City West Falcons have collected their fifth win on the trot to stay top of the Victorian Netball League championship division ladder.

The Falcons’ offence showed no signs of slowing down in the 60-41 mauling
of Geelong Cougars at the State Netball and Hockey Centre on Wednesday night.

Three goalers were deployed by Falcons coach Marg Lind and all three had better than 85 per cent returns.

VU-Western Lightning lost to the Boroondara Genesis, the only other undefeated team.

While the Lightning went down 44-40, its players showed they can match it with one of the best sides in the competition.

Sophie Gunn was the stand-out goaler for the Lightning with 28 from 31 for a
91 per cent return.

The VNL will return on March 19 after the representative break.
