The girls started the game off at a high intensity and gave Congupna a scare.
They continued to work on our structures and defence pressure, which created many turnovers. Congupna seemed frustrated at times, as our girls never gave up.
Each quarter they worked on what we spoke about and all played a great game.
Just a couple of errors during the last stages of the game saw the lead blowout.
But it was an amazing turnaround from the first time we played them, and you can definitely see how much every player has progressed.
Great game by each player and was also great to see that Georgia Denny made her A-grade debut.
Best on court went to Daisy Daniels, and player's choice was Hayley Denny.

B-grade: Finley 34 def by Congupna 72.
A hard-fought effort for B-grade on Saturday.
Congupna came out strong in their first quarter, which made it hard for the Cats to play catch up.
Renee Hulls proved her experience in the shooting circle today with her accuracy and her netball smarts, which earned her the Finley RSC best on court award.
Miranda Taylor played gracefully in the mid-court today and had some great feeds to the shooters, strong drives, and space making in attack which overall got her the Finley IGA coaches award.
All players gave it their all today and did well to not drop heads considering the deficit. We regroup this week and go into the Cobram game with strong minds.
C-grade: Finley 46 def by Congupna 59.
On Saturday, we fought hard keeping up with a very strong Congupna, there was not one player who did not try their utmost for every ball.
Our shooters worked exceptionally well and hard together in the ring, our mid-court brought the ball down and fed to our shooters with skill, and our defence end fought until the very end for every ball they could get their hands on.

C-reserve: Finley 13 def by Congupna 32.
With a huge percentage of our normal team away due to holidays or injury, we called upon our junior girls, a few making their senior debut, to fill the gap.
They all did an exceptional job and should be very proud of the way they conducted themselves on court, we went down but not without giving it our all.

Under-17s: Finley 50 def Congupna 37.
Finley had a rollercoaster of a game today, with plenty of highs and lows across each quarter.
The young side came out firing, taking an early lead over the Roaders in the first quarter. However, after halftime, the opposition began to close the gap.
In the final quarter, the Cats lifted their pressure, intensity, and accuracy, pulling away with a dominant finish.
The defensive end was relentless, forcing multiple turnovers, while the mid-court linked up beautifully to deliver clean, well-structured passages into the goal circle.
The shooters capitalised on this, showing an outstanding connection and converting strongly under the post.
Awards: Milena Sneddon and Matilda Burton.
Under-15s: Finley 36 def Congupna 23.
Even though we were short on numbers this week, the girls showed versatility and drive for the ball.
We consistently edged the margin each quarter and adjusted well to their tight defence down the court.
Chelsea Kennedy had her first debut in 15s from under 13s which was exciting to have her part of our team.
The passages of play down the court were great, and each of the girls worked well to create space for each other.
The awards went to two girls who showed great positivity and leadership on the court.
Both players worked well together in the ring.
Awards: Bella Rourke and Lucy Mueller.
Under-13s: Finley 29 def by Congupna 33.

Unfortunately, the girls couldn’t get the win across the line, but it was an enjoyable game for the girls.
Awards: Chane Luderitz and Chelsea Kennedy.
Under-11s: Not scored.
Our team played a very good game in all areas of the court this week, showcasing their skills from training.
