The Seagulls came up against the Hampden White team and had an unexpected three-goal win.

The Hampden White and Hampden Green teams are considered the best teams in the competition but Port Fairy has now thrown its hat into the ring as a potential finalist.

The team has two wins from two games, having defeated the South West District League team in the opening round.

Port Fairy's win over the star-studded Hampden White team was even more impressive considering it only had seven players, with star performers Emily Forrest, Steph Watson and Sarah Moroney missing. While the Seagulls were depleted, Hampden White boasted a mix of stars from a number of Hampden league clubs, including Stacey O'Sullivan, Kate Butler, Sarah Hearn and Maddie Smedts.

A strong start from Port Fairy gave it a four-goal lead at quarter-time before Hampden White hit back to lead by one at half-time.

A 12-4 third quarter from Port Fairy proved to be the game's big moment and despite Hampden White coming home strongly, Port Fairy hung on to win 41-38.

The Seagulls kept a stable line-up throughout the night and had winners across the court.

The defence was made up of Stacey Ralph (goal keeper), Rebekah Moroney ((goal defence) and Maddie Dalton (wing defence).

Up forward Mandy Knee (goal attack), Anastasia Hamil (goal shooter) and Marni Perry (wing attack) ensured the Seagulls maintained scoreboard pressure.

Veteran Nicole Dwyer was again the driving force with a strong game from the centre .

Port Fairy coach Bev Bourke admitted she did not go into the game with expectations of victory.

"I was probably thinking that if we could stay close and get within 10 goals we would have done OK," Bourke said.

"But the girls played really well. Our bookends were brilliant, our defenders did a fantastic job and our shooters got the goals in which makes a big difference.

"What this win will do is give the girls some more self belief that they can mix it with anyone."

She downplayed her team's chances of making the finals.

"We entered this competition to get some really good match training and to gain more experience against good players.

"We will continue to keep that as our aim and let the results take care of themselves."
