Bridgewater chases upset of Mitiamo for netball premiership
Bridgewater plays unbeaten Mitiamo on Saturday. The match is for the Loddon Valley league A grade netball premiership. Bridgewater beat Newbridge in the preliminary final.
Bridgewater's Mean Machine will face unbeaten Mitiamo in Saturday's Loddon Valley netball grand final at Serpentine. Mitiamo is chasing a third flag in a row.
Bridgewater is buoyed after a 48-42 preliminary final victory over Newbridge. Newbridge had beaten Bridgewater three times this year, each time by two goals.
Co-coach Carly Wild said the team motto is simple: "We only have to win once." Bridgewater has not played in an A grade grand final since 2018, when it defeated Calivil United 39-32.
The club will have all three of its football teams in grand finals on Saturday. It will also have four netball sides in grand finals.
