Match Previews | Just three weeks in, Colbinabbin faces a crucial contest in this Saturday’s round of A-grade netball in the Bendigo Bank Heathcote DFNL competiton.

Runner-up last season, Colbinabbin will fight to avoid a nil-three start when it plays Heathcote from 2.30pm.

The Jen McIntyre-coached Grasshoppers have home-court advantage at M.J. Morgan Oval.

It’s been a testing start for the green and gold which played Elmore in the first round and a vastly-improved Leitchville-Gunbower at Gunbower last round.

Defeats by margins of five and eight goals will not have the Hoppers reaching for the panic button just yet.

What Colbo does need is four premiership points to start its climb toward the top three on the ladder.

A talented Colbinabbin line-up includes goaler Matilda and Grace McIntyre, Ella Turnbull and Macey McCaig.

Heathcote has made a strong start.
