Top four clashes in netball

The game was reasonably close through the opening quarter, but the Grasshoppers asserted dominance from there, making a statement on their title aspirations.

In the second vs third match-up, Mount Pleasant prevailed 55-42, securing its top-two status for at least this week.

North Bendigo won the lower table clash with Heathcote 55-39.

The Bulldogs outplayed the Saints across the four quarters to earn them best of the rest status among the bottom four.

Another top-four clash looms next week with Colbinabbin to face off against Huntly, while Mount Pleasant takes the week off with the bye.

Lockington looks to break its duck against North Bendigo and Heatchote takes on White Hills, while Leitchville-Gunbower encounters Elmore.
