The Saints took the points against the Magpies in their opening season clash in April, winning the match 57-29.
And this time, they’ll have home court advantage.
A victory would be welcome respite for the struggling Saints, who failed to challenge top-of-the-table Shepparton United at Deakin Reserve at the weekend, finishing behind in the 60-34 match.
The Saints were able to take it to the competition leaders in the third term, shooting 9-11, but it was dominant second (7-16) and fourth (7-17) quarters from United that pushed out the margin.
With the Saints set to play a number of teams for a second time in the coming weeks, intel from previous matches will be vital to help Grace Warnock’s side have a strong run home in the final stretch of the season.
●In Benalla’s earlier matches, the Saints’ B-grade squad lost their match 26-43, while B-reserve suffered a demoralising 61-goal defeat at the hands of United. In junior results, the Under-17s failed to get going in their 19-72 loss to Shepp, while the Under-15s were also defeated, 11-63.
