If there's a genuine rivalry in today's Central ABL, it's between Norwood and North.

Along with Forestville, the Flames and Rockets have been the standout teams of the competition in the past two seasons, and there's no hiding the passion generated when the two clubs clash.

After North won last year's Grand Final, Norwood claimed first blood this season with a 97-95 win in round two and North will be looking to square the ledger this Saturday at Hillcrest.

"This game there's always a bit more to it, I think it's the only game where there's a general dislike between the two teams," North coach Justin Schueller said.
