The City West Falcons were given a reality check in the Victorian Netball League on Wednesday. Facing the Geelong Cougars in a top of the table clash, the Falcons put out one of their most disappointing performances of the season. The Cougars got the jump early, and despite the Falcons getting within five goals twice, were able to run away with a convincing 68-53 win. Falcons coach Marg Lind said the group didn’t adapt to the changing environment that was around them.
