The central Taranaki side played quality netball at times but were disrupted by Tysons’ structured defence. Old Boys were pipped 53-52 against Naumai in Opunake. Raukaura’s second match in premier one is against Naumai at the TSB Hub in Hāwera. The Waitara-based team didn’t look out of place after being promoted after grading. Goal shoot Losalia Moeahu-Leota only missed four goals from 16 attempts, while goal attack Jessica Hoskin slotted 21 from 30 shots. It wasn’t helped from the tall Inglewood defence. Centre pass for the first two matches is at 6:15pm. Neighbours Inglewood and Stratford/Eltham play in Hawera at 8:15pm.
