A draw between the City West Falcons and the Geelong Cougars seemed a somewhat fitting first game in the return to Victorian Netball League championship action.
A goal by Jane Cook in the final seconds decided the result.
It was the first time teams have taken to the court in 18 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Falcons coach Marg Lind said she was happy with the 55-55 draw against a side with many former Falcons players.
She said it was pretty surreal to be back out there coaching in match for points.
“It was pretty tricky,” she said.
