Fresh off of holding off a determined Carey Park last weekend, South Bunbury will be looking to continue building momentum towards a potential finals berth and pull off a huge upset.

The Tigers are set to host the Busselton Magpies at the South West Sports Centre on Saturday as the South West Netball Football League enters its 19th round.

Last weekend, South Bunbury bounced back from their 20-goal loss from round 17 and denied Carey Park a chance of obtaining their maiden win by recording a 50-45 victory.

Despite the epic win, the Tigers remain fifth on the ladder with a 5-8 record, just one premiership point below Bunbury.
