NORADJUHA-QUANTONG all but secured second place on the ladder with a come-from- behind win against Edenhope- Apsley on Saturday.
The Bombers trailed by six goals at three-quarter-time but stormed to a three-goal victory at Quantong.
Coach Rebecca McIntyre said her side trailed most of the match.
"We didn't play our best until the last quarter and we produced a nine-goal turn around," she said.
"It was tight. We were able to capitalise on Edenhope's mistakes in the last quarter and turn them into goals.
"We took intercepts and put pressure on in the last quarter and came out by three goals."
McIntyre said experience and having a full side to choose from had helped secure the win.
"We pulled together and fought hard. We have a little more experience - Edenhope- Apsley is a really young side," she said.
McIntyre said the whole side played well but Sammi Bird and Rachel Pipkorn were outstanding in defence.
She also praised the efforts of junior Abbie Avery who stepped up to A Grade to play wing attack at the weekend.
"She has proven she can mix it with A Grade level," McIntyre said.
"She's doing really well. Her netball has improved and she is really outstanding. We're lucky to have her."
Ellie Thomas and Sarah Vanzini performed best for the Saints.
