Kangaroo Island Netball Association - Week 1 Finals preview
Second Semi-Final (3.00pm Saturday 31 August @ Western Districts)
Reigning premier Dudley United will go into Saturday’s semi-final against Western Districts full of confidence after finishing the minor round with seven consecutive victories including a 22-goal win over Western Districts back in round 11. Minor premier Western Districts had the week off last week after three tight wins so they’ll be well rested heading into the big clash. They can take confidence from two wins this season against Dudley United, albeit earlier in the season in round one and six. It should be a very tight game as a possible Grand Final preview. My tip...Dudley United by five goals.
First Semi-Final (3.00pm Sunday 1 September @ Wisanger)
The much improved Parndana Roosters face off against Kingscote in the cut-throat semi final on Sunday at Wisanger. The Roosters finished bottom last season with just three wins but have doubled that tally in 2019 to finish third at the end of the minor round. Kingscote rounded out their minor round campaign with a 16-goal victory over Wisanger to finish in fourth position. The teams played three times in 2019 with Parndana holding a 2-1 advantage head-to-head. My tip...Parndana by eight goals.
