Bulls set to test Magpie stoppers

Busselton and the Harvey Bulls will lock horns in a cutthroat first semifinal at Sir Stewart Bovell Park on Saturday. Both sides are genuine premiership contenders and worthy of advancing deep into the finals. Ahead of the clash, Busselton coach Aaron Beckett said he was proud of his players and was keen for them to get out there and enjoy the occasion. A key to this game could be Magpies utility Emma Borinelli, who has enjoyed an excellent season. “She has been playing forward and has been doing her role really good,” Beckett said. “She sets up her team and has been getting better every week. “The girls have been working really well together during the back end of the season. “It’s been quite good to get a few goals on the board.” After starting the season 0-3, the Bulls enter this clash having won 10 of their last 11 games. Peter Jones’ side ended their home and away season with a comprehensive win over the Eaton Boomers, with all forwards getting among the action. But this game will be anything but easy, given how evenly matched both sides are across the ground. Larissa Versaci looms as a potential matchwinner for the Bulls, while the experience of veteran Nikki Harwood could also prove crucial.
