The Branxton squad will go head-to-head with the East Maitland girls after narrowly triumphing in their season opener against Family Hotel last weekend.

Altitude reigned supreme 31-30 in a wet affair as Maitland Netball Association got their 2015 ­campaign underway after delaying the start of the season a fortnight because of flood damage.

Altitude will look to make it back-to-back success this weekend in what will be a grand final replay of sorts.

Altitude and Queens Arms met in last year’s A2-grade decider before being promoted to the top tier competition this season.

Queens Arms got the better of the minor premiers that time around and Altitude have the chance to bounce back at Maitland Park on Saturday.

The match will be played on court three at 2.30pm.

Also taking place at the later time slot will be Branxton Flashbacks and LJ Hooker on court four.

Earlier at 1pm, Hills Solicitors will begin their title defence against Family Hotel on court three after having the bye last week.

Maitland Netball Association matches in all competitions will be round four as scheduled.
