ROC Netball Club’s Bgrade team kept the pressure on Doveton for the whole game to run out 57goal winners in round 16 on Saturday.
Starting strongly, ROC was able to maintain confidence and an optimistic approach all game.
Taking the lead at halftime didn’t kill the team’s spirit and it continued to work hard with defence creating many turnovers.
The goalers shot brilliantly with incredible accuracy, while the midcourt was swift to drive the ball down the court.
Scores: ROC 77 d Doveton 20.
