Match Previews | STRATHFIELDSAYE Storm steps on to the court at Queen Elizabeth Oval on Sunday to play Sandhurst in the match to complete Indigenous Round for A-grade netball in the Bendigo Bank Bendigo FNL season.
The Storm and Dragons match will start at 1pm as teams contest a round to mark the contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to country and sport.
It will be a huge test for the Jess Mangan-coached Strathfieldsaye which is fifth on the ladder following a 54-goal win against Broadford at Triple M Park in Tannery Lane the previous round.
Storm is against a formidable opponent which is third in the premiership race and outpointed South Bendigo to win the match on Graeme Wright Memorial Day by 13 goals.
Several of the stars in the Tamara Gilchrist-coached Sandhurst team were on the QEO court for last Saturday’s inter-league victory against Ovens and Murray.
Indigenous Round starts on Saturday with a 2pm start time for Broadford’s home game against Gisborne at Harley Hammond Reserve.
The Jaimie Hooper-coached Broadford will be working to hard to raise the pressure, especially in mid-court and defence.
Gisborne’s latest hit-out ended in a 27-goal win on its court at Melbourne North Truck Centre Oval in Gardiner Reserve against Eaglehawk.
