Match Reviews | There were upsets aplenty across the netball courts in week two of the Bendigo Bank Heathcote DFNL finals series.

Biggest upset was in the A-grade second semi-final on Saturday where Elmore dominated play against White Hills at Pigeon Park in Heathcote’s Barrack Reserve.

In a season where it had beaten Elmore by 38 goals and drawn the other, White Hills started favourite to progress in its pursuit of back-to-back premierships.

It was not to be as the Allira Holmes and Gabe Richards-coached Elmore dominated play.

The Bloods applied a lot of pressure from the first contest and did not let up.

By the final siren it was Elmore which led 64-40 and first to qualify for the September 7 grand final at Huntly’s Strauch Reserve.

Stung by such a big defeat the Lauren Bowles-coached White Hills has little time to regroup for next Saturday’s preliminary final.

The Demons will fight to keep their season alive when they play Colbinabbin at Toolleen Recreation Reserve.
