TRENTHAM (55) def CAMPBELLS CREEK (35)
Trentham steadily cleared away from Campbells Creek after quarter time on Saturday to win by 20 goals.
Coming in to the encounter, it looked to be a fascinating game between two teams separated by one game on the ladder, and the opening term suggested it would be a tight affair as Trentham led by two goals at the opening change, scoring 12 goals to 10. Zahlia Turton scored 10 of the Saints’ goals, while Jacqui Bell added two, while for Campbells Creek, Lillie Wrigley scored seven goals, and Mollie Kennedy three.
Trentham super-sub Tarnee Hammond came on to do the damage in the second term, and she was a major factor in the Saints moving seven goals clear by half time, after scoring 14 goals to nine, 26-19. Hammond scored 12 of the Saints’ goals, while Turton added two more. For Campbells Creek, Wrigley scored seven and Kennedy two.
It was the third quarter where Trentham were able to essentially seal the game, scoring at a very economical pace, and finishing with 14 goals to six to move 15 goals clear at the last change, 40-25. Hammond scored eight goals, and Bell six, while for Campbells Creek, Wrigley scored five goals, and Tarni Williams scored one goal.
The Saints ran out the game strongly, scoring 15 goals to 10 to eventually take all four quarters, both simultaneously keeping them in the top eight, as well as in touch with the top four, with their third win of the season. Hammond scored 11 goals to finish with 31, while Turton scored four goals to finish with 18.
For Campbells Creek, who now have the tricky task of facing Avoca, Wrigley scored eight goals to finish with 27 goals, while Kennedy scored two goals.
