Premiers pounce on Leongatha

REIGNING premier Traralgon showed no signs of rust in its Gippsland League A grade netball opener against Leongatha.

The Maroons made short work of the Parrots 59-37 at the Traralgon Recreation Reserve to start the title defence in style.

Mid court players Stacey O’Brien (centre), Alyce Stockdale (WA) and premiership coach Kate French (WD) controlled the tempo and strangled Leongatha’s supply.

Morwell, Moe and Drouin all kicked off their seasons with resounding wins over Wonthaggi, Warragul and Bairnsdale respectively.
