A slow start to the game with Boronia leading by a goal at the end of the first quarter. However, Silvan fought back in the second quarter, leading by four goals by halftime and two by the end of the third quarter.

Another nail-biting game as Coldstream and Knox battled it out on Friday night.

It was the hunger and passion for the win that led Coldstream to make an unpredictable turnover and win the game by two goals.
Amazing contribution from all scorers from Coldstream as Lauren Beaton, Tegan Eagle, and Kate Wilson score 10, 8 and 5 goals towards their team’s victory.

Coldstream 45 def Glen Waverley 29
A very important game for both teams this week as 1st and 2nd place battled it out on the courts. Glen Waverley was the team to beat, but Coldstream had an agenda in mind and that was to win. All throughout the game Coldstream were in the lead however the Hawks caught up to them in the second half, teasing an overthrow by being only two goals behind. Despite the close margin, Coldstream didn’t let the Hawks get too comfortable and proved to be too strong by pushing out to a 13-goal lead by the end of the third quarter and winning by 16.
