Undefeated women’s sides go head-to-head

Undefeated women’s sides Busselton and South Bunbury will go head to head at Sir Stewart Bovell Park on Saturday afternoon. However, given the emphatic nature in which the Tigers hammered the Bulldogs on Sunday, the reigning premiers will enter the clash as raging favourites. And for good reason. Across every line of the ground, South have dedicated match winners, who hunt in numbers and use the football brilliantly. Up forward, Bethany Bond is likely to cause plenty of headaches for the Magpies defence, who will need to be rock solid from the opening bounce. Both midfields should cancel each other out, as they are both very speedy and skilful, however the Magpies may struggle to kick a winning score against the Tigers, due to the absence of a key forward. After sitting through two consecutive byes, Donnybrook returns to action and will be keen to record their first official women’s win in club history against Carey Park. Another team which has been starved of action during the first half of the season is the Harvey Bulls, who entertain the Eaton Boomers at the Harvey Recreation Ground. The Bulls, who are firm favourites to play finals again under Adrian Kirk, will be keen to put together a solid four-quarter effort, as matches against top-four opposition loom. In the remaining game of the round, Bunbury hosts Harvey-Brunswick-Leschenault at Payne Park on Sunday. The Bulldogs were held goalless for the first time in women’s competition history on Sunday against the Tigers.
