ALTHOUGH Tooradin Netball Club’s Agrade team put in a lacklustre performance against Narre Warren on Saturday, it still managed to come away with an eightgoal win.
Rachel Splatt and Erin McMillan were a welcome return to the team after missing games through injury, the latter coming out firing in the first term to shoot at 100 per cent accuracy.
Bess O’Loughlin was a shining light and even after coming off after being winded, returned in the last quarter and played well.
