SWNFL 2023: Donnybrook Blackwood Ravens look to bounce back against Augusta Margaret River after tough losses

After being pipped at the post in recent weeks, the Donnybrook Blackwood Ravens are looking to bounce back in a big way this weekend. The 2023 South West Netball Football League season is set to resume with round 11 this weekend, following a bye to allow players to compete in the Netball WA Fuel 2 Go & Play Association Championships last weekend. The Ravens are set to hit the road to Margaret River Recreation Centre, where they will go head to head with Augusta Margaret River on Saturday. Prior to the bye, the Ravens had been on the receiving end of tough losses in exciting contests against Bunbury and South Bunbury, decided by 10 goals or less. The Hawks have been gradually building form in the past four rounds since their bye in round six as they continue to chase their second win of the season. Despite falling short against Harvey-Brunswick-Leschenault and Bunbury, the Hawks have been edging closer and closer towards matching their opposition. The last time the Ravens and the Hawks met was in round three, when Donnybrook Blackwood held off Augusta Margaret River by just six goals in a thrilling contest. Meanwhile, the Lions will be looking to continue building form when they host South Bunbury at the Leschenault Leisure Centre. The Lions have been on a roll in recent weeks on the back of defeating Augusta Margaret River and reigning premiers Busselton in an exciting contest, fast emerging as finals contenders at the midway point of the season. On the other hand, South Bunbury will be keen to notch their third win of the season with a massive upset after previously defeating Donnybrook Blackwood by 10 goals in round nine.
