| Netball: Northern teams fight for top semis position
Tasman Trophy coach Yvonne Willering would have been pleased to have arrived in Palmerston North yesterday and seen that Auckland Waitakere and North remain unbeaten in the national championships. As coach of the greater Auckland side for next year's Tasman Trophy, North and Auckland Waitakere make up a significant part of Willering's catchment area. With franchises beginning to organise their lineups for the new competition which starts in April, the nationals are a great opportunity for those hoping to secure spots. In yesterday's double header round, Auckland Waitakere knocked over Waikato 49-40 and Otago 57-45 while North beat Western 58-43 and Southland 55-54. The two sides will square off tonight to decide the top side going into tomorrow's semifinals where one plays four and two plays three.
