Romsey and Lancefield netballers defeated in up-hill battle

While the region’s senior football teams were each successful at the weekend, it was tougher going for their A Grade netball counterparts, who each suffered losses.

Romsey and Lancefield are still in search of their first wins of the season after dropping games to Riddell and Melton Centrals respectively.

The Tigers battled hard in their 45-50 loss, but 27 goals to Blues goal attack Emma Winzar, at an excellent 82 per cent conversion rate, was too much to overcome.

Darcee Ellard was Lancefield’s top scorer, netting 25 goals of her own at goal attack, with support from Jordan Furness who added 15.

Romsey was no match for the high-scoring Riddell, losing 48-68 as Riddell goaler Shelby Holter scored 44 goals.

Macedon showed why it sits atop the A Grade ladder, dismantling the previously unbeaten Wallan 60-19.

Despite the best efforts of Wallan players Gemma Grimmond, Georgia Stevenson and Genevieve Carboon, the Magpies were overrun as Cat goaler Henrietta Donoghue scored 47 goals.

The Magpies will regroup with a bye this week, while Lancefield will host Macedon and Romsey will travel to play the Western Rams.
