ROUND 2 of the Victorian Men’s and Mixed Netball Association kicks off on Wednesday with the Valley Wolves set to take the court for the first time this season in the Mixed Premier Division. The uneven number of teams means one side will have a bye each week which could be both beneficial and detrimental given sides will struggle to build momentum. The newly established Pasifika Sharks will be looking to secure their first win, while DDNA will be hoping to make amends for a relatively disappointing performance last round.

Mixed Premier Division – Round 2
4/9/19
7:00pm
After a hard-fought effort last week, the Pasifika Sharks will be looking to go one better and notch up a win against the NNE Vipers who struggled last round. Led by Junior Levi, the Sharks will pose a dominant threat in the goal circle credit to his height and commanding presence while fellow goaler Cameron Powell is no mean feat given both his experience and class. The Geelong Cougars will be chomping at the bit ahead of their clash with reigning premiers Parkville Panthers. Both sides have both started the season in style with convincing wins and not shying away from the fight. Parkville have a plethora of stars with Vic Fury midcourt player Elle McDonald sure to cause havoc across the court. Meanwhile the Cougars have their fair share of game changes with Victorian Netball League premiership players Julia Woolley, Vanessa Augustini and Sarah Szczykulski not missing a beat.
St Therese fall victim to the bye in Round 2 while the Valley Wolves have had an extended break thanks to a bye in Round 1. The Wolves are set to face Eastside Sonic who claimed victory and will therefore be oozing plenty of confidence but will have to combat shooting sensation Nat Billings. Melbourne City Blackhawks and DDNA are set to do battle with the Blackhawks seeking to continue their winning form.
