NEWSTEAD (53) def TALBOT (23)
Newstead made a strong start to life under the coaching of Bri Jury, taking a 30-goal win over Talbot.
A vastly different Kangaroos team from 2022 took to the court on Saturday afternoon, and they were able to deliver in a good performance.
A tight first quarter saw the Kangaroos take a slender 10-6 lead at the first change, before they put the foot down.
Fifteen goals to six in the second quarter saw them take a 25-12 lead at the main change, before their most powerful quarter of the day in driving rain saw them score 19 goals to four to take a 44-16 lead at the last break.
From there, Newstead were able to cruise home, scoring nine goals to seven to win 53-23.
Jury played her part, scoring 23 goals, while Verity Gartside was another strong performer, scoring 30 goals.
For Talbot, who are still searching for a drought-breaking win, Dom Roche scored 18 goals, while Stella Roche added five.
