Tyntynder jumps into elimination final
TYNTYNDER has jumped into the A-grade netball finals after Saturday’s dramatic finish to the Central Murray FNL’s home-and-away series.
A nine-goal win by Tyntynder at home against Woorinen, and Nyah Nyah West United’s upset victory at Cohuna meant the Bulldogs jumped from the sixth rung to the fifth.
The Tyntynder line-up will now meet Mallee Eagles in next Sunday’s elimination final at Balranald’s Greenham Park.
In the 18th round, Tyntynder marked a 51-42 victory against Woorinen.
As the Bulldogs took the points, NNWU Demons fired up for a 24-20 victory on the Cohuna Kangas’ court.
Results in the three other matches went as expected.
The ladder-leading Lake Boga won a hard-fought match against Mallee Eagles, 45-37.
Balranald dominated play on its court to net a 51-31 victory against Tooleybuc Manangatang.
It was a closely-fought contest at Kerang’s Riverside Park where Swan Hill won 34-30 against the Blues.
Koondrook Barham had the bye.
