THE Perth Redbacks’ men’s team have travelled to Geraldton to take on the Buccaneers today in what should be a tough match.

Former Wildcat Shawn Redhage has continued to impress and now leads the competition in scoring with 29.11 points per game.

Perth’s women’s team doesn’t play this weekend, but will play the South-West Slammers and Lakeside Lightning next weekend.
