Western Jets in round two NAB League thriller

Western Jets and the Murray Bushrangers played out a thrilling draw in the NAB League Girls competition on Saturday.

Looking to captialise on a strong round one performance, the Jets were pushed throughout by the Bushrangers, in what would be a low-scoring affair.

Scores were level at the first two breaks, with the sides kicking three goals each.

The Bushrangers scored in the third quarter, adding 1.1 to take a seven-point lead into the last change.

The Knights kicked a point early in the final quarter to bring the margin back to a goal.

Caitilin Sargent kicked a goal in the 10th minute of the last quarter to level the scores. Neither team could find the winning kick, with scores finishing 4.3 (27) apiece.

Sargent and Laura Elliott kicked two goals apiece for the Jets. Star midfielder Isabelle Pritchard was outstanding for the Jets, with 26 possessions and seven tackles.

It comes after 18 possessions in round one.

Montana Ham and Charlotte Baskaran also had plenty of the ball for the Jets in the draw.

The Jets sit fourth on the ladder, after a win in round one.

The top three teams are all undefeated.

The Jets travel to Ballarat this weekend to face the Greater Western Rebels on Saturday morning.
