Rovers netball report:
A grade: Deni Rovers 29 def Mathoura 20.
In what can only be described as hot conditions it was a very tough game against a very tough side.
The score line reflects the intensity of the game with goals hard to come by. Our defensive pressure provided opportunities and our shooters had to work extra hard with such a strong Mathoura defence. Everyone was able to stay positive and fight hard for the win.

B Grade: Deni Rovers 31 def Mathoura 27. After a few weeks off the girls came out determined to win. A strong defensive game all over the court and some great attacking plays. Thanks again to our juniors for stepping in.

C Grade: Deni Rovers 49 def Mathoura 12.
It didn’t feel like 1st v 10th. Mathoura came out hard and strong which our girls were able to absorb and held a couple of goals lead at the first change.
From then on Rovers took control of the game and ran away to win comfortably.

C Reserve: Deni Rovers 48 def Mathoura 11. Very warm day today which knocked a couple of the old bush chooks around. But with a strong bench and a breather they were able to freshen up and continue the game. Best team game for the year from all players saw a large win against a tough opponent.

U17: Deni Rovers 55 def Mathoura 31.
Great result against a strong opponent. Rovers started well with Abbey Wills and Emma East shooting accurately with Sienna Jenkins and Abby Whitehorn feeding them strongly around the ‘D’.
The defenders held strong and were able to grab many loose balls which our shooters were able to convert. Remy Muirhead took the court in GS after half time and did well in her first game back since round six.

U15: Deni Rovers 57 def Mathoura 6.
It was a fantastic team effort by all the girls today. They had an absolute ball playing mixed up positions
and it was great to see them supporting each other down the court.
It was such an amazing team effort that all players received an award.
Well done girls!
