Weekly Advertiser | Kalkee and Edenhope-Apsley are set to reprise their thrilling one-goal qualifying final clash in this weekend’s Horsham District A Grade netball preliminary final at Kaniva.

The Kees were consigned to the preliminary final after a 52-34 loss to minor premier Rupanyup in Saturday’s second semi-final at Kalkee, while the Saints overcame Noradjuha-Quantong 50-40 on Sunday to earn a chance at redemption.

With the game set to be played exactly two weeks after Kalkee’s epic 45-44 qualifying final win – decided by Kee goalie Casey Rentsch’s match-winning shot with six seconds remaining – Saint coach Lavinia Fox said she knew her side was in for a tough battle.

“Kalkee plays such a clean brand of netball and I know it’s going to be a fantastic game. I think we’re all looking forward to being a part of it and giving it our best shot,” she said.

“We were slow to come out of the blocks in that first final, so for us it’s just about bringing that intensity from the first whistle.

“It’s just playing with almost that fear that it could be your last game of netball for the season and making the most of every opportunity and fighting for the win.”
