The most anticipated game of the season so far will take place between junior teams Dimboola Kangaroos and Nhill Leopards, who are both undefeated this year. These teams both seem unstoppable and the match on the weekend could be a taste of what to expect in the grand final. Kangaroos have many fierce attackers such as Nathan Jorgensen and James and Elizabeth Klinge and with such a diverse range of talent shooting at goal the Leopards defenders will find it difficult. The Leopards, however, have key attackers such as Tom Cook, Adrian Creek and Oscar Stephan. They also boast Natalie Jones, who is constantly improving and will be on fire after scoring 3 goals last week. With so much talent in both sides, it will be a matter of the best teamwork as to which team prevails.
In the men’s competition, the rivalry between Horsham Hurricanes and Warracknabeal Hoops will be set to continue in Warracknabeal on Saturday. Hurricanes will come off a disappointing win to top side Tigers last week and will be looking for some more points as the finals near. The Hoffman brothers, Stuart and Jordan, will be key attackers for the Hurricanes, along with young gun Lachlan Zordan. However, Hoops are a win ahead of Hurricanes this year and with experienced players such as Paul Slater and Shane Langman, they will be a hard side to beat.
In a game sure to be interesting, Kaniva once again takes on the Nhill Thunderbirds. Nhill started the year strong, winning the first four matches, but it took the young Kaniva side to stop their winning run. Nhill will be determined to win this week, to show that they are still a serious team, after a humiliating 5-0 loss to Warracknabeal last week. Kaniva is also a team that started the year well, but seem to have faded as the year has progressed. Thunderbirds have skilled attackers Grace McLeod and Bridie Kennedy; however Kaniva also has capable attackers in Rachel Clark and Sharon Williams. This game will be a chance for both teams to show that they are real threats in this competition and the final result is sure to be tight.
In another junior match, lower ladder placed teams Warriors and Kookaburras will play a close match. These teams have won the same amount of games this year and will be hoping to advance their position. Warriors have players such as Erin Blackwood and Jess Wheaton in defence that will make it hard for Kookaburras attack, including Cara Elsom and Bethany Terry. The teams will both be eager for an encouraging win this week, with neither team realistically looking to the finals this year.
In other matches, Yanac and Dimboola women face each other, Bandits at home will be looking for an easy win over Bombers, Highlanders will have a hard task to beat the improving Warracknabeal women’s side and Yanac Tigers should overcome the Dimboola men’s team.
