Swans upset ladder-leading Murrabit

MOULAMEIN marked its best victory of the season when it upset the ladder-leading Murrabit in Saturday’s fifth round of A-grade netball action in the Golden Rivers FNL competition.

The Swans had home-court advantage at Moulamein against the Blues.

A top contest went Moulamein’s way, 49-38.

The Blues took an unbeaten run into the match, but it was the team in red and white which took the points.

Ultima marked its trek to Macorna by scoring a 41-34 victory in Tigers’ territory.

The Hay Lions won a high-scoring clash with the Wandella Bombers, 60-47.
