Australian Trenching & Excavations UNDER 15s

Seymour 21 def by Mansfield 41

It was a bright and early start for the Lions in Mansfield who worked tirelessly but came up short in the end.

The pressure in defence stepped up, creating many turnovers but the Lions were unable to fully capitalise on these.

Isabel Meller and Eden Webster were both strong in defense despite the very accurate Mansfield goalers providing little opportunity for rebounds.

Charlotte Bradley was accurate at the other end of the court, creating space in the goal ring.

The girls are continuing to improve their skills and gel as a team each week.
