Todays National Womens League games in Auckland fell predictably to Marist and North Harbour as the two unbeaten team registered wins against QE11 by 12 to 8 ( North Harbour) and by 16-6 ( Marist ).

At the Millennium the game was similiar to yesterday for the QE11 Crushers. They kept their opposition in sight for the first half trailling just 4-5 but the North Harbour Knights got away in the second half to win 12-8. A three goal bag for the Harbour Knights fell to Ashleigh Smallfield, Jen Read and Lynley Smith whilst Casie Bowry scored 6 goals for the Crushers. Marist proved too strong for the Hutt Pelorus Dolphins leading 9-2 at half time and only easing off slightly in the second half to win 16-6. Kylie Cooper netted 4 times for the Magic women with Lisa Van Raalte scoring 3, whilst Rebecca McGuinness shot 4 goals for the Pelorus Dolphins.
The 2 unbeaten sides will meet next Sunday and Sacred Heart with North Harbour already assured of a semi finals berth and Marist requiring just a single point from its remaining games to secure the other semi final spot.
