Macedon pulls away for solid win

Macedon came from behind to defeat Diggers Rest in their Riddell District Netball League clash.

The Burras, coming off their first loss of the season, looked the better team in the first half and led by six goals at the main break.

Not for the first time this season, the Cats stepped up a level in the third quarter, to draw even heading into the final quarter.

A 14 to six final quarter sealed the 44-36 win for the Cats and kept their winning start to the season alive.

Tayissa Coppinger, who split her time between the midcourt and defence, was named the Cats’ best player, while Chloe Wilson scored 36 goals.

Burras defender Anica Scherer was named the best for her side.

In other matches, Romsey got the better of Melton Centrals.

The two teams had a draw in their first match-up this season, but there was no close result this time.

The Redbacks took control of the game in the second quarter and were never headed, restricting Centrals to just 10 goals in the second half.

The Redbacks won 46-25. Chelsea Ross shot 28 goals for the Redbacks.

Riddell proved too strong for Broadford winning 62-32.

Wallan got the win against Rockbank 55-31.

Meanwhile, Woodend-Hesket forfeited against Rupertswood.
