Country gave Town a fright in the first quarter, when score was 9-9. They played with flair and a sense of purpose getting the ball to the edge of the goal circle effortlessly.

Town settled down later in the second quarter, with wing attack, Debbie Angus intercepting well and moving the ball through the court well.
Town goalkeeper, Linda de Ruyter robbed town of a lot of ball, but Hastie and goal attack, Janice McKerchar kept working hard.
