With 6 rounds to go the Senior Womens Season has been hotly contested with all teams playing great basketball and with nearly all 6 teams still eligible for finals, every match remaining will be crucial.
See below who your side has left to play and where they are expected to land.
COLTS AUSTRALIA
LADDER POSITION: 1st
Played | Won | Lost | Drawn | Bye | Points | % |
9 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 25 | 273.79 |
POSITIVES:
They are on top with the only loss coming against the Lightning in round two but it was only by 3 points. The rivalry Colts and Dunsborough have is very likely to continue and very deep into the finals….
QUESTION MARKS:
With winter sports starting up can Colts Australia keep their footy players from getting injured/run down prior to finals action?
REMAINING GAMES
Round 10 – Saints Queens
Round 11 – Colts Alley-Oopsies
Round 12 – Dunsborough Lightning
Round 13 – Dunsborough Sharks
Round 14 – GMAS Diamonds
Round 15 – Saints Queens
PREDICTION
Will Finish top and beat the Lightning in the first week of finals.
DUNBOROUGH LIGHTNING
LADDER POSITION: 2nd
Played | Won | Lost | Drawn | Bye | Points | % |
9 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 25 | 235.33 |
POSITIVES:
The Lightning has proven they are the team to beat this season, with thier only blemish a forfiet loss to top placed Colts Australia in round 7. This team has been rarely challenged this season and will be very hard to beat if they continue this form
QUESTION MARKS:
Choking hazard! The Lightning has been known to lose important games when it matters most, with the 2021/22 Finals the prime example. They went through that season undefeated but lost both finals and missed out on the grand final that year. They will need to maintain their hot form if they dont want a repeat of that.
REMAINING GAMES
Round 10 – GMAS Diamonds
Round 11 – Saints Queens
Round 12 – Colts Australia
Round 13 – Colts Alley-Oopsies
Round 14 – Dunsborough Sharks

GMAS DIAMONDS
LADDER POSITION: 3rd
Played | Won | Lost | Drawn | Bye | Points | % |
9 | 6 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 21 | 117.09 |
POSITIVES:
The Diamonds have been a real surprise this season. Currently in 3rd and playing great basketball, this team has what it takes to make history and win a championship.
QUESTION MARKS:
Can they push the top 2? whilst the gap between the top 2 and the rest is large. Can the Diamonds continue their rise and push the top 2 when it matters most?
REMAINING GAMES
Round 10 – Dunsborough Lightning
Round 11 – Dunsborough Sharks
Round 12 – Colts Alley-Oopsies
Round 13 – Saints Queens
Round 14 – Colts Australia
Round 15 – Dunsborough Lightning
PREDICTION
With 3 tough games the Diamonds will need to be at their best to hold onto 3rd spot. Based on recent form they should.
DUNSBOROUGH SHARKS
LADDER POSITION: 4th
Played | Won | Lost | Drawn | Bye | Points | % |
9 | 3 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 15 | 47.59 |
POSITIVES:
Have played a exciting physical game that has caught a few sides off guard this season. Its different but its working! The Sharks whilst not winning many games can still cause some worry amongst the teams still in finals contention
QUESTION MARKS:
Need to beat teams above them. The Sharks are yet to beat a team above them and will most likely need to do so to secure a finals spot. If they can do this then the run home gets easier
REMAINING GAMES
Round 10 – Colts Alley-Oopsies
Round 11 – GMAS Diamonds
Round 12 – Saints Queens
Round 13 – Colts Australia
Round 14 – Dunsborough Lightning
Round 15 – Colts Alley-Oopsies
PREDICTION
The games against the Alley-Oopsies will most likely decide who makes the finals and at this point I can’t split them….
COLTS ALLEY-OOPSIES
LADDER POSITION: 5th
Played | Won | Lost | Drawn | Bye | Points | % |
9 | 2 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 13 | 57.01 |
POSITIVES:
Still in finals contention. The Oopsies on a good day have been very good and can take it up to sides. They just need to keep that form for more than 10mins at a time.
QUESTION MARKS:
Can Anyone help Hannah Wilkinson on the scoreboard? With over 1/3 of the teams score coming from Wilkinson, they will need to find more avenues to the basket if they want to beat the teams around them.
REMAINING GAMES
Round 10 – Dunsborough Sharks
Round 11 – Colts Australia
Round 12 – GMAS Diamods
Round 13 – Dunsborough Lightning
Round 14 – Saints Queens
Round 15 – Dunsborough Sharks
PREDICTION
The round 15 game vs the sharks is shaping up to be an “elimination final” unless the Oopsies can cause an upset somewhere else.
SAINTS QUEENS
LADDER POSITION: 6th
Played | Won | Lost | Drawn | Bye | Points | % |
9 | 0 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 9 | 29.61 |
POSITIVES:
Never given up! This team has shown how basketball can still be fun regardless of the scoreboard! Full of heart and enthusiasm has made watching this team great.
QUESTION MARKS:
Can the Queens get a win? Very hard to see this happening but with many teams form being very up and down anything is possible.
