St Andrews Netball Club

What an awesome end to the winter season!!

After their first season of netball the Under 11 Mockingbirds finished Runners Up! Such an incredible achievement for our youngest team. They finished their season with a round robin day where they played 4x 15 minute matches across 2 hrs. The girls won all of these games and showed great finesse and sportsmanship. We look forward to seeing what happens next season as they continue to grow and develop in their netball skills.

And what about our Under 13s!! All season the Swifts have showed us how it is done. Only losing 1 game this season, the girls went on to play a semi-final where they won a straight entry into the Grand Final. The girls battled their nerves last Saturday as parents and friends watched a goal for goal game for the first 3 quarters. But in true style the girls took the game away in the last quarter to win the clubs first ever Premiership.

I would also like to congratulate our 2 Under 15 teams. The Stars finished the season 4th on the ladder, being knocked out of the semi-final in a nail-biting 3 point loss. The diamonds also in their first ever season were on a comeback and finished 6th position.

Once again I would like to give thanks to all our coaches and umpires who make it possible to run this netball club within the school community, and of course thank you to all of our parents who spend many weekends braving the wintery weather of Melbourne to support their girls.

Here are some photo’s of our Under 11s and Under 13s celebrating the finish of their amazing 1st season.
