Dolphins Ladies ready to reignite Pro Series campaign this weekend

The Hollywoodbets Dolphins Ladies return to Hollywoodbets Pro Series action this weekend with renewed energy and clear motivation as they travel to Potchefstroom to take on the North West Dragons following an extended break in the domestic calendar.

After time away from competitive fixtures, the squad is eager to reconnect and return to the rhythm that has defined their campaign so far.

“The ladies are just happy to be with each other again,” said head coach Angelique Taai. “They love playing together and being there for one another, and that unity has been a big driving force for this group.”

The Dolphins face a Dragons side that continues to evolve, with teams across the competition using every opportunity to improve as the season progresses. Despite any familiarity with the opposition, Taai insists the focus remains firmly on her side’s own standards and execution.

“All the teams are working hard and improving their game,” she said. “We are focused on what we need to do well as a unit to get the desired results.”

With the season entering a crucial phase, motivation within the Dolphins camp is high. There is plenty at stake as teams push for strong finishes and recent recognition at the Hollywoodbets Star Awards has added further momentum.

“The players are very excited and ready to put up a fight for what we want,” Taai said. “The Hollywoodbets Star Awards that we had recently boosted them even more.”

Preparation has been a key focus since returning to training, with the squad responding positively to the work required to hit the ground running.

“Yes indeed, the ladies have put in the hard yards,” Taai added. “Now it’s time to shine and leave everything on the park.”

As the Dolphins Ladies look to build momentum and finish the season strongly, their trip to Potchefstroom presents an opportunity to convert preparation into performance against a competitive Dragons outfit.
