SSV: Year 8 Girls Netball

On Friday 5 June, the Year 8 Girls Netball team competed in the Hobsons Bay Division tournament, finishing with three wins and two losses.

A highlight of the day was a thrilling one-goal victory against Bayside Williamstown. Despite being a team made up largely of goalers and defenders, the girls showed fantastic teamwork and adaptability by sharing the Centre position throughout the tournament.
