Warby is the biggest improver so far this season, with shooter Karly Wappett scoring 33 goals in her team’s victory.
Warby’s goalers looked unstoppable and stretched Monbulk’s defence to win 62-39.

@BT Sport Sub Mail:Kinglake v Seville
SEVILLE has been very impressive this season and further demonstrated their form with a 43-22 goal win.
The side’s centre-court players are proving almost unstoppable once they get their hands on the ball, and their defenders and goalers are supporting them with important rebounds and accuracy on goal.
Polly Hampl, Rachael Goulding (24 goals), Riley Gentle and Stacey Bell led the team’s charge.
Kinglake’s Katherine Pollard, Sally Ann Nott and Tayla Stead did what they could.
@BT Sport Sub Mail:Alexandra v Belgrave
BELGRAVE continues to improve with each game but isn’t managing to play four quarters.
Alexandra managed to fend off a resilient Belgrave to take home the four points and move up the ladder.
The defenders for both sides worked extra hard. Alexandra’s Kathryn Veldman and Emma Kidd, and Belgrave’s Clarisse Chaproniere and Amy Kiker (17 goals) were the game’s standouts.
@BT Sport Sub Mail:Yea v Yarra Junction
Yea fended off a strong and challenging Yarra Junction to win by two goals.
