Midas Touch and Enchanted also produced a tight game, with Midas Touch securing a 13–12 victory. The match was defined by patient build-up play and consistent teamwork, with both teams staying level for much of the game before a late goal separated them.
Another close fixture saw Netspresso Martinis edge past Court Queens 8–7. It was a low-scoring but well-fought match, with both teams working hard defensively and making the most of limited chances in the shooting circle.
The Most Valuable Player award this week went to Natasha Humphreys of Court Queens. Despite the narrow result, her performance stood out for its consistency and work rate across the court, contributing significantly to her team’s efforts.
