WEDDERBURN has gone two games clear on top of the North Central A Grade ladder after a spirited nine-goal win over Boort.
The Redbacks took a few minutes to settle in the bustling first quarter that saw the Carly Isaac-coached Magpies have a slight edge out of the centre and converting quick goals.
Led by goalkeeper Alice Hubbard - straight from playing in the Redbacks’ B Grade line-up - the momentum swung and Wedderburn nosed ahead by five goals at the first change.
 The margin was maintained in the second quarter as the two leading association teams engaged in fast-paced play.
Grace Hosking was to the fore at goal defence for Boort while at the opposite end of the court Georgia Weaver made her presence felt.
Isaac, putting herself on the wing for a second week, was up against Paige Ryan who was among the Redback’s best players for the day.
Boort was just two goals down at the last change  but reigning premiers Wedderburn was able to skip away to remain undefeated nearing the half-way point of the season.
Hubbard was named Wedderburn’s best in both A and B Grades. The second grade had been a battle of the undefeated teams going into Saturday’s clash at Donaldson Park.
The Redbacks had a slender three-goal lead at quarter time before powering on 16 goals in the second, only to see Boort reverse fortunes in the third term. Wedderburn took honours by 13 goals.
Emma Darker at wing defence and goalshooter Amy Dridan were best for Boort in B Grade.
Wedderburn claimed C Grade honours while Boort finished on top in C Reserve.
