Mallee 4 defeated Emus 1.

Mallee began the game at the bottom of the ladder and had a lot of hard work to do. I

n drizzly conditions, an early flick was awarded to Emus, which was easily converted by Fiona Power in her first match back from surgery.

Emus were delighted with this early goal, but were soon bought back to Earth by Mallee’s domination in the forward line.

The legendary Kerry Longbottom scored a tricky goal, and soon found herself being wrestled to the ground by Cath Brown in goals, who always likes to make her presence felt in the D.

Undeterred, Longbottom scored again, but this time, she kept her distance by staying at the top of the scoring circle to hit a beautiful ball into the net.

The second half was again dominated by Mallee, who kept Emus defenders Angela Jeitz and Antonia Ravencroft very busy.

Renae Guest-Spencer was the hungry one this time, with a hard hit from the top of the D that just managed to sneak through.

The next goal was kicked from a ball which went blocked by Angela Jeitz, but right onto the stick of Renae Guest-Spencer, who pushed the ball past Brown, again into the back of the net. T

he final score was 4-1 to Mallee, saving them from the bottom of the ladder for now.

Best players for Mallee: Jess Overton, Makayla Florrisson, Jolie Delroy; for Emus: Michelle Pitman, Fiona Power, Dee Bennier.
