Womens teams looking ahead to finals Wednesday December 7th 2005 With one weekend of round robin play to go in the New Zealand CommunityTrust Womens National League the top four sides have been already beenfound for the finals series. While finals spots may be secure this weekend will still be important forthe sides as they look for a high placing in the top four which wouldresult in a more favourable draw for finals weekend. Going into this weekend Hutt Valley, Auckland, Wellington and CentralVikings will be jostling for positions and any advantage they can getahead of the finals series. Defending champions Hutt Valley currently sit at the top of the pointstable tied with Auckland and these two sides will meet this weekend withwho ever comes out on top there likely to go into finals weekend with thenumber one placing. Hutt Valley coach Naomi Shaw says while the trophies wont be awardedthis weekend the games this weekend are still important as her side looksfor the number one spot after round robin play. We are aware that we have some tough games ahead of us with Auckland andWellington. We want some good performances leading into the semis andfinals, it is important for us to establish a high benchmark and maintainit, said Shaw. While Shaw may have her eye on the title she is very aware on the neednot to look too far ahead and rather than focus on the finals is moreconcerned about this weekend. We take it one game at a time and try and play the best we can in everygame and not look too far ahead. I think the competition is very even andall of the top four teams on a good day can take the title so it isimportant for us that we perform well in every game.
