The high-flying Panthers A grade and Collegians Mystified are set for their second straight meeting when they do battle in the major semi-final while Bulldogs Verdelho and Panthers Agriwest fight for survival in the minor semi-final.

Both A grade matches are repeats of last weekend's games and, given how close those matches were, they're expected to be great battles.

Collegians had their unbeaten run ended when Panthers emerged 52-47 winners, and Agriwest got the better of Verdelho 36-32 earlier in the day.

Verdelho coach Anita van Dartel said regardless of whether her side lives on to play another round that the team go out and play with the right attitude.

"All I hope for on the weekend is a nice clean game, played in the spirit of the game that netball should be played in," she said.

"That's how I roll and how I coach. Saturday afternoon netball is about having fun and enjoying yourself out there with your mates.

"I'm grateful for the work the girls have put in this season. It's been a hard season with numbers but they turn up and do the job and I enjoy spending time with them."

There's been nothing separating the two teams throughout the season.

Back in May they faced off in another tight contest, where Bulldogs were 37-34 victors.

It's been tough going for Bulldogs since the competition split. Their last win came back in July before the top four teams began their run towards the finals.

Bulldogs and Agriwest play at 1.15pm while Panthers and Collegians play at 3.45pm.

Meanwhile, the A reserve grade competition has been whittled down from six to four teams.

First ticket to the decider goes to the winner of the major semi-final between Scots All Saints College and Panthers Mustangs while Mana and Bulldogs Hurricanes fight for survival in the minor semi-final.

The semi-finals are certain to be close contests since no team managed to go through the post-split section of the season with an undefeated record.

The SASC and Panthers clash is certain to be a beauty and it's been a long time in the making - their latest game against each other was cancelled due to inclement weather.

SASC are seeking improvement after a loss to Panthers Toshacks.

The Mana-Bulldogs clash also happened to fall on the same cancelled round.

Victory went to Mana on the only previous occasion they and Hurricanes met this season, to the score of 41-30.

Mana and Bulldogs play at 2.30pm, Panthers and Collegians face off at 3.45pm.
