Eaton’s domination of competition continues

Eaton’s netball domination has continued with a convincing 61-35 victory over South Bunbury at Leschenault Leisure Centre. With both teams grateful to be playing indoors during the Sunday downpour, it was an even start to the match as they matched each other goal for goal early. However, rapid driving and accurate shots on goal by Jessica Knight and Mickashia Watts saw the Boomers begin to pull away slightly. Despite the Boomers managing to obtain the lead, South Bunbury were keen to stay in the contest with a number of Eaton’s errors allowing the Tigers to capitalise. At quarter time, Eaton held on to lead 18-15. The second quarter saw Eaton try to build on the lead they obtained late in the first quarter with a few early goals. However, South Bunbury continued to put the pressure on with strong defence by Sidney Mason, Jade O’Connell and Vaezarn Bishop. Despite the physical contest, Eaton held on once again to lead 29-23 at half time. The third quarter saw the Boomers start to take control of the contest with a flurry of goals extending their lead. With South Bunbury frantically trying to stay in the contest, Eaton seemed to maintain composure and continue with their formula of quick passes and accurate shots at the net. As South Bunbury started to fade in defence inside the goal circle, Eaton pushed the margin out to 25 points at the final change. Despite South Bunbury’s best efforts to try and make a comeback, Eaton were just too much for them, going on to win by 26 goals. Elsewhere, Busselton’s strong form continued with a 55-43 win over Blackwood, and Harvey-Brunswick-Leschenault held off Carey Park 49-45.
