City West secured its 15th consecutive win of the Victorian Netball League season last week with an eight-goal win against Monash University Storm. As they have been all season, the Falcons were dominant from the early stages and took a seven-goal lead into the first break. Despite the Storm’s best efforts, the margin continued to grow in the next two quarters, with the Falcons’ goal combination of Alice Teague-Neeld, Kath Knott and Julia Woolley doing most of the damage. All three shooters were converting at above 80 per cent. Despite Monash winning the final quarter, City West eventually secured a 57-49 win. The Falcons have a perfect 15-0 record for the season and sit three games clear on top of the ladder. This week, they face Boroondara.

The Western Jets completed a remarkable comeback to defeat the Northern Knights by 14 points in TAC Cup at the weekend. After trailing by 22 points at three-quarter-time, the Jets stormed home with seven final-term goals. At the other end, the Knights managed a single six-pointer for the term. The 16.10 (106) to 13.14 (92) win is the Jets’ fifth in a row and lifts them to third spot. Jackson Volpato and Connor Menadue were outstanding for the Jets, each kicking four goals. They were well supported by Dillon Viojo, who delivered a best-on-ground effort. The Jets take on Geelong at Avalon Airport Oval on Saturday.
