Given the longer game times, the girls had to dig deep.

Half-time had Wagga ahead by two goals. Ava Pritchett proved her selection spot in the team with her shooting and she wasn't afraid to take the long-range goals. Barellan's defence worked hard and the centre court didn't give up.

The final score had the Barellan team go down, 58-36, but there were many positives to take from the result.

Coach Georgia Fuller was pleased with how well the side performed over the weekend.

"Our girls showed improvement over the weekend and really gelled well together as a team," she said.

"It is going to be exciting to see how they perform at their future carnivals in the lead up to state."

Barellan also had junior teams attending a gala event at the same location, saying it was pleasing to have the support of their younger sides on the day.
