Our Bendigo Bank Eastern Suns hit the court for a special cause during the Pink Round, proudly presented by CJD Equipment. While results were mixed against the Cockburn Cougars, two standout performances rose above — recognised as this week’s Core Cider House MVPs.
Women’s MVP: Karly Murphy
Back to her dominant best, Karly Murphy (sponsored by Stott Hoare) powered the Suns with a massive double-double. Her inside presence was unmatched, putting up huge numbers in front of a lively home crowd.
Stat Line vs Cougars:
- Minutes: 38:08
- Points: 30

Karly continues to lead by example, showing grit, heart, and hustle when it matters most.
Men’s MVP: Marshall Nelson
Make it two in a row for Marshall Nelson (sponsored by Stott Hoare), who once again displayed a powerful all-around performance. From scoring to defending, Marshall did it all — including going 11/15 under pressure from the free throw line.
Stat Line vs Cougars:
- Minutes: 36:46
- Points: 28
- Rebounds: 11
