The Albert Park Mixed netball team have been knocked out of the finals race after a convincing win by the Bundy Bears last night at the AP Indoor Centre against Vipers.
The team was full of confidence heading into the clash as the last time these two teams meet, more then half the regular list was absent requiring fill in players from their lower grade team to play in the A Grade comp.

The team gathered early in the sheds for a warm up andteam talk on team tactics before they ventured to court 3 for the preliminary final.
