AFL Barwon writer Wil Spence previews this weekend’s A Grade Netball matches in the Bellarine Football Netball League.
Queenscliff vs Newcomb
Queenscliff Recreation Reserve, 12:30PM, Saturday 19th July, 2025
Could be the match of the round this week, both sides are sitting on the same points with only two percent separating them both on the ladder.
Back in round one was the last time these two sides played each other, with the Coutas coming out on top.
Expect a fast-attacking style from both sides.
Off-season recruits, Alex Booker and Caitie Kennedy should both have an influence on the game in attack and defense, respectively.
The Power will call upon their star, Jessica Duke to showcase her intercept abilities, while shooting leader, Carly Sanders will remain a key focal point at goal shooter.
Sanders has shot 471 goals, shooting at 87.1%.

Modewarre vs Torquay
Mount Moriac Reserve, 1:50PM, Saturday 19th July, 2025
A tough match for Modewarre this weekend against Torquay who are currently on a three-game winning streak.
The Warriors will have to play a consistent four quarters to stay in touch with the Tigers.
Torquay will look to continue their top three aspirations and potentially build a stronger percentage.
The Tigers variety of players who can play as goal shooter or goal attack could cause some issues for the Warriors.
The Tigers last game against Anglesea, they had Leni Gilbert, Daisy O’Kane, Sophie Ritchie-Crichton and Kate Schippers all shot goals.
The Warriors will look to Madison Colbert in defense to start their fast movement.
Barwon Heads vs Ocean Grove
Howard Harmer Oval, 1:50PM, Saturday 19th July, 2025
Barwon Heads come into this game with an impressive victory against Portarlington, finals may not quite be on the agenda.
However, expect plenty of passion on court with five games remaining to take into next season.
The reigning premiers have been hard to beat all season and should pose a challenge for the Seagulls.
Returning from a season at Otway Districts last season, expect wing defense Gemma Bell to have an impact.
The Seagulls will look for captain Mikayla Mevissen to lead from the front in an array of positions.
Portarlington vs Anglesea
Portarlington Recreation Reserve, 1:50PM, Saturday 19th July, 2025
Portarlington would like to put last rounds game behind them as they look to climb further up the ladder.
Anglesea were brave in their most recent game against Torquay, going down by six goals, plenty to like ahead of what should be a thrilling game.
Dees attack, Tully Bethune and Ash Hogan have worked well together, combining for a total of 420 goals.
Anglesea’s Jessica Croker has shot 238 goals, from 79.87% and will need to be dangerous if the Roos are to come out on top.
