In Netball, Monbulk and ROC (Rythdale Officer Cardinia) have had some titanic struggles over the last few years and today’s meeting was no different. The seventh-placed Hawks took on the equal second ROC and it was to be a strong second term that established the game-breaking difference for Monbulk as they eventually ran out winners by an impressive 8 goals.
