Kildare Catholic College will move into the Tracey Gunson Shield semi-finals as title favourites after a thrilling one-goal win over Mater Dei Catholic College on Thursday.
Kildare finished on top of Pool A after an exciting 35-34 win over their arch-rivals at Wagga Netball Centre.
The win booked Kildare a semi-final clash with The Riverina Anglican College (TRAC), while Mater Dei will meet Kooringal High School, who had no hiccups with a win over Wagga Christian College.
Kooringal only needed to defeat Christian College to ensure a semi-final berth and they did so in fine style, winning 35-17.
