Things are tracking in the right direction for Kyneton in the Bendigo Netball League.
The Tigers have been building the last few years, with finals firmly on the agenda for their A-grade side this year.
The Tigers are sitting in seventh spot with a 3-3 record, a game outside the top five as they prepared for another important round on the weekend, which was after deadline.
Tigers netball director Loryn Savoia said things were going along nicely.
“We’re going along OK,” she said. “A-grade had a win on the weekend which was really good.
“We’re still trying to aim for finals. We still need to keep building, but we’re really happy.”
Savoia said they had a similar squad to last season, which gave the side a good base to build from.
Injuries to Claire Oakley and Rachelle Mangan in the last couple of weeks have hurt them, just as the side was finding its feet.
Savoia said they were keen to continue building on their results in the coming weeks. It starts with Kangaroo Flat on Saturday.
“We are really looking to push for finals,” she said.
“I think we need to really work together as a team and focus on structure.”
Savoia said their other sides were starting to build as well, with the sides starting to get a few wins on the board.
“We are building really well,” she said. “It has been a really slow process and one that we’re proud of.
“We want to have a sustainable program and players coming through the ranks. We just want to try to bolster our number and have solid squads with girls in the appropriate grades.
“We also want to try and get some sort of junior development program to help be a sustainable club.”
Meanwhile, Gisborne is set to face South Bendigo on Saturday.
