The Workforcexs Lady Cobras started the weekend with an 11 point win over the Bendigo Lady, the first quarter saw Kilsyth take a slender two point lead into the first change and they then extended their lead to 10 at half time after a 21-13 quarter.

Bendigo Lady Braves cut back the margin after a good third quarter, with the Workforcexs Lady Cobras only seven points up with one quarter to go. The last quarter however Kilsyth made sure that they came away with the win extending their lead by four points to come away 71-60 winners.

Sam Drescher (20pts, 10rbds) was the best with a double-double, Brittany Renton (17pts, 8rbds) and Jenna Verhoef Jenkins (11pts) were the other players to reach double figures.

Sunday afternoon however did not play out the same way with Knox defeating Kilsyth for the third time this season. The Workforcexs Lady Cobras managed to stay in touch during the first half trailing by just seven points at the first break then nine at half time.

However the Knox Lady Raiders blew Kilsyth out of the water during the third quarter 27-14 to take a 22 point lead going into the last quarter. Though the Workforcexs Lady Cobras battled hard in the last they could not cut back the margin, going down in a high scoring contest 99-75.
