The side wishes Georgia Payne and Lana Van Heerden a speedy recovery. Standouts for the Redbacks were Paris Slater dominating the game in the ruck, and Aliesha Alford running hard off the half back line and tackling well. The midfielders were consistent and solid again, but all of the girls played fantasticly as a team, stuck to the plan and kept focused on the game.
