Shepparton's early surge threatened to throw the Lions off their game, but the Lions rallied, showcasing their determination.

Fuhrmeister expressed her delight with the team's performance.

"It was quite a good match-up and they got the jump on us early," she said.

"I thought it was one of our best performances this season. Although a lot of us have played together we are slowly building our connections and gelling better. We're playing with more confidence now too.

“I thought Casey was unreal; she is such a workhorse with her ability to help out in defence and attack. Liv Barry has grown so much in confidence, Sarah had her work cut-out for her against Jane Cook and I thought Rosie (O’Sullivan) provided good drive and feed in wing-attack.”
