.

Multiple changes were made to the Kyby side throughout the match but that did not stop the Eagles.

April Possingham was well supported by Tegan Lythgo who was super impressive all day as she was often left alone to land beautifully and finish strong earning herself the Dergolm Pub award.

She netted 27/31 at 89% which for a GA is incredible let alone as a 15 year old in her first year of A Grade.

The second half was much closer but the Eagles were too strong winning every quarter and stretching the lead out to 25 by the final whistle.

Best players were Tegan Lythgo and April Possingham.
