Aritfex Shoot past Meraki in a big win….

Division Two

ARTIFEX 47 MERAKI 11

ARTIFEX took an early lead they would not relinquish thanks to outstanding shooting from debut player Madison Carter (GS), who was also named Umpires’ Player of the Match in their 47-11 win.

Meraki’s attack worked hard but struggled against strong defence from Artifex’s Rhiannon Carter (WD), allowing Artifex to push further ahead.

Artifex ramped up the pressure around Meraki’s D to limit their scoring opportunities.

Meraki refused to give up, with Vicki Potts (WA) and Kath Clay (C) finding space to feed into their shooters, however they were unable to make the most of these scoring opportunities as Artifex pulled further ahead.

Both teams showed great tactical play in the final quarter, with rigid defence meeting relentless attack from both sides.

However, Artifex showed why they are top of their division with each player doing their part to keep the game flowing and ultimately triumph.

NMP upped their defensive pressure with good marking and well-timed interceptions, limiting WJNC’s scoring opportunities to carve out a small lead.
