Luton Dunstable & District Netball League round-up

Diamonds gallantly took to court with only five players as Lauren Smit stepped into attack alongside regular centre Chloe Beggie as Diamonds snatched an 8-4 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Regular Dunstable shooter Mel Calender appeared during the interval, but changes strengthened Saracens’ centre court.

Defender Danielle Smart also made a huge impression as Saracens surged into a 13-11 lead.

Dunstable’s determination shone through in the third quarter as Gemma Beggie dominated all three thirds of the court, easily turning over inaccurate passes and feeding accurately into the circle as Diamonds retook the lead at 18-17. The final quarter went almost goal for goal as Saracens attacker Kelly Hair pounced on any loose or wayward balls to edge Barnfield to victory.
