Match Previews | MAFFRA will contest the 13 & Under Gippsland League netball Grand Final after overcoming Morwell in Saturday’s Preliminary Final at Sale Oval.

The young Eagles secured a 35–28 victory despite trailing by four goals at quarter-time.

Maffra shifted the momentum through key finals performers Emmy Gieschen and Tabbatha Coggan, who continue to lift when it matters most after also being named among the side’s top three players in both the Elimination Final and Semi Final.

Myah Henry was another standout performer in the Preliminary Final.

After drawing level at 14 goals apiece by half-time, the Eagles continued to build across the second half.

The third quarter proved decisive, with Maffra producing an 11-goal-to-six term to establish a five-goal advantage heading into the final period.

Another double-figure quarter ensured the Eagles booked their place in the Grand Final and earned the opportunity to challenge Traralgon’s perfect season.
