Swan Reach has earned a shot at Omeo District “A” grade netball grand final redemption.
The Swans will battle the powerful Omeo Benambra in this Saturday’s decider at Swifts Creek after overcoming a determined Bruthen by 12 goals during last Saturday’s preliminary final.
The two sides met in last year’s big dance, with the premiership cup going home with the girls from Omeo Benambra.
As impressive winners as they were, the Swans will need a
turnaround of 35 goals if they are to cause an unlikely upset over the Alpine Ranges who have been unbeaten all season.
The “B” grade match was the contest of the day, with Lindenow South taking the match right up to Swan Reach, who got home by two goals, earning another crack at Omeo Benambra, who were easy qualifying final winners by 14 goals.
As expected, Swan Reach progressed in the under 17s, victors by 18 goals over Omeo Benambra.
The Swans’ match up with Bruthen will be the match of the day on grand final day, with only one goal separating the sides two weeks ago.
