Just four weeks after giving birth, two-time league best and fairest Jess Parry made her return to the netball court in round six.

She helped the Grasshoppers to a third consecutive win, beating Maldon at home.

It was a tough few weeks to start the season, but the Grasshoppers toughest week was in round one against Carisbrook.

Navarre managed just seven goals in a difficult opening round to 2018.

The Grasshoppers would have liked to go all the way back to December and re-fixture their start to the season. Their first three rounds were against genuine premiership contenders but since then they have been able to find some form.

Navarre managed to make their way into the top eight after a slow start to the season.

They will be hoping to secure a spot with some more comprehensive wins, boosting their percentage from 71 which it currently sits at.
