The last of the minor
rounds of the 2012 Subway Cup will be held tonight and Saturday at Netball
SA Stadium and all three matches are vital to the teams taking part.
Two of the matches
will decide the make-up of the 2012 Subway Cup final series and the other
involves a rivalry that has lasted 6 decades.
With three teams still
able to grab fourth spot to and feature in the finals there is sure to be some
tense moments coming up on both Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
Stellar Homes Garville
and ETSA Contax will celebrate 60 years of rivalry with a ‘Rival Revival’
legends match to kick off the round at 6:30pm this evening. The match will feature
past greats from both clubs and will be sure to provide plenty of
entertainment.
Then the serious stuff
begins.
Following the legends
match on court 1 at 7:30pm is the Subway Cup Premier League match between
Stellar Homes Garville and ETSA Contax.
Garville will be
looking to end their season with back-to-back wins and show the rest of the
competition that the currently undefeated ETSA Contax can be beaten going into
the finals. Contax will be trying
to do the opposite and a big win against their long time rivals could boost the
sides intimidation factor, as they look to complete a perfect season.
Lots of attention will be focused towards court 2, also at 7:30pm, as The Royal Cougars take on Woods
Panthers.
The equation is simple
for the Cougars. Win and they will go through to play finals netball, lose and
they won’t. Woods also need to win to go through, they trail the Cougars, who
currently sit in fourth, by a single point on the ladder. However, if Woods win
then they will have an anxious wait to see whether they will be in the
finals.
At 2pm on Saturday
afternoon Spring Gully Newton Jaguars will be up against Health and Life
Phoenix.
A remarkable win for
Garville in round 20 against Woods gave the Jaguars a second chance at the
finals, along with their draw against Contours Matrics. The Jaguars will be
desperate for a big win in this game as percentage could play a big part in
final ladder positions, but first and foremost for the side is a victory.
Phoenix will be looking to regain momentum, as the outcome of this match will
determine if they finish third or fourth, having already sealed a finals berth.
Jaguars will be buoyed
by their excellent performance against Matrics in round 20, a match they
probably deserved to win after leading for the entire match.
Although resting a
little easy, Contours Matrics will be watching on with interest to see who they
will play in the first week of the finals. They will finish at second on the
ladder and currently have a 10-point gap to third placed Phoenix.
With so much
importance on the final round matches there is sure to be some great netball
being played so get down and support your team this weekend at Netball SA
Stadium.
