TOORADIN Netball Club’s Agrade team lost the chance of moving higher than fourth on the ladder after a ninegoal loss to Dingley on Saturday.

During the second term, Keren Van Der Heyden lifted the tempo in the goal ring and assisted the team to win the quarter.
During the third term Tooradin received a scare when Bess O’Loughlin went down on her ankle, resulting in positional changes.
Emma Walker moved into the midcourt and dominated, making an impact to the final result.
Scores: Tooradin 37 lost to Dingley 46.
Awards: McConnell’s Pharmacy BOC, Emma Walker. Rimfire Glass Coaches Award, Stacey McConnell. Most Damaging Player Emma Walker.

B GRADE

In what was billed as a pressure game, Tooradin played without any spark against Dingley.
Despite leading for the whole game and having glimpses of brilliance from Jodie Sorati and Stacey McLeod, Tooradin only began to pick up its game going into the last half.
Loretta Iverach, being the only standout, created play in and around the ring and finished off beautifully.
Scores: Tooradin 49 lost to Dingley 56.
Awards: Malglyn concreting BOC: Loretta Iverach; Andrew Craven concreting Coaches: Stacey McLeod; Damager: Jodie Sorati
