FORMER Port Moresby netball queens, Esco Telstars, must beat Rebels to consolidate their position on the competition ladder.
Telstars are likely to field a full strength side in Gamini Koroka, Emily Maha, Mimi Ori, Mona-Lisa Leka and Sophie Yaruso to match the defending champions.
The City Pharmacy-sponsored Rebels are the champions and will want to stamp their mark against the former queens.Coach Lydia Veali and Mona-Lisa Leka will be relying on experience to win.
Meanwhile, Mermaids will be banking on good coaching tips from Pole Kassman.
Kassman will call on the young Lua Rikis and Winnie Mavara to lead their girls.
Rikis have been consistent under the hoop and should get good support play from sister, Winnie, on goal defence.Emily Taule will count on shooting machine, Raylene Andrew, who has been consistent under the loop. Andrew would get support from Mary-Paul Biula, Nancy Kapi, Kapu Kapi and Rachel Kapi to provide a good challenge to Paramana.Mermaids have been banking on the mid-court department where the Kapi sisters, Kapu and Rachel, have been dictating play for them.
If they shine tomorrow, Paramana will be in trouble.Paramana has Geua Raula, Marie Oitio, Renagi Mulina Gasi Moka, Rakara Raula Nelson, Ravu Raula and Susuan Wellington, all seasoned campaigners. who will play to their fullest against the Mermaids.
In the opening match, Sparrows will rely on shooters Velda Kerea (GA) and Daphne Hungrabos (GS) to win against Veupunama. The Veupunama outfit is an unknown quantity.
