NETBALL

AFTER a nice long weekend and the week off netball, teams across Gippsland will be keen to get back into their 2023 campaigns.
Round 2 of the Gippsland League on Saturday will provide some great games for viewing.
The game of the round will be when Drouin faces off against a mighty Morwell side on the Tigers’ home deck.
The Hawks will be hoping to be the ones to end the undefeated run of the Tiger train, stretching back to 2021.
Moe, coming off a solid performance in a tight loss to Morwell, will want to prove their worth and take home premiership points against Warragul over at Western Park.
Traralgon will travel to Maffra in what hopes to be an easy win considering Maffra’s loss to Bairnsdale, who didn’t win a game last year.
In other games, having a home-game advantage and a strong 10-goal win over Traralgon in Round 1, Leongatha should get the job done quite comfortably against a new Wonthaggi side, while Sale and Bairnsdale looks to be an even-money match.
NORTH Gippsland Football-Netball League will continue its Round 2 matches following the Good Friday spectacle between Yarram and YYN.
Hot Pies: Glengarry will look to continue their dominant season opening performance when they take on Heyfield. The Magpies outclassed traditional powerhouse Rosedale by 23 goals in Round 1, who have another tough assignment this Saturday, travelling to Gaskin Park to take on Churchill.
Sale City travels to Gormandale in what should be a standard win for the Bulldogs.
Reigning premier Woodside should have no trouble getting the job done against TTU, while Cowwarr has another week break due the bye.
FINALLY, spectators will get to see some Mid Gippsland action as the Round 8 match between Morwell East and Foster has been moved to this Saturday.
Despite Round 1 not starting until April 22, Morwell East will aim to set themselves up as serious premiership candidates, so expect them to come out firing.
