Hawks go top

Woodend-Hesket has moved to the top of the table after a strong performance against Wallan in the Riddell District Netball League.

It was a top of the table clash on Saturday and it lived up to expectations.

The Magpies led by one goal at quarter time and the lead remained the second at the main break.

The Hawks were able to hit the front in the third quarter in difficult conditions at Greenhill Reserve.

The last quarter became a real defence battle with just 10 goals scored for the quarter between the two teams.

It was the Hawks coming out on top, winning 31-26.

Tayissa Coppinger, Georgia Bowkett and Teaghan Coen were named the Hawks best in the win.

The Hawks now sit percentage ahead of the Magpies at the top of the table.

Macedon sits a game back in third after a loss to Riddell on Saturday.

There was nothing in the match for the first half before the Bombers took a three goal lead into the final quarter.

A 19-9 final quarter in favour of the Bombers sealed a 55-42 win.

Sahara Ball, Ruby Shannon and Fionnuala McKeagney-Stubbs were the Bombers best. Ball shot 25 goals for the Bombers.

For the Cats, Hetty Donoghue shot 22 goals.

The Bombers now sit just two points behind the Cats on the ladder.

Lancefield got its third win of the season, beating Diggers Rest.

The Tigers opened up an early lead and were able to build on it throughout, winning 62-35.

Shanae Brundell shot 41 goals for the Tigers and Darcee Ellard shot 21.

For the Burras, Leona Hristovska shot 14 goals.

The result moves the Tigers up to seventh on the ladder, while the Burras sit bottom.
