In the rematch from last year’s grand final, Werrimull stopped Nangiloc’s early winning streak with a 46-26 result Sarah Oval.

Recovering from a four-goal loss to Cardross last week, the Magpies pulled out all the stops to ensure a 20-point win over the Demons.

Cassie Morris, coach Anna Thomson and Aislinn Campbell were all impressive performers for the winners while Gabrielle Gardner, Kristy Middleton and Tamara Loveridge were best for Nangi.

Despite not having won a game so far, Meringur took the fight to ladder leaders Cardross who claimed a nine-goal win.

Darcie Gray’s strong start to the season continued as she was named her side’s best player in the 48 to 39 victory.

Christina Villiva and coach Melissa Kennedy were also impressive performers, while Teagan Pettigrew, Bella Connell and Madelyn McPhee were top players for Meringur.
