SWANS V UNITED
This will be a fantastic game of netball and will give both coaches are good gauge of where they sit after round three.
Both teams are 2-0.
United blitzed the visiting Euroa last weekend, winning by 43 goals while the Swans proved too good for a winless Kyabram.
This will be a game of inches and the team that can get on top early to assert their authority is likely to claim the win.
Tip: United.
SHEPPARTON V BENALLA
Both of these teams will be desperate to chalk up their first win of the season when they go into battle at Deakin Reserve.
They are winless to date but have both shown some glimpses of what they are capable of on their day.
If they can lead the Bears and ensure the likes of Kelsey Pallpratt, Rhi Dolahenty and Bridget Hill don’t get on top to help the Saints to a win.
Tip: Shepparton.
MOOROOPNA V TATURA
This will be a big test for both of these teams.
Mooroopna has a perfect record after the opening fortnight while Tatura remains undefeated as well, having got a draw on the opening day of the season and then followed up with a comfortable win over Mansfield.
This defensive pairing will have their work cut against the Mooroopna attackers and if they can curb them, they could cause an upset.
Tip: Mooroopna.
EUROA V ROCHESTER
Euroa will be looking to bounce back from its big loss at the hands of premiership contender Shepparton United when it plays hosts to Rochester.
The Magpies remain winless after the opening two weeks of competition.
Tip: Rochester.
KYABRAM V ECHUCA
Echuca will be out to make it three wins on the bounce when it plays host to Kyabram.
The winless Bombers look destined for a tough year on the courts, but that said they will be looking to improve each week.
Tip: Echuca.
