Diggers fall short

Diggers Rest was unable to go with Lancefield in the final quarter as it fell to another loss in the Riddell District Netball League.

Playing at home, the Burras pushed the Tigers for the first three quarters with only three goals the difference heading into the final quarter.

The Tigers found another level late and finished with a 13-6 final quarter to come away with a 54-44 win.

Leona Hristovska shot 29 goals for the Burras, while Olivia Marris shot 15.

The two were among the best for the Burras along with Anica Scherer.

The Burras remain last without a win, but have two draws.

Elsewhere Melton Centrals and Wallan played out a hard fought draw.

Wallan led at each of the breaks and had a margin of two goals heading into the final quarter.

In the end, neither team could be split with the scores locked at 42-apiece.

Imogen Sexton shot 28 goals for Centrals as they used four different goalers.

Centrals sit in sixth spot with a 3-2-2 record.

Melton South had a tough day out against Kyneton, losing 57-29 to Kyneton.

A 20-6 first quarter set up the win for the Tigers.

Helena Samardzija shot 26 goals for the Panthers.

Melton South sits in ninth spot.

In other matches, the Gisborne Giants had their best win of the season as they beat Riddell, while Woodend-Hesket was too strong for Macedon.

There is a competition wide bye this weekend due to the long weekend.
