Brisbane State High School is making a run for it in the Opens netball division, while St Peters, Moreton Bay College and St Margaret’s were chasing hard following round 6 action last weekend.
St Margaret rose to the occasion playing Moreton Bay College, bouncing back after a narrow defeat against Brisbane State High in the previous round.
St Margaret’s put up an incredible contest against netball dynamo MBC and managed to turn around a 13-goal differential in the second half to secure the win.
Central to St Margaret’s success were the defensive ball winning efforts of Syren Letizia and shooting accuracy of Goal Shooter, Sienna Small.
Coach Karen Brown said he was extremely proud of her team’s efforts and determination to close out the game.
