NULLAWIL came storming home to stop Boort retaining its title as the premier C Grade side in North Central netball.
The outcome of this game hinged on two crucial quarters: the first and the last.
Boort looked comfortable early in this game, obtaining a five-goal lead by the end of the first quarter.
The second and third quarters were closely contested, with the margin remaining just one goal at
three-quarter time, setting the stage for an exciting final term.
Nullawil seized the initiative in the last quarter, taking advantage of Boort’s errors and missed opportunities to convert and secure a seven-goal victory.
Boort, however, battled the final term blitz of Nullawil playing its last game as a stand-alone club.
Two of the younger Magpie brigade - Anna Lanyon at goal attack and Amie Perryman in the centre - were dyamic in delivering the ball to the ring.
Their efforts were applauded by the club’s experienced players on court and A Graders who had bowed out of the finals race the previous week.
