The other early games saw current second from top Stratford Ladies Blues take on Pink Ladies.

BDR and Stratford Ladies Purples game started out closely contested with end to end action. After the first quarter Purples stretched their lead finding lots of space in the centre third thanks to Lottie Baird and Lisa Nduna who were awarded players of the match for Purples. BDR had some lovely long balls in the circle from daughter Jasmine playing C to mother Michelle playing GS/GA. But it was Keeper Helen Handy who shone in the game making some impressive interceptions and gained both umpire’s and player’s player.
The two Shooters teams met for the second time this season after Sparks narrowly beat Flames in the last meeting. Even though Sparks had just 7 players available for the game, the first quarter was closely fought with Flames taking the lead 8-7. Flames then pushed ahead with Sian Betteridge and Kathy Moore playing exceptionally well while Anna Philpott from Sparks had a standout performance. The end result was 49-20 to Flames, 1-1 in the club derby!
