SALE City’s challenge for North Gippsland netball’s top five was dealt a severe blow on Saturday, when the sixth-placed side went down to Traralgon Tyers United 24-31.
Fifth-placed Woodside’s loss in last weekend’s split round opener against Heyfield opened the door for the Dogs to leap above the Wildcats, but the Bombers proved too big a hurdle.
Sale remains on 32 points, two behind Woodside after 16 rounds.
