Accies maintained top spot in Division 3 with a convincing 62–25 win over St Lawrence D, continuing their impressive debut season in the senior league. A fast start saw both sides play with intent, but Accies quickly found their rhythm.

The Accies midcourt took control in the second period, moving the ball with pace and precision to feed shooters Ava Huish, Zoe Morales and Barley Vibert. Their accuracy in front of goal extended the lead to 27–15 at half-time, with Kacey O’Connor influential through the centre court and later named Accies’ players’ player.
Positional changes after the break kept Accies sharp and they stretched their advantage to 43–22 by the end of the third quarter. Malory’s commanding display earned her player of the match, while Caroline Rodrigues impressed for St Lawrence as they battled throughout despite the final margin.

At the other end, Harriet St Pier impressed at goal keeper, while Lisette Grenyer (GD) delivered a strong defensive display to earn St Ouen’s player of the match.
