Riddell produced a sub-par performance but was able to sneak home against Macedon in Riddell District Netball League on Saturday.
Equal on points before the game, both teams were looking forward to the match to see how they compared with another top side.
And there was little between them all day, the Bombers eventually winning 39-38.
Their coach, Jarrad Walker, was relieved to get the points while disappointed in some regards with the performance.
“Macedon were happy with how they played – it was a physical game,” he said. “You can see they do a lot of training together.
“I wasn’t happy with our game. We made a lot of turnovers and couldn’t get our connections going. This is the type of game we need … we won’t have another until just before the finals.”
Walker said it wasn’t until the last quarter that the Bombers managed to get some flow in their game – but they couldn’t turn it into scoreboard pressure. Despite the disappointment, he saw a lot of positives.
Managing three players with injuries and introducing a new player meant lots of positional changes for Riddell.
Tarryn Munro, who plays in Victorian Netball League division 1, had her first game with the club and will provide another option in the mid-court.
