5.00pm

4.50pm

FINAL SIREN! WARRIORS WIN!

Stawell 15.9 (99) to Demons 12.11 (83)

4.48pm

Blood rule and Billy Carberry has to make his way of to be replaced for the Demons.

4.45pm

Jamie Bach adds another for Stawell. A tiny bit of breathing space as we move into time on in the last quarter.

Stawell 14.9 (93) to Demons 12.11 (83) 

Bare in mind the second and third quarters both went for 30-minutes. We have about five minutes of actual time remaining.

4.42pm

Jesse Eckel kicks truly to put Stawell up again. I’m not a betting man but if I was and if I was allowed to put money on this I wouldn’t because I have no idea which way this will go 17-minutes into the quarter.

Stawell 13.9 (87) to Demons 12.11 (83)

4.37pm

Finally we have someone miss in the last quarter and how important that point might be in a tight game. Demons up.

Horsham 12.10 (82) to Stawell 12.9 (81)

4.35pm

Netball results in cased you missed them because I did for a little bit as well

A Grade: Stawell 44 defeated Warrack 43

B Grade: Minyip-Murtoa 43 defeated Warrack 32

4.34pm

Geue again. This game is turning into a bit of a flood of goals as we apparoch the ten minute mark of the quarter. Scores level.

Stawell 12.9 (81) to Demons 12.9 (81)

4.32pm

Goal for goal for goal. Brad Thomas kicks a big goal for Stawell and his side has the lead again.

Stawell 12.9 (81) to Demons 11.9 (75)

4.30pm

Geue with one from the pocket and it’s even all over again 6 minutes into the quarter.

Stawell 11.9 (75) to Horsham 11.9 (75)

4.27pm

Another goal from the goal line allows Stawell to sneak ahead in the last quarter.

Stawell 11.9 (75) to Horsham 10.9 (69).

4.16pm

One quarter to go all tied up. You really couldn’t ask for much more than that.

4.14pm

A free-kick 20 metres out directly in front and Stawell have the lead out of nowhere.

Stawell 10.9 (69) to Demons 10.9 (69)

Twist and turns every which way in this game.

4.11pm

Stawell spring into action to grab one against the flow.

Horsham 10.8 (68) to Stawell 9.9 (63).

The Stawell forwards have been starved of opportunities so they will need to make the most of them when they come this quarter.

25-minutes gone in the quarter.

4.08pm

Stawell may have gone to sleep a little. The ball isn’t thrown directly back to the right player and its a 50-metre penalty and a shot from the goal line. 

Demons 10.8 (68) to Stawell 8.9 (57)

4.06pm

​Momentum is certainly with the Demons for the time-being. Another Pekin goal and all of a sudden Horsham has the lead with 18-minutes gone in the third-quarter.

Demons 9.7 (61) to Stawell 8.9 (57)

4.02pm

Boom, boom, boom and the Demons have another one as well as a bit of momentum now. The side still trails though.

4.00pm

Carr kicks another one and the Demons are back within eight-points.

Stawell 8.9 (57) to Demons 7.7 (49)

3.56pm

Pekin grabs one back for the Demons. If you thought this game was done then you were very keen to call this game early because it most certainly isn’t.

Stawell 8.9 (57) to Demons 6.7 (43)

A game that is over is the A Grade netball. Stawell advance and Warrack bow out.

3.51pm

Stawell strike first blood in third quarter and it comes off the boot of David Andrivon.

Stawell 8.8 (56) to Demons 5.5 (35)

3.49pm

Horsham’s Darcy Taylor has hobbled off early in the third quarter. It didn’t look too bad but we’ll have to wait and see if he reemerges. 

3.47pm

We’re back for the second half and things could still go either way. Stawell certainly finished stronger in the second half but 15-points is not a commanding margin by any means. With season on the lines the two sides will be going hard at in the second half.

3.39pm

Warrack lead 39-34 at three-quarter time of the A Grade netball.

3.27pm

Two-minutes two go in the first half with Stawell continuing to open up a handy lead.

Stawell 7.8 (50) to Demons 5.5 (35)

And that’s how it sits at half time.

3.24pm

Warrack still hold the lead at half time in the A Grade netball but it is a close contest.

3.21pm

Stawell transition well from half-back with a passage of handballs which ends with a Tom Eckel goal. Bit of a lead now but not really.

23-minutes gone in the second quarter.

Over in the netball Warrack have a slender lead over Stawell in the second quarter.

James Delahunty kicks one more for Stawell in the footy and the lead changes hands for the third time this quarter.

Stawell 5.6 (36) to Demons 5.4 (34)

3.14pm

The games starting to open up a bit more as the scoreboard ticks over. Shane Field slots a set shot and we have a four-point ball game again.

Demons 5.4 (34) to Stawell 4.6 (30)

3.12pm

Bit of scuffling in Horsham’s forward pocket before Pekin pounces on a loose ball in the goal square and send the ball cannoning into the goal umpire.

Demons 4.4 (28) to Stawell 3.6 (24)

Luke Carr kicks another for the Demons shortly after.

Horsham 2.1 (13) to Stawell 1.1 (7)

2.35pm

Simon Hobbs dobs the first goal of the game on the run. A few players are sliding around in a couple of damp patches on the ground. How much will that impact the game.

Horsham 1.1 (7) to Stawell 0.1 (1)

Nick Pekin follows up after Joel Gueue hits him lace out to put the Demon’s two goals up

Horsham 2.1 (13) to Stawell 0.1 (1)
