The halves pairing of Jacinta Williams and Taylor Galjaardt looked dangerous, with Galjaardt playing her first game back in over a year.

Yass Magpies v Harden Worhawks, 12pm Saturday 8 May at Walker Park
Looking to make it two wins from two, the Yass Magpies take on the Harden Worhawks in round two at Walker Park.
The Magpies are coming off a dominant round one win, with their attack particularly impressive.

Yass halfback Hollie Massey made her return to the competition, leading the team well around the park and picking up two Best and Fairest points.
Second-rower Shannon Wright picked up three Best and Fairest points for her performance.
After a bye in round one, this will be the first game of the season for the Harden Worhawks.
The Worhawks have a balanced side, with a good mix of experienced and younger players.
Harden player Mellissa Ings will play alongside daughter Hunter for the first time on the weekend. Mellissa played for the Tuggeranong Buffaloes in the KFS competiton last year, but has moved back to Harden this year and now gets the chance to take to the field with her daughter.
Defence will be key for the Worhawks, holding out a strong Yass outfit.
