Goon grabs all grades

NAR Nar Goon hosted Cora Lynn, again taking out wins in all grades for the second week in a row.

@BT Sub Sport Gaz:A GRADE

In a physical and highly competitive game great skill was displayed by both sides. Nar Nar Goon led by six goals at quartertime, managing to increase the lead to eight at halftime. Cora Lynn fought back in the third quarter to reduce the lead to one goal. Great focus and disciplined play enabled the Goon to come away with the points by six goals. Sam Hodge and Linsey Boddy were fabulous in defence, while Masie Noonan provided plenty of drive through midcourt. Despite the loss of Meg Evans in the third quarter, the Goon showed great depth and versatility to win the match with a team effort.
