Pigeons mixed day on court

A beautiful sunshine filled day on Saturday was the perfect backdrop for A Grade’s match, but more importantly for Ladies Day that followed on afterwards.

Myrtleford are always a tough opponent with young, versatile midcourters, and a talented goal shooter.

The A Grade were missing three defenders in Hannah, Kylie and Liv.

Anna Grinter and Maisee Pell stepped into goal defence and goalkeeper for the full match.

They combined beautifully and gave a complete 60-minute effort.

Two crucial rebounds and one turnover in the final quarter, turned out to be all A Grade needed to come away with the victory.

Maddy Allen was a standout in the attacking end, putting on a performance for her parents who had travelled from the Colac area to watch.

Accurate, poised and agile, Allen made it hard for opposition defenders all day.

A Grade is happy with where they currently sit with so far this season, that is proving to be very tight.

Best: Laura Irvine and Maddy Allan.
