Tasmanian Netball League 2025 live stream: Cripps v Karana, Round 16

While they’ve had a challenging TNL season to date, Karana coach Rick Loring is focusing on more than results in the hopes of turning things around against Cripps. Watch it LIVE Saturday.

While they may not have secured a win so far this season, Karana could very well play a major part in shaping the TNL’s top four.

And while he’d clearly love to have a few wins under the belt, Karana coach Rick Loring is just ensuring his players “stay in the moment”.

The Flames will get the chance to both turn their fortunes around and cause an upset when they face finals-bound Cripps on Saturday.

Both the Opens and U19s matches will be available live and exclusive on KommunityTV from 4pm.

Despite their poor record, Loring believes his side’s best is good enough.

“We have played some really good moments throughout the season,” Loring said.

“When we have zipped through the defence of other teams we have looked really good and it shows we can match it with them.

“It isn’t something we have really looked at, the ladder, but it could be a way to motivate the girls for the rest of the season.

“They have been really good at sticking together, we have had injuries that have impacted us definitely but they have stayed pretty close as a group which is great to see.”

Cripps sit fourth and on the same amount of points as fifth placed Devon, who will be taking on the third-place Hawks this weekend.

The Hawks are two games clear in third spot.

With five rounds to go, the top three look almost set on the ladder with fourth place still up for grabs between Cripps and Devon.

“We play (Devon) after the Kings Birthday bye weekend, a road trip up there which will be nice for the group,” Loring said.

“I wish we had to travel earlier in the season as it bonds the group together.

“It is a long trip, four hours up on the bus and then four hours back and we will do it in a day as well.

“But maybe I can use the motivation about the ladder to get the girls up as well.

“Hopefully it creates a bit more for the girls and we can jag a win.”
