DHL WP Women out to continue winning run

PUBLISHED: July 1, 2021


DHL Western Province Women will have their sights set on continuing their unbeaten run when they meet the Cell C Sharks Women at DHL Newlands on Saturday.

With eight wins out of eight matches so far, they have already sealed top spot on the standings and home advantage in the final against Border Ladies, no matter what happens in the last two rounds of action.

The Capetonians have set the pace in the competition with their effective attack and defence, and they will be determined to maintain this standard as they attempt to defend their title in a little over two weeks.

Form and history favour the Cape side, who remain the only unbeaten team, as they seek their fifth win in a row against the KwaZulu-Natalians.

Their last two encounters, however, were close with no more than 10 points separating the teams on the scoreboard, which will add to the Cell C Sharks Women’s motivation to bounce back from a three-match losing run.
