After an entertaining start to the year, the competition is set to host Round 9 of proceedings over the next few days, with a number of exciting clashes on the cards. However, none are bigger than the top two sides going head-to-head at Eagle Stadium on Saturday night. The Boomers have not put a foot wrong in the first eight games, but Wyndham is hot on their tail, just a couple of wins behind. It is set to make an enthralling contest, and when both sides are at their best, plenty of scores come shortly after, so it could be a high-scoring affair. Either way, the game is sure to entertain and have a big impact on the standings and the shape of the competition moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wyndham-vs-bulleen-boomerssaturday-may-21-8-30pmeagle-stadium\">Wyndham vs Bulleen Boomers<br>Saturday, May 21 @8:30pm<br>Eagle Stadium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wyndham has not done much wrong to start the year, announcing itself as one of the contenders. After nine games of action, the home side holds a record of seven wins and two losses, which is good enough to see them claim second spot in the standings, two wins ahead of the next side down. They claimed a thrilling one-point win over another contender in McKinnon last weekend, but face the toughest assignment of season 2022 for any side in taking down a dominant Boomers side. Wyndham will need to bring its A-game, but if anyone can take down Bulleen, it will happen in Round 9. <strong>Tanielle Knight <\/strong>was terrific in last round&#8217;s win, pouring in 26 points, and will be amongst the action again here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, the Boomers have been simply outstanding to start the season. The first eight rounds of 2022 has seen Bulleen produce nine wins and a zero in the losses column. That record is two triumphs better than any other side, and they sit quite comfortably at the head of the table. Round 9 will probably be their biggest chance of sustaining a loss, given Wyndham has been the best of the rest. However, the Boomers have found a winning style of basketball, and if <strong>Annabel Deerbon<\/strong> can back up her 27-point outing from last round, they will be tough to go past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-across-the-courts\">Across the courts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Four other games will take place over the span of Saturday and Sunday in Round 9 of the Big V Women&#8217;s championship, with plenty of ramifications on the cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chelsea vs Sunbury, Saturday @5:30pm, Patterson River Stadium<br>Pakenham vs Southern Peninsula, Saturday @8pm, Cardinia Life<br>McKinnon vs Sunbury, Sunday @12pm, GESAC<br>Pakenham vs Hume, Sunday @2pm, Cardinia Life<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE Big V Women&#8217;s Basketball championship is set for a big weekend, with the Bulleen Boomers taking on Wyndham in a top-two clash.
