After a positive start which saw them trailing 1-0 at quarter-time, the game gradually slipped from their grasp.

Spitfires defender Sherren Rahaley couldn't fault the effort of the group.

"A few recent games in Canberra we've had a really slow start, so that was a key focus and I think we did that really well," she said.
"I think we ran out of legs towards the end, they're a quality side with some strong forwards and they were able to overrun us."
