Sergeant's impact proves pivotal

Pivotals, who emerged from a Back to Netball session and have grown into a club with qualified coaches and budding umpires, started slowly.

But after trailing 3-2 at the end of the first quarter, they were level by half-time and eased clear in the second half.

Sergeant’s skiful movement and accurate shooting was key.
