Set One
(1) T.Ryan, (5) L.Skipper, (10) J.Gordon, (7) H.Shorter, (4) L.Cory, (3) B.Carey, (6) K.Evans (libero)
A passing error starts the game off badly but smart play saw Skipper tip into the middle of the court for Australia’s first point. The Aus’ team’s attack was consistent in putting pressure on the opposition but Longara were an experienced side who were able to find holes in the defense. The team fought to the end but were unable to close the point margin, losing the set 17-25.

Set Two
(1) T.Ryan, (5) L.Skipper, (10) J.Gordon, (7) H.Shorter, (2) N.Bishop, (3) B.Carey, (6) K.Evans (libero)
First point of the set goes to Aus thanks to the pressure of Ryan’s serve and the intimidation of the blockers. The girls kept up with the opposition point for point,with some strong hitting by Skipper and H.Cowell. However, several unforced errors allow the Longara team to edge ahead. Australia were unable to make a steady sideout and therefore the team were constantly chasing lost points. The final score was 12-25.
