Mount Burr are at home this week and take on the Hawks.
In their last outing, Mount Burr defeated Robe by 13 goals, while Kongorong were defeated by Port MacDonnell by 16 goals.
Kongorong is on a w winless run, while Mount Burr have showed what they are capable of with some brilliant netball in Round 1.
Mount Burr was well represented in the Senior Country Championship team with Madi Haggett, Heidi Clark and Sarah Nulty all travelling up to Adelaide to represent Mid South East.
Kongorong were also represented with youngster Riley Buckingham making her senior debut at Country Champs and doing her club proud.
After being team-mates over the long weekend, the girls will face off against each other on Saturday.
Mount Burr have strength all over the court, Madi Haggett and Heidi Clark are exciting to watch in defence and will push Kongorong’s goalies and make it difficult for them to score.
Kongorong’s defence line in Emily Lightbody, Riley Buckingham and Ella McIntyre work hard every week for the Hawks but will be no match for Ebony Clark and Sarah Nulty who have been shooting exceptionally well and are well supported by their midcourt feeders.
Mount Burr should have a convincing win.
TANTANOOLA V ROBE
Tantanoola are back at home this week and take on the seasider Roosters.
In the last round of matches the Tigers had a narrow loss against Hatherleigh, going down by just 5 goals while Robe were defeated by Mount Burr by 13 goals.
Tantanoola have found some very good form and consistency, currently sitting in 4th spot on the ladder after Round 1.
Their attack line has been impressive, with Emma Gould and Jami Walker playing brilliantly together in the goal circle.
They are well supported by Vic Lucas and Casey Walker who feed their goalies with pinpoint accuracy.
Their defence line of Kate Bromley and Tayla Rowe have also been impressive, with Tayla representing Mid South East in the 17 and Under competition at Country Champs last weekend.
They will match up well against Robe goalies Sarah Laurie and Tori Gluyas.
The Roosters goalies have combined well together this year, with Sarah also gaining valuable experience representing Mid South East in the Senior side for the first time at the weekend.
Robes defence line of Georgia Perkins and Alannah Campbell have been consistent, getting their hands to many balls.
They will make Gould and Walker work for every goal.
Shooting accuracy will be important in the outcome of this game, Tant should take the points and continue their good momentum.
NANGWARRY V HATHERLEIGH
Nangwarry are at home this week against the Eagles and will be keen to get back into it after having the bye and then the long weekend.
Nangwarry have had just the one win in the first round while Hatherleigh have gone from strength to strength and are playing terrific netball.
Hatherleigh held on against Tantanoola in their last outing, getting the 5 goal win.
Hatherleigh led by just 1 goal at 3⁄4 time but managed to hold on.
Hatherleigh had 2 representatives in the Senior Country Championships side, with Sarah Faulkner and Tegan Merrett representing their club.
Sarah was named in the Top 10 Team, a fantastic effort.
The Eagles have strength all over the court, Maddie Pulmer is strong in goals and combines well with Lacey Haines who represented Mid South East in the 17 & Under team at the weekend.
They will be up against the Saints Hayley Vanderhorst and Carly Ploenges who give their all every week but Hatherleigh should win this tough battle.
Eagles defence line of Maddie Redman and Sarah Broadhead have been in great form and will make the Saints goalies earn every goal they get.
Hatherleigh should have a big win and take the points against a determined Nangwarry.
PORT MACDONNELL V GLENCOE
Port MacDonnell take on Glencoe at home this week.
Port Mac are coming off a 16 goal win against Kongorong in the last round of matches, while Glencoe had a surprisingly large loss to Kalangadoo going down by 35 goals.
Port MacDonnell have had 2 wins in the first round of matches while Glencoe have slipped out of the 4, currently sitting in 5th spot on the ladder.
Glencoe defeated Pt Mac in the first round and will be looking to regain some form and push back into the top 4 on the ladder.
Morgan Amy and Lisa McGregor have been consistent for the Bay in defence and while the Demons have not had many wins they have made opposition goalies earn their goals.
They will need to be on their toes again this week against Glencoe’s Caitlin Hentschke and Laura Edwards who are ably fed by Donna Jaeschke and Ashlea Edwards.
Brooke Williams for the Bay has been a focal point with her accurate shooting.
She will have a good match up against Glencoe’s Sarah Edwards whose athleticism and ability to read the play makes her dangerous in defence.
Glencoe will be desperate for the win to add to their points tally and should get the win against a determined Pt Mac.
KALANGADOO HAS THE BYE.
