CORA Lynn found tough opposition from Buln Buln at the weekend and came home without a win but fought out a thrilling draw in B grade.

Awards: Sarah Hester, Kirstie Spooner.

B GRADE

Cora Lynn contested every passage of play from Buln Buln in a tight game with scores level at halftime and threequarter time. There was some great defence from Donna Ward and Erin Patterson, while Nicole Dyker played a sensational game at wing defence.

Scores: Cora Lynn 47 drew with Buln Buln 47.
Awards: Donna Ward, Nicole Dyker.

Everyone tried hard all game, but Buln Buln was too strong.
Scores: Cora Lynn 19 lost to Buln Buln 46.
Awards: Courtney Ball, Kate Harper.
