Passing down the court and into the shooters was excellent and in the centre position Mel Rose played fantastically. Hurricanes demonstrated some excellent team work in defence and Nicola Renyard played brilliantly at GD, making it difficult for the Falcons shooters. Hurricanes fought hard and should be proud of their performance, but Falcons 2 took the win, 30-23.
