Rams A-grade showed why they are top of the table, with another good win over Barooga.
They had a slightly slow start and appeared to have a tough battle on their hands early on in the game.
After a couple of positional switches, Deni was able to run away with it.
The Rams boasted both experience and youth, with Elle Panton celebrating her 200th senior game.
The depth and capability of the netballers across the entire club was on show with 16 year-old Mia Parks making her A-grade debut and 15 year-old Bonnie Everett defending well.
Amelia Seignior was her reliable strong self, running out the game in three different positions to show versatility and dominance.
Young gun Chloe Way was able to showcase her versatility and was an asset in defence, able to change her vision and adapt her game when needed.

Under-17s: Deni Rams 42 def Barooga 23.
It was a slow start this week.
Although the game wasn’t the prettiest to watch, we managed to keep our score ticking over and take the win.
Hannah Hetherington set the tone from defence this week, taking numerous intercepts through the midcourt in wing defence.
She also combined well with Phoebe Jefferies in the defensive circle.
Emma Parks joined the ranks this week from under-15s and put out a strong consistent four quarters. Emma’s drives from defence to attack was a highlight.
Ava Robinson put out a strong four quarters of netball too. She shot with good accuracy, but it was her movement through the game that created space and opportunities.
A huge congratulations to Mia Parks this week. Mia clocked up her 100th game for the club and made her A-grade debut.
