Siobhan Sefton (Terang Mortlake) and Monique Sefton (Koroit) both played in the match, with the duo directly lining up on each other in the last quarter.

While Siobhan switched from centre to wing attack, Monique was wing defence. It wasn't the first time the pair have come up against each other.

"I've played against her quite a bit over the last couple of years since she's been at South (Warrnambool) and Koroit,'' Siobhan said.

"It's quite funny. We have a bit of fun on the court and don't take it too seriously.''

The Sefton's cousin, Sally Brown, also played.

"We're all quite close,'' Siobhan said.

"Whenever we play Koroit, the whole family comes to watch.''

She believed the family was treated to an entertaining duel, which the Saints won 41-39.

"It was a really good game,'' she said. "We put in a good effort and weren't too disappointed. They'll be the hardest team (to beat).''

Study and work commitments will limit the amount of matches Siobhan is able to play this season.

The Bloods' midcourt gun is studying an exercise and sports science/physical education teaching double degree at university in Melbourne, where she also works.

She has played five out of the seven games in 2009.

"I'm just trying to get home when I can,'' she said. "I'm finding it hard not training and being a bit out of touch but I've played with all the girls the last few years, so it's easy enough to slide back into the team.''

YOU'VE probably seen the film Wedding Crashers, but have you heard about the south-west's infamous new 'ball crashers'?

A few weeks ago, a group of netballers from Merrivale frocked up and then rocked up to an opposition club's ball - the biggest night on every club's social calendar.

The ladies received a warm welcome, prompting plans to make a habit of showing up to both Hampden league and Warrnambool and District league clubs' night of nights.
