The Tigers and the Roos could not be split at the final whistle,   with both teams taking home two points.

It was Nhill’s second draw for the season, after previously tying with Minyip-Murtoa in round five.

Coach Stephanie Jones said she was pleased with all players.

“We were losing to Dimboola and then we finally got the right combination with Emma Smith and Marli Clark in goals,” she said.

“Emma came on at half-time and really popped up our team. 

“She shot unbelievably and only missed two goals for the game.

“Marli also shot amazing in goal attack – her average was about 90 per cent.” Jones said Emma Dickinson stood out in the centre court and was named in the best, along with Clark.

“Overall everyone played well – I couldn’t fault any of them,” she said.

“We’ve got a good combination now and hopefully we will go onto better things.”

Dimboola coach Tahlia Williams said the Roos were far from their best.

“We just had too many mistakes – our passing wasn’t good and we didn’t talk to each other enough. It was a fairly flat game,” she said.

“Hopefully we can rebound at the weekend and get back on the winners’ list.”

Goal-shooter Clark and mid-court player Dickinson were named in the Tigers’ best, while both Williams and goal attack 

Antoinette Toet impressed for the visitors.
