Blockbuster clash awaits

A top of the table blockbuster awaits netball fans this weekend when unbeaten Geelong Netball League teams Colac and Newtown & Chilwell meet at Central Reserve, Colac.

Colac has been particularly impressive this season with a huge percentage, but the Eagles will be the Tigers’ biggest challenge so far.

Fresh from an 85 to 16 drubbing St Albans, defender Indya Forde, Zara Walters, Michelle Winch were dominant for the Tigers.

Newtown & Chilwell had a much tougher assignment against St Joseph’s, but defeated the third-placed team 62 to 41.

Goalshooter Uneeq Palavi was unstoppable under the ring with 51 goals while Zanna Woods was busy in the front half of the court.

Joeys won’t be too concerned about the loss, but will know it has work to do to challenge the top two sides.

Tori Honner and Charlotte Todd were best for St Joseph’s.

Geelong West sits two games clear in fourth spot thanks to a 64 to 38 win against Bell Park.

Alahria Smith, Meg Matthews and goal attack Meaghan Kilderry got the job done as the Giants increased their lead at every change.

South Barwon stayed in touch with the top five with a 68 to 43 win against Lara.

The Swans are percentage outside the five while Lara has a lot of work to do to play finals despite being a game and percentage outside the five.

Goal attack Matilda Pickett was best for South Barwon, which was challenged by the Cats in the first half, before pulling away for a comfortable win.

St Mary’s held onto fifth spot with a commanding 77 to 18 win against the winless Grovedale.

Demi Grant, Mia Aitken and Eliza Brown blitzed for St Mary’s, which has a week off this week thanks to a bye.
