It will be clubmate against clubmate at the YMCA tonight when the Waikohu teams in netball's premier grade go head to head.

The 7.30pm Pak'nSave premiership encounter should bring out the best in Claydens Waikohu 1 and 2.

“The top Waikohu team seem to be returning to their speedy, team-working-together play that they showed in the first round of the competition,” netball commentator Sherrill Beale said.

“They had a convincing win against Gillies Electrical Gisborne Girls' High School Senior A midweek and are sitting fourth on the table, while Waikohu (3) are sitting at the bottom.

“Waikohu (3) have been competitive in the top grade, but have not as yet been able to record a win,” Beale said.

“I am expecting a competitive contest between the two teams of clubmates tonight,” Beale said.

The earlier match, at 6pm, pits Gisborne Girls' High Senior A against Horouta Gold.

“The students won by eight goals last time these two teams played each other, “ Beale said.

“I am expecting another close game between them tonight.”
