RDNL: Melton Centrals into netball grand final

07 Sep, 2010 01:00 AM
MELTON Centrals won through to the Riddell District Netball League grand final at the weekend with an 11-goal win in Agrade against Macedon.

The match was moved indoors at late notice, but the change of venue failed to rattle the minor premier, which advanced to the grand final 43-32 at the Cats' expense.

Bec Pereira's 28 goals and Mardi Button's 15 gave Melton the fire-power under the goal-ring as Macedon's avenues to goal were restricted.

Romsey will be waiting for the Cats in this weekend's preliminary final after a 16-goal win against Riddell in the first semi-final.

Riddell's league best-and-fairest Christine Harris scored 26 goals for the Bombers but had no teammates make double figures as Romsey won 51-35.

Towering goaler Hope Hamilton slotted 32 goals and Bronwyn Blair 19 as Romsey advanced to the second-last day of the season.

Romsey defeated Macedon 44-37 in round one this year and 53-29 in round 12.

The preliminary final will be played at Romsey Park, starting 12.30pm this Saturday.

In other Riddell netball news, Tran Truong and Mel Laird, of Melton Centrals, were selected in the team of the year at the Bowen and Ryan medal count last Monday night.

In RDFL football, Melton Centrals' Paul Snowden won the Scarborough Medal as best and fairest in the reserve division last Monday night.

Snowden tied with Sunbury Kangaroos' Steven James for the award with 18 votes each.
