Allstars again had the better of Kojonup in the Katanning Netball Association A-grade competition on Saturday, while Olympians claimed a hard-fought win in round nine.

Allstars and Kojonup, who met last year in a tight grand final game that saw Allstars claim the 2025 premiership, have remained top of the A-grade ladder all season.

The two teams clashed in round four, with Allstars coming out on top, and Kojonup failed to mount a challenge in their second meeting at the weekend.

They went goal for goal at the start of the first quarter, but Allstars carved out a slim lead with shooters Melita Davey and Lara Rodney shooting the last four goals of the term to give Allstars an eight-goal advantage by the first change.

Both sides added 13 goals to their haul in the second quarter as Kojonup worked to keep step with Allstars and make up for a slower start, but Allstars outscored them in the third term, strengthening their lead ahead of the final quarter.
