WEEKEND SCOREBOARD

Horouta Koura shooter Lexi Rutene and Ngatapa goal keep Alex Megaw in an aerial duel for the ball during a Premier Grade netball game in the YMCA on Saturday. Horouta won 52-24. While these players had the relative comfort of an indoors setting, other sports had to battle the elements of a miserable winter’s day in the district. Picture by Liam Clayton
