Warriors 61 defeated Rangers 55
The Warriors took down Rangers to claim their second win of the season. Both teams consisted of numerous athletes fresh off their week at the Australian Men’s & Mixed Netball Nationals.
Warriors captain Matthew Brown led his team in an extraordinary effort, with 51 goals across the game. Brown was assisted by Jayden Kahotea with eight goals and Patrick Daniel with two.
Although suffering a loss, Rangers should not be dismissed, the close nature of the game is a testament to the quality of the league.
Shooting responsibilities were shared between Jerome Gillbard with 31 goals, Luke Birnie with 11, Robin Anderson with eight and Micky Woodley with five.
Rangers took the lead in the first quarter winning by five, but the team then lost their groove until the fourth quarter which ultimately let them down.
