The carnival opened with a tough match against Oakdale, where both teams were neck and neck early on. Oakdale pulled ahead in the second quarter through strong defensive pressure, with RMNA going down 11–26. Game two against Southern Hills followed a similar pattern—an even first quarter was disrupted by missed opportunities, despite some excellent defensive work, resulting in a narrow 13–17 loss.

Great Southern Gold proved a challenging opponent in game three, taking control early and capitalising on turnovers to finish with a 16–20 win. Against Mid Hills, RMNA had a promising start, but simple errors proved costly, leading to a 12–28 defeat.

In game five against Hills, both teams came out firing, with scores locked at the break. A short lapse in the second half allowed Hills to gain momentum and edge ahead 16–21.

The final match against Great Southern Green saw the girls finish on a high. A strong start, backed by relentless defensive pressure and accurate shooting, saw RMNA take a four-goal lead at halftime. They continued that form into the second quarter to secure a well-earned 20–15 win.

Overall, it was a solid day of learning and growth. The girls adapted well to new combinations and began to gel as a team. With plenty of positives to build on, we’re looking forward to seeing their continued development and improvement at the upcoming Woodside Carnival.
