Dimboola look for first netball win
Dimboola began their 2026 campaign with a draw in Wimmera Football Netball League A Grade netball, but this week they will be looking for the four points against Warrack.
In their only game this season, Dimboola drew with Ararat 53-53 on April 18.
The Eagles will be looking for their second win this Saturday, having been defeated by Horsham Saints in the opening round of the season (34 to 72), before rebounding for the win against Stawell (41 to 35).
Ant Toet, coach of the A Grade Dimboola side, is excited about the clash this Saturday, especially given they have their full line-up available.
"It will help us see where we may sit early in the season," Toet said.
"The Eagles have some changes since last year, so they are a little unknown, but we always expect a contest against all of our competitors, and we know we need to earn the four points in all A Grade games."
Despite Isabella Orszulak of the Eagles beginning the season strongly, Toet said the focus will be on everyone on the team playing their roles and sticking to their game plan to meet their goals.
"We have a few options to play at Goal Attack (on Orszulak) in Olivia Beugelaar, Maddie Marra, Billie Barber and Eloise Wills," admitted Toet.
"Her height gives her good reach and strong rebound.
"We will need to limit those opportunities for her.
"But all girls have a role, and we are looking for each one to do it consistently across the game."
