Dear Netball Families

What an incredible round of netball on Saturday for Round 9! Across the Club, our teams recorded an outstanding 22 wins from 30 matches from Year 4 to Alumni, showcasing the hard work, determination and teamwork that have been building all season.

A special congratulations goes to Year 2 Green, who celebrated their first NETSETGO win. This is a fantastic achievement and a reward for their enthusiasm, effort and persistence.

Results:

• Primary School: 6/6 wins!
• Secondary School: 13 wins, 1 forfeit win, 7 losses
• Alumni: 2 wins, 1 loss

Overall: 22 wins from 30 matches

With five rounds remaining, we encourage all players to keep their heads held high, continue supporting one another, and focus on giving their best effort every time they step onto the court. Every game is an opportunity to learn, improve and enjoy being part of a team.

Well done to all our players, coaches, managers and families for another wonderful weekend of netball.

Let's keep the momentum going as we head into the final rounds of the season!
