Young Eagles are ranked third with 25 points and have banged 780 baskets against 508 and chances of finishing on third position are still high.
Lioness are fourth with 22 points, Dyna Queens are fifth with 19 points. Boma are sixth with 13 points Vanessa are seventh with 12 points, Mafco soldiers are eighth with 11 points, Immigration are ninth with four points while Sharp Shooters are anchoring the log with two points.
However, the Lioness have a chance to pull up their socks as they have only played 15 games and by winning the remaining three games they can move to second or third position.
Three teams namely, Mafco, Immigration and Sharp Shooters are stuck in the mud of the relegation battle.
Mafco can survive if they can win their last game taking into account that Vanessa lost their last game too.
“Blue Eagles Sisters have been very serious with their approaches to their games. The fighting spirit and the shooting accuracy were just superb,” a netball follower, Brenda Phiri said.
She noted that it was not surprising that they have maintained a 100 per cent winning record and Civonets fell short of offering them a challenge.
According to the Chairperson of the Central Region Netball Committee (CRNC), Fernando Magola, Vanessa had requested to shift their games, which would be played on Wednesday.
He said they would fulfil two fixtures.
