A chance to make it three wins on the trot is likely the message Saints coach Kellie Keen has given her players this week, as they prepare to face Kyabram in Benalla.

A classy 55-29 win over Mansfield last weekend, and a hard-fought 41-33 win the week before has the Saints well positioned in sixth after three rounds.

Saints recruit Sally Washfold has been lethal for her side in goals and will look to continue her fine form this weekend, while Chloe Hill has been a revelation in Benalla’s defence.

Meanwhile, Shepparton will be keen to continue its momentum after collecting the side’s first points of season 2022 last weekend against Shepparton Swans.

The Bears face a winless Tatura this weekend, with the likes of Ella Sidebottom, Bree Robinson and Caitlyn Tuohey all looking to push their side further up the GVL leader board.

Shepparton Swans will be up against it in their clash with a Euroa side energised after a shock round-three triumph over premiership-fancy Seymour.

A red-hot Shepparton United side welcomes Rochester, the Tigers heading to Deakin intent on causing a round-four upset.

Echuca will be back on its home court to welcome a Mansfield outfit hungry for its first win of the season.

The Murray Bombers look in good nick this season; 3-0 after accounting for Kyabram last weekend 54-40.
