PAKENHAM Netball Club’s Bgrade team played a strong, skilful game, downing Doveton by 32 goals on Saturday.
A grade did not play this week due to Doveton not fielding a team.
Scores: Pakenham 53 d Doveton 21.
Awards: Cactus Black Hannah Milnes and Lauren Goldsworthy; Bra Shop Kate McCowan.

C GRADE

An excellent performance from all the girls. Teamwork and support all over the court demonstrated the skills of the team.
Scores: Pakenham 58 d Doveton 9.
Awards: Cactus Black Emma Fletcher; Bra Shop Peta Nobelius.

UNDER 17

Pakenham played a strong game all over the court to come out winners.
Scores: Pakenham 52 d Doveton 10.
Awards: Cactus Black Courtney Gramc; Undergear Award: Bianca Withers.

UNDER 15

Pakenham started badly and appeared intimidated by Doveton’s strong play. Inaccurate passing and unsure decision making by the team was costly.
During the second half the team worked hard and played with more desperation, but could not take the lead finally going down to Doveton by seven goals.
Scores: Pakenham 19 lost to Doveton 26.
Awards: Cactus Black Nicole Wake and Amy Round; Energy Nat Horua.

UNDER 13

Another strong game from the Pakenham against a good Doveton team.
Pakenham held a fourgoal lead at halftime, but began to run out of steam in the second.
There were many passages of encouraging play with all players getting involved, but Doveton came back to level the scores.
Scores: Pakenham 19 drew with Doveton 19.
Encouragement award Tanisha Armour.
