U15s
Under 15s Another tough game for our girls. Week after week they continue to get out on the court and give everything they have with all the new skills they have learnt. We are starting to discover our shooting end with our young guns Lyla, Heidi and Kitty all playing so well down that end, with some more confidence they will be stand out players in the future! Down our defensive end we are also seeing some consistent strength and Olivia and Shayla playing a strong game with numerous intercepts and rebounds. Every week these girls make us proud, and we look forward to the next game to see these bright starts shine bring. Award- Charlotte and Kitty.
U17s
Yarram 24 Cowwarr 23
What an absolute nail biter! After a flat first quarter the girls were down by 4 at the first break but were able to turn it around in spectacular fashion to be up by 5 at half time. Nat’s unbelievable pressure in defence shut down a dominant and tall goal shooter, sneaking in some fantastic tips right as we needed them.
By three quarter time the Saints were back within 2, and Bink’s ability to transition from attack to defence and maintain composure was integral to the flow throughout the mid court.
With less than two minutes to go we were down by 1, but with an incredible two passages of play by the whole team, we were able to get a goal and a turnover, scoring our final goal just seconds before the siren, to come out on top by just 1 point!
Every single player put their best foot forward today, and we could not be prouder of them. Awards: Bink Newton and Nat Morrey.

What an absolutely incredible game, full of positivity great passages of play, incredible defence and consistently accurate shooting. We had 2 aims to keep fighting and win the game. We achieved both. I’m so proud of our team and to every single person who stepped on the court and played the role asked of them.
Better stop now or I’ll cry again. Go Dees. Awards: Nicole Twite & Shantaz Arnol.
C Grade
C Grade 29 v 24
It was a brilliant effort by the whole team to secure another win. With Jem away, Tahlia stepped into shooter position and did a sterling job.
We applied great pressure the length of the court and everyone was able to take an intercept or force an error gaining the turnover. Isobel was dynamite in WD, shutting down her WA in multiple plays. Evie stayed strong against a physical opponent.
Working extra hard to hit the ring and make position. Well done everyone. Awards: Tahlia Foat, Evie Collins, and Isobel Fisher - Aldridge.
B Grade
Yarram 63 v Cowwarr 24.
Another strong, consistent & positive game from our B Grade girls! With India, Grace, and Darcy away this week, Stacee Staley stepped in seamlessly — like she’d been there all season. She and Sharni ran rings around the Cowwarr defenders, putting on an absolute show in the ring. Our midcourt and defenders were relentless, creating turnover after turnover and converting them into goals, helping us secure a solid 63–24 win. Ruby was
everywhere, with clean tips, loose ball pickups, and big rebounds — like she had the ball on a string! The scoreboard reflected the effort: intense pressure, smart play, and intercept after intercept kept Cowwarr to just 24 goals for the match. A huge team effort all round. Big thanks to Hanna for sitting on our bench and supporting the girls. It was so great to see the club have a successful weekend on the court! Awards: Stacee Staley & Ruby Heasley.
