Laharum kicks off season right, KLU return with victory | HDFNL round one

Laharum were dominant through the opening phases of the match.

An early goal for Pimpinio showed signs of a fight but Laharum took control and strode away.

Liv Story-Jones controlled the centre court, with the ball rarely making into Pimpinio's forward third until late in the opening quarter.

And, Caitlin Story-Jones and Maddie Iredell proved too strong under the ring.

Late in the term, Pimpinio began finding paths through to the net, and Lana Ellis took control inside the ring but Laharum led by 14 at the first break.

Pimpinio kept finding scoring opportunities in the second quarter, adding 11 goals, but the side was still outpaced by a warmed up the Demons outfit.

For much of the third quarter, Laharum had control.

The midcourt was hard to beat and when the Demons got close to the ring, the side was ruthless, playing with a sixth sense of knowing where their teammate would be for each pass.

Ada Biney was brought into the court for Lana Ellis a few times through the match and provided the Tigers with some extra energy as an offensive target, and she added several points late.

But, at the final break Pimpinio still trailed by 26 goals and Laharum held control through the final quarter to win 71-33.
