NAR Nar Goon welcomed Kooweerup at the weekend and all but one Goon team won.
A GRADE
The Goon settled early into a steady and strong game with the defence end playing extremely tight. Accurate goaling from Meg Evans and Sam Cox for four quarters was pleasing. Strong passages of play throughout the court gave Nar Nar Goon an increased lead at every change.
Scores: Nar Nar Goon 64 d Kooweerup 38.
Best: Meg Evans, Stacey Cooper.
B GRADE
After a slow start the Goon was six goals down in the first quarter. But in the third Erin Murphy shot 14 goals to put the Goon three goals in front and the Goon held this lead despite a tough tussle. The defenders in particular played well. Cassa Fry did well in her first game in B grade.
Scores: Nar Nar Goon 32 d Kooweerup 29.
Best: Raynie Armstrong, Michelle Collins.
C GRADE
After a slow first quarter the Goon settled down and managed to be competitive against Kooweerup for the remaining quarters. The defenders played an excellent game against much taller opponents. Leara Keysers was best on court for her great defensive game. Meaghan Douglas came up from the under 15s to fill in and played well.
Scores: Kooweerup 39 d Nar Nar Goon 13.
Best: Leara Keysers.
17 AND UNDER
Nar Nar Goon controlled the game from the start with Prue Evans goaling superbly. Sarah Van Boxtel and Sinead Scanlon also rotated through goals, doing well. The Goon defence was strong throughout, taking many intercepts and keeping Kooweerup’s goaling opportunities to a minimum.

Award: E & C Joinery Prue Evans.
15 AND UNDER
After three quarters of going goalforgoal Nar Nar Goon took control and stepped up its defensive play in the last quarter.

Scores: Nar Nar Goon 28 d Kooweerup 19.
Award: Gloria Jean’s Georgia Keysers.
