Down a key piece and scrambling for new combinations did not ultimately hurt Geelong Amateurs as the side powered to a 49-32 win against Queenscliff.
Ammos goal shooter Ruby Watson missed the clash with the Coutas, with coach Riley Richardson left to find a new avenue to goal.
He said he was really happy with how the girls worked together, despite being undersized.
“Ruby’s a linchpin in our front line, but it was great to be able to try some different combinations and see how they went,” he said.
“Georgia Duncan moved from goal attack to goal shooter, and she stood up really well, and gave us great opportunities.
“We knew we’d have to be a little bit more patient with the ball with Ruby out, but the girls responded really well and we managed to have a positive score every quarter, which I was really happy with.”
