Casey Demons have delivered a super-impressive performance by securing a victory over second-placed Boroondara Express in the VNL Championship.

The first quarter was evenly contested, with both teams demonstrating strong defensive and offensive plays.

However, as the game progressed, the Casey Demons began to build momentum, effectively converting turnovers into scoring opportunities and maintaining a relentless focus on capitalising on their centre passes.

Emma Ryde was a standout performer for the Demons, showcasing her scoring prowess with an outstanding 50 goals at an impressive 87-percent accuracy.

Her ability to consistently find the net played a crucial role in the Demons’ victory.

In the centre, Ash Gill provided a steady and reliable presence, expertly feeding the ball and ensuring smooth transitions from defence to attack.

Her performance was instrumental in maintaining the team’s rhythm and flow throughout the match.

Captain Sacha McDonald continued her exceptional form, leading by example and inspiring her teammates with her tenacity and skill.

Her leadership on the court was evident, and she played a pivotal role in the Demons’ success.

Looking ahead, the Casey Demons are set to face the Bendigo Strikers this week.

Their previous encounter was a thrilling contest that ended with a nail-biting one-goal victory for the Demons at the final whistle.
