The Saints worked hard all game but really came out firing in the third quarter, with some great passages of play and fantastic defensive pressure all the way down the court.
The Berrigan goalies shot well all day and the team played well together, which is something that has been lacking this year.
Final score, Berrigan 46 to Blighty 31. Awards: Kirsty Willis claimed both the Thomson’s Service Centre and the Wingates awards.
Berrigan had a great win to welcome coach Nat Ferguson back into the country after her short three week vacation. A close first quarter saw one goal separating the two sides.
A quick regroup and a couple of demands made and words of encouragement and the Saints began their stride.
Berrigan sealed the game in the third with a 17-goal term, after bringing young Dana Karakai into the ring, shooting 11 of those goals, with Bec Ware also strong in attack.
Maddy Loats was dangerous through the middle, taking some crucial intercepts and an impressive Rachel Head and Emily Ryan were a brick wall in defence.
Final score, Berrigan 49 to Blighty 22. Awards: BNC Award - Dana Karakai; Thursday Night Dinner - Bec Ware.
