The under 15 girls contest saw Wangaratta Rovers take on a disciplined North Albury lineup, with the hosts building their lead steadily through consistent ball movement and strong structure.

Wangaratta put in a determined defensive effort, particularly through the middle stages of the match, as they worked hard to contest possession and support one another around the ground.

Despite limited scoring chances, the Rovers maintained their intent and finished the game with a behind in the final quarter.

The outing offered plenty of positives in terms of effort and teamwork as the players continue their development throughout the season.
