Hills vs. Manly Warringah

NARRABEEN, Australia (Interstat) — The Manly Warringah women’s basketball team, riding an 11-2 record across all competitions, will host the Hills club (4-6) on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at Narrabeen in a matchup organized by the Australia NBL.

Manly Warringah enters the contest having won eight of its past nine games, most recently a 71-61 road victory against Maitland on Sunday. The team averages nearly 85 points per game during its recent surge and has outscored opponents by wide margins. Guard-forward Alex Delaney has been a primary catalyst, posting five consecutive games with at least 18 points and 10 rebounds. In the win over Maitland, Delaney played 37 minutes and logged 22 points and 12 rebounds. Across her last five outings, she has averaged 19.6 points and 10.6 rebounds per game.

Hills, meanwhile, has dropped three of its last four contests. The team fell 82-76 at Maitland on May 23 despite a monster double-double from forward Ella Gale, who recorded 12 points and 19 rebounds in 31 minutes. Gale has been the club’s most consistent frontcourt presence, pulling down at least 13 boards in four of her last five games. In Hills’ only win during that stretch — a 91-78 result against Canberra Nationals on May 10 — Gale chipped in 9 points and 8 rebounds. The team will need her inside presence against a Manly Warringah side that has dominated the glass.

The last meeting between these clubs, on April 10, 2026, ended with Manly Warringah cruising to an 85-52 victory at Hills. That result extended Manly Warringah’s series momentum dating back to last season. Hills has shown improvement since that blowout loss, winning three of its next six games, but still struggles to contain elite opposing frontcourts.

Manly Warringah’s upcoming schedule includes a home game against Albury Wodonga on June 13 before a key stretch against Centre of Excellence and Illawarra. Hills will host Inner West on Sunday, May 31, the day after the contest, before traveling to Hornsby on June 20.

Tip-off at Narrabeen is scheduled for 5 p.m. local time. Manly Warringah is looking to maintain its position near the top of the league table, while Hills aims to climb from the middle of the pack and snap a two-game losing streak.
