It is so tight that only one team – Peninsula Waves – is officially out of finals contention, with several other teams down the bottom of the ladder still several losses away from bring out of finals contention too.

VNL Round 16 Fixture

Western Warriors vs North East Blaze
City West Falcons vs Bendigo Strikers
Southern Saints vs Peninsula Waves
Casey vs Booroondara Express
Melbourne Uni vs Geelong

BYE – Hawks

Match of the Round

The match with perhaps the most potential influence tonight is the Melbourne Uni vs Geelong clash.

These two sides are currently fifth and sixth, and a Uni win will see the Lightning jump into the top four while a Geelong win by a big enough margin will see the Cougars jump into the top four.

Last time the sides met it was an eight goal win to the Cougars, but the Lightning have caused a few big upsets already this season.

Key Note

Some of the teams will be affected personnel wise by the currently underway Pacific Netball Series. One of the worst affected is the City West Falcons.
