A quick start by Kooweerup with a very high standard game and the score at the end of the quarter saw it up by one goal.
Shanae Ingram and Jade Williams both played well.
In the second quarter, some good defence and attack from the centre breaks saw Kooweerup get scoring options, but did not make the most off them.
Tania O’Connor and Mariah Bell did some good work around the court and Kooweerup increased its lead to four goals at the main break.
Kooweerup was quick out of the blocks again, but Buln Buln came back strongly in the last five minutes. Sam Belsham showed her accurate goaling sense during the quarter. It was an even start in the last quarter, with both defences pushing hard to get the turnovers, thus a lot of missed goals went begging.
