The Free State Crinums remain on track in defending their Telkom Netball League title in division A.
They played in the Second Power Week from 13 to 17 June in Sun City.
They fought gallantly to retain the second place with 14 points and have put pressure on the Golden Fireballs, who are leading the log standing with 18 points.
The Free State women closed off their day with a dominant 70 – 42 victory over the Flames, showcasing their championship pedigree. The spirited match has inspired confidence in the illustrious coach, Martha Mosoahle-Samm.
Her charges are rising to the challenge against Gauteng rivals, the Fireballs and Jaguars, with the latter third on the log table with ten points.
Mosoahle-Samm’s target is to ensure her team remains in the top four to qualify for the semifinals, which is key to bringing them closer toward defending the crown.
The Crinums have displayed some determination. Evidence thereof is the two players who won the player of the match (POTM) award. The deserving recipients are captain Refiloe Nketsa and Liamé de Lange.
The Crinums clinched the inaugural championship and have secured four titles to date, while the Gauteng Jaguars hold the record with six championships.
They are heading into the last edition from 14 to 20 July, compelled to pull out all the stops to retain their crown.
