Cross-town rivals Cavaliers and Northern Hawks set up a mouth-watering derby next weekend by both completing perfect starts to the State League campaign. Fresh from opening-round wins on Saturday, last season's grand final adversaries completed doubles on Sunday ahead of Friday's 8pm match-up at the Silverdome. Cavs won all four quarters to complete a convincing 61-40 win over Southern powerhouse Arrows. Taking advantage of the rolling subs allowed Deanna Wadley and Melody Philpott to make their mark early. Patience, hard work and quick ball release gave coach Dan Roden the confidence to put many combinations on the court, showing the team's versatility. Hawks also won all four quarters in a 57-35 defeat of Kingston. Moving Chelsea Mawer to goal attack part way through the second quarter brought in the sisterly connections with Ashlea. Danni Pickett also moved to wing attack to add height to the feeds while Hannah Lenthall and Lydia Coote were resolute in defence. Hawks held Kingston to only four goals in a physical final quarter.
Danni Pickett and Shelby Miller were influential for their sides.
