Netball
Werribee Centrals have overcome their toughest challenge of the GDFL netball A-grade season to date with a 37-28 win over second-placed Winchelsea. The Centurions made a slow start in wet conditions, and trailed by three at half-time. But they turned the game their way thanks to nifty moves by coach Lina Iuta after the break to out-score the home side 20-8 in the second half. Amanda Wilson and Madeline Hodgson halted Winchelsea’s attacking penetration, Nicole Stewart and Meg Noonan dominated in centre court and Ellie Tubbs put on the finishing touches with 34 goals.
