THE Wangaratta – Corowa-Rutherglen A grade netball rivalry continues with a sudden death semi-final match up.
In what has been one of the best rivalries of recent years with both sides regularly featuring deep in finals, the Magpies and Roos will be vying for a preliminary final berth at WJ Findlay Oval on Sunday.
The Magpies suffered a six-goal loss at the hands of Yarrawonga last weekend, while Corowa-Rutherglen pipped North Albury by one goal in a thrilling elimination final.
While Wangaratta got the chocolates on both occasions against the Roos in the home and away season, the ‘Pies continue to battle injuries with Georgia Clark and Issy Newton’s return dates not looking positive.
Last time the two sides met, the Magpies got over the line at home in a nail-biting one goal victory.
