BOORT and Wycheproof Narraport junior netballers will have the chance to play last week’s abandoned match.
North Central board on Tuesday night gave the Demons’ 17 and Unders a lifeline in their bid to play finals in the club’s last year as a standalone club.
While junior teams will play a catch-up game, seniors will not, meaning Boort will get four points for a forfeit but will miss the chance to gain valuable percentage as the Magpies’ A Grade side fights for the top four.
Wycheproof Narraport’s courts were declared “non-compliant” last weekend because planned repair work had not been done because of “environment factors and weather conditions”.
With the Demons to merge next season with Nullawil and only one home game remaining this season, it is understood that the league was keen to see younger players given a chance to play a “farewell” match on their home courts.
It is believed repair work on the courts will be completed in time for the round 17 final home
game. While senior grades are out of finals’ contention, Wycheproof-Narraport’s 17 and Under team is fourth on the ladder.
