Thunder faces Demons test
It's been a challenging season for Southern Mallee in A Grade netball, with the side having just one win approaching the halfway mark of the year.
And the opposition doesn't get any easier for them this week, as they line up against Horsham on Saturday.
While the Thunder (1-5-1) are eighth on the ladder, the Demons are second, with a record of 5-1.
The Demons will be looking for the win to stay in touch with ladder leaders Horsham Saints, while the Thunder could move up the ladder into potentially sixth with a victory.
To get the win, the Thunder will need to limit Imogen Worthy's impact on the match, as the goal shooter averages more than 40 goals per game this season.
They'll also be hoping for a big game from their own contributor in goals, Phoebe Bigham, who has 153 goals this year, as both she and Worthy sit in the league's leading goal scorers.
The game will be played at Rainbow Recreation Reserve, with the opening centre pass at 12.15pm.
