KONGORONG V KALANGADOO
Mid South East netball heads into its second half of the season on Saturday, with Kalangadoo making the trip to Kongorong to face off against the Hawks.
Kalangadoo defenders Lauren Kain and Lara Munro work hard in the circle, fighting for any rebounds.
Kongorong goalies Tilah Buckingham and Evie Sealey have proven to be strong under the post and accurate within the circle, but will need to fight for every ball under the pressure of the Magpie’s defenders.
Rach Perry and Chloe Peacock will fight hard through the court for every ball, being influential for their respective sides throughout the game.
Emily Lightbody and Riley Buckingham combine well in the defensive circle for the Hawks, but will need to stop the ball before it reaches the hands of Ebony McDiarmid in the goal circle, needing to shut down Abbey Duncan from outside.
Kalangadoo will come away with the win, but Kongorong will keep the pressure on for the whole game.
ROBE V TANTANOOLA
Robe hosts Tantanoola as they face off again after a tight game earlier in the season. Tantanoola’s Kate Varcoe and Robe’s Annie Regnier will fight hard from the first whistle for their respective teams, working up and down the court to create turnovers and chase up any loose balls.
Tantanoola defenders Kate Bromley and Tayla Rowe combine well in the circle, getting hands to balls and creating turnovers.
That will mean Robe’s Tori Gluyas and Demi Carter will need to move well and be fed with accuracy from outside the circle.
At the other end of the court, Tantanoola goalies Emma Gould and Keryl Ousey are able to use their height to their advantage in the circle, but will have a lot of pressure applied from Robe’s Emma Wheal and Ellen Ramke.
This game has the potential to be close and went the way of the Roosters in Round 1, but both teams have the potential to come away with the points.
MOUNT BURR V NANGWARRY
Mount Burr host Nangwarry this weekend after two weeks off.
Both teams will come out firing, fighting hard for every possession.
Ebony Clark and Lauren Wheeler have proven to work well together in the circle for the Mozzies, with both being accurate throughout the circle and fighting hard for possession.
The defensive pressure of Kayla Gray and Carly Ploenges for the Saints will make it hard for Mount Burr’s attack line to feed into the circle, creating turnovers where possible. Nangwarry’s Cassie Dinnison is able to feed into goalies Hayley Vanderhorst and Thalia Wilson with ease.
The pressure from Mount Burr’s Megan Thiele and Olivia Dean will make it hard to feed into the circle, getting hands to balls and rebounding any missed opportunities.
This game will likely go the way of the Mozzies, however Nangwarry will not go down without a fight.
GLENCOE V PORT MACDONNELL
After a close game in Round 1, both Glencoe and Port MacDonnell will fight hard to get the win this weekend at Glencoe.
Port MacDonnell’s Alysha Coon and Alana Berkefeld work well together and create a lot of turnovers in the defensive circle for the Demons, meaning that Glencoe’s goalies Jenna Paproth and Chantelle Cocks will need to ensure their accuracy and continue to move well with each other.
Glencoe defenders Sarah Edwards and Chelsea Owen will fight hard to limit the opportunities of the Demons goalies, Kori Collins and Megan Hein.
Liza Mutch and Shannon Scheidl will work hard through the mid-court for Port MacDonnell, fighting hard for every ball under the pressure of Donna Jaeschke and Alice Tentye.
This game has the potential to go either way and could be a close one once again.
