Until that particular moment, the Lawins had not won a game. TCS' disqualification, which made the playing field a more level one and a change in attitude (and a new coach) gave the computer retailers the edge they needed and they were suddenly waken from their slumber. The result was some impressive wins at the back end of round 2 and with penalty points, they managed squeeze in to the final four on the slimmest of margins.
From there, their confidence has flourished beating third placed NSL the previous week and then on Sunday beating Esco 2 to book a place at the table on Saturday morning at 11:00.
Helen Launch-Havora, has been the catalyst that has galvanised this team of part time netballer's, moulding a small team with a heart for the game to rise from their doldrums to eventually be Grand Finalists for their division.

Western Power on the other hand have had a dream run this season beating all except TCS in their lead up to claiming the divisions minor premier title for this season. Having changed their uniforms from the pastel blue and orange of Sustainable Energy to the Green and Yellow of SDP and Western Power, these young ladies have quietly proved their worth and have been great sports-women as well.

Western Power are clear favourites for this game with their youth and style. On both occasions that the teams have met this season, Western Powers has beaten Able, just, and so the stage is set perhaps for the Lawins to give Western Power's a good run for their money.
Don't miss any of the games this weekend then you won't be disappointed.
