Quantock 34, Neptune 28

NEPTUNE matched Quantock goal for goal in a tight first quarter which finished level.

Somerset Division 3

Highfield 42, Mars 16

MARS faced blustery conditions but Alicia Clapp and Becky Kennard managed to score five in the first quarter.

Highfield took control of the game and started to pull away, leading 19-9 at halfway.

Defenders Emily Smith and Amy Miller worked tirelessly with support from Ella Smith to try keep Highfield from scoring and Kate Bancroft worked hard to pass the balls into the Mars shooters.

Highfield were too strong, however, and took the victory from a tired Mars team who really put their all into every quarter.
