TRENTHAM (29) def by MARYBOROUGH GIANTS (63)
A barnstorming start from the Maryborough Giants has seen them take a commanding 34-goal victory over Trentham as they continue to maintain top spot on the A grade ladder.
The Giants made a fast start from the outset, with playing-coach Annalyse Carroll scoring 10 goals and Abbey Raven adding seven more to immediately take control of the game.
At the other end, the Saints were held to just eight shots for the quarter, with Jacqui Bell making the most of her opportunities with three goals, while Zahlia Turton added one goal.
Trentham had a better second quarter as they shifted the magnets around, with Tarnee Hammond moving into goal attack, and was rewarded with nine goals, while Turton added one.
At the other end, however, the Giants were still well on top, with Carroll adding 12 goals and Raven five, as they led by 20 goals at half time.
The Giants continued on their merry way in the third quarter, shifting Ruby Saunder from goal defence to the goal third, and she responded with nine goals, while Raven added seven more.
At the other end, Hammond added four goals, while Turton added one and Bell one to see the Giants lead by 30 goals at the last change.
It was a fairly even finish, with Saunder adding 10 goals and Raven three for the Giants, while Hammond added six goals for the Saints, and Bell added three.
The Giants will now take on Maldon as they look to make it three from three, while Trentham will look to respond this week with a trip to Navarre.
