GVL ǀ Gallery ǀ Dees cruise into second with Echuca dismantling

But a Murray Bombers match-up in round 10 would be a serious challenge to the side’s positive momentum and Kara Blizzard’s side duly delivered.

The Dees cruise into second spot on the ladder with the 14-goal win, while Echuca slips to fifth.

Meanwhile, Rochester has given a red-hot Euroa a scare, going down by six goals to the Magpies at Memorial Oval.

The Tigers’ shooters were exceptional, with Madison Egglestone and Eloise Cuttriss leading the way across the court.

The Magpies fended off a late Rochester surge, converting a handful of midcourt turnovers to hold on and win 53-47.

Euroa’s usual suspects Bree Poole, Karly Wappett and Bridget Hill stood up to see their side over the line.

Seymour’s defensive weapons Courtney Aldous and Sarah Szczykulski were to thank for the Lions’ commanding 51-30 win over Tatura in their round 10 clash.

The ladder-leader proved too strong for a valiant Bulldogs, who managed to outscore the visitor in the final term at Tatura Park.

Tatura’s Molly Kennedy and Taylah Lloyd fought hard for their side in defence, while midcourt magician Elsie Boyer produced another fine performance.

On a positive for the Bulldogs, youngsters Mia Earl and Tayla Albrey-Mills were gifted some precious A-grade game time by coach Fiona Boyer.

In the final match-up on Saturday, Kyabram secured its second win of the campaign with a dominant 69-32 win over Mansfield.

Benalla and Shepparton went head-to-head on Sunday at Benalla, while Shepparton Swans took on Mooroopna in the final match of the round.
