Nagambie will be eager to get its season back on track after suffering a first up loss to arch rival and reigning premier Avenel last week.
The Lakers’ task doesn’t get any easier today when it confronts a young Stanhope team fresh from victory against Murchison-Toolamba.
Sharni Lloyd, Katie Sullivan and Rachael Mundy are all proud players and make no mistake they will be driving the team to rebound after the 18-goal loss to the Swans.
The Lions had to work extremely hard to shake off a determined challenged from Murchison-Toolamba.
Coach Kerrie Gray has always been brave as a coach, throwing some of her younger players in the deep end to play in A-grade. One of the girls set to get plenty of court time this year is agile goaler Abbey Coleman.
Merrigum will be brimming with confidence after a first-up win against arch rival Lancaster.
New playing coach Katie Cordingley made the best possible start and she knows that this game against Murchison-Toolamba is winnable.
The Grasshoppers coach Phil Bryant will be reasonably confident his team can build on last week’s admirable performance.
However, he knows that less than four quarters will mean they will slip to a second straight loss.
Violet Town will start favourite to make its two wins on the trot when it travels to Lancaster this afternoon.
The Towners were outstanding in giving Girgarre a netball lesson last week, while the Wombats suffered a rare defeat to its arch rival Merrigum.
New Wombat coach Laura Thomson won’t be too concerned by the wins and losses this year. While she knows it is great to win, she will be keen to bring the next batch of youngsters along quickly to turn them into consistent A-grade players.
Ardmona will out to remain unbeaten when it takes on Rushworth today.
The Cats were very good against Undera last week when the teams shared the spoils.
Andrea Woodward will see this game as a real opportunity to chalk up an early win to help build the confidence.
It is very hard to take too much out of Rushworth’s loss to Tallygaroopna. To be fair to the Tigers, Tallygaroopna will score some big wins this season on the way to a likely top two finish.
The Tigers will fancy themselves in this match if some of their more experienced players can get on top early against the Cats.
Undera will be out to go one better than last week where it played out a 39-all draw with Ardmona.
The Lions face a new looked Longwood, which will be led by Jess Hill. Toni Watson and Kait Carracher are linking with the team and expect them to play key roles for the team at either end of the court.
Lions coach Kate Murphy will be keen to lead by example on the court and if they can get on top early then they should claim the four points.
In the remaining match, first round winner Tallygaroopna takes on Girgarre. This will be a really big task for the Kangaroo girls to combat the all-conquering Redlegs, which features of plenty of experience and class right across the court.
Tips: Tallygaroopna, Undera, Ardmona, Violet Town, Merrigum and Nagambie.
