Gippsland Times | The North Gippsland netball grand final teams have been decided after an incredible preliminary final at the weekend.

After facing each other in the first week of finals, Churchill would once again meet Heyfield, this time in a preliminary final.

Despite going the long way around after losing the qualifying final by a goal, Heyfield had the home court advantage. Wanting to get revenge, the Kangaroos certainly looked the goods coming into the battle, knowing they had beaten the Cougars previously this season.

Heyfield took a slight advantage in the early stages of the match, despite both sides going toe-to-toe in the opening two quarters.

Churchill was first on the board, but it didn’t take long for Heyfield to get the scoreboard back in its favour. After the first two terms, the Kangaroos entered each break with a lead of just a couple of goals.

It was do-or-die for Churchill, who continued to trail in the third term, but things began to get out of hand.
