Peel Football and Netball League netballers will take to the courts at the Mandurah Aquatic and Recreation Centre for the first round of a finals series that promises to be a thriller this Friday night.
The battles in the league division loom as a close ones, with each side having lost at least one game throughout the regular season.
Pinjarra finished the season on top after a brilliant campaign landed them with 11 wins and one loss, setting them up for a first round match-up against Waroona who finished in second.
The winner of the clash will book a ticket straight to the grand final, while the loser will get a second chance and take on the winner of the third v fourth clash between Baldivis and South Mandurah.
Baldivis went for a perfect 10 in the reserves, winning all of their games without suffering a loss in the regular season.
They’ll be the team to beat but still face a massive challenge in their first final against South Mandurah.
Waroona will take on Mandurah in the elimination final for the reserves.
The open grade could be the closest of all, with the top three sides separated by just two wins.
