Playing the team at the top of the division was always going to be difficult, however Hillcrest got off to a flying start and ended the first quarter leading 12-7. Lions' defence quickly reacted to our tactics and by the end of the second quarter had reduced the lead to one, 21-20. Then followed a tense third quarter which finished at an even 31-31. Going into the fourth quarter Hillcrest didn't give up the momentum but Lions managed to pull ahead by 3 goals with the final score 37-40. With the quarter scores at 12-7, 9-13, 10-11, 6-9, the match was close throughout with Hillcrest playing some very nicely controlled netball throughout the court.
