Qualifying Final: Western Roar v Hamersley Comets
There is no closer and more entertaining battle across the competition than the Roar v Comets rivalry.
Roar finished last season as the Minor Premiers but went down to the Comets in both the Qualifying and Grand Final.
In 2024, Roar has showcased pure dominance, finishing the regular season as the undefeated Minor Premiers and beating Comets during both their face offs.
Keep an eye on Roar’s shooting end as the Comets defenders Liz Dronfield and Ashlee Unie focus on limiting the League’s leading goal scorer Sophia Lamers. Lamers potent combination with Emma Putt drives Roar’s ability to put teams under scoreboard pressure.
Both sides mid courts will be tested as Comets Lindal Rohde, Georgia Morgan, Clara Wigley and Chloe Harrison will be looking to outrun and outsmart Zoe Cransberg, Brittany Turnbull, Cleo Kenny and Maddie Hunter from the Roar.
Cransberg has been in devastating form of late whenever she takes to the court including an SSN appearance for West Coast Fever and two MVPs for the Fever Reserves in recent week.
The winner of the match will move straight through to the Grand Final, while the loser will get a second chance in the Preliminary Final.
