Weekly Advertiser | A hard-fought preliminary final win over Dimboola has set up Horsham Demons to defend its premiership – but it has a monumental task to outplay the undefeated Horsham Saints.

The perennial grand finalists will battle it out for another Wimmera league A Grade premiership at Warracknabeal on Saturday.

But the two teams come into the match having faced vastly different roads.

Horsham Demons has been tested on many fronts this season, losing to not only the Saints, but also Dimboola and Southern Mallee Thunder.

 The Demons have had to fight it out for many wins, but coach Georgie Carberry said that had made them match-fit for anything that was thrown their way.

“I think this year’s competition has been a lot more challenging for the top five and for us especially,” she said.

“We match up against all of the top five really well, and they’ve pushed us – even teams that aren’t in the top five – I think they’ve pushed us as well, which I think is so exciting and so good for the league.
