DESPITE a slow start, the Liskeard Cougars claimed a narrow victory – their first since joining the Plymouth and District Netball League.

End-to-end play and a few crucial misses resulted in a low score at the end of the first quarter, 4-3 in favour of the Plymouth-based Cyan Tigers.

The second quarter saw 'Player of the Match' Katy Brewer move to the goal attack (GA) position and Rachael Congdon to goal defence (GD).

Great pressure and interceptions from debutant goalkeeper Lucy Oldham and great link-up play from Liz Julian kept the scoreline relatively close.
