Albury Wodonga is currently ranked third in the competition but still have one game to catch up whilst the Diana's are ranked second last.

"To play against such a high ranked team whilst missing players and to only loose by 29 points is a great effort by all of the girls" Stout said.
According to Stout, the team has one of the biggest forward packs in the league which is what the girls try use to dominate the match.
"There were a few missed opportunities where we could have scored, we just need that little bit more of consistency to continue with" Stout said.
The team will return to the pitch on the 19th on the June long weekend and will travel to Wagga to verse Wagga city.
