‘‘We had fantastic defensive pressure across the entire court and we made smart decisions which allowed us to execute the win.’’

‘‘We are excited for the finals campaign to get under way,’’ she said.
‘‘We are very aware it’ll be a tough game against Katunga and we will have to play our best netball to come away with the win.

Final score: Strathmerton 63 d Rennie 45

‘‘What a great way to end our home and away season and head into finals,’’ Strathmerton coach Caitlyn Price said.
‘‘The momentum wasn’t always going our way but for majority of the game we kept in control.
‘‘We played patient netball, kept possession of the ball and put it to the advantage of our attackers.
‘‘It was a hard hit out but a strong finish which is what we needed heading into next week’s final.’’
Strathmerton takes on Rennie again this weekend in an elimination final at Katamatite on Saturday.
The big win in round 18 and the 28 points separating the sides during the season makes the Bulldogs the clear favourites to progress to week two of the finals.
