Laharum set to continue hot form
Laharum’s senior football side will aim for a third consecutive win when they meet Edenhope Apsley in round nine of the Horsham District Football Netball League this Saturday.
Having lost two of their first three games of the season, the Demons have won four out of their last five, with their only loss coming against the undefeated Noradjuha Quantong in a hard-fought round six match.
A slew of injuries have hit Laharum in recent weeks despite their hot form.
Robbie Miller, coach of Laharum, is keen to get some players back.
“We've still got a couple of unavailabilities through niggles and stuff like that, so we'll see how this week plays out,” Miller said.
“We do expect two or three to come back into our side, which would be welcome additions.”
Meanwhile, Edenhope Apsley continue the quest for their first win of 2025.
Competitive losses to Rupanyup (90-66) and Taylors Lake (91-75) in recent games suggest they will rise for the challenge against Laharum.
While Laharum won’t take the Saints lightly, Miller is conscious of getting the win while also managing the health of the squad.
“We'll just focus hard on the track and on what we need to do as a group, and we'll just keep improving,” Miller said.
“Coming into the second half of the season, it's ever-important to have everyone as fit as possible and managing that workload as much as possible as well.
“A lot of that will come into the team’s discussions throughout the next couple of weeks.”
