B Grade

The girls are making inroads into Victory Road. Each week, they show a little more cohesion, and victory for the second time is just a goal away. Maddy is set to make it a triple, as she is in superb form. These girls form the backbone for the seniors, ensuring that the A graders keep their minds on the task at hand. I have the feeling we will be successful by 21 points.

B Reserve

Last week, the coach praised the team, highlighting that they are a remarkable group of women who will continually improve throughout the season. Emphasising their talent and experience, the coach confidently predicted they would be finals-bound.

C Grade

The ladies, young and old, always have smiles on their faces, allowing the opposition no inside information on the fitness of our players. On day one, I was told to ensure I watched a “C” grade game during the season. I will endeavour to do this when not perched in the bird box. So, victory is ours this weekend by 16 points

17 and Under

Coach's comments xoxo: These girls play their hearts out each week and are to be commended for their execution excellence. This week, I expect they will have a form reversal, shoot the lights out, intercept many passes, and fix Murrabit by 34 goals.

14 & Under

The U14.5 are achieving significant success with two wins out of three matches, which may prove that they are the greatest of them all.  Well done to all, as this is the beginning of a bright future in netball.

The hot dog rating was 9.2. It was okay, but the roll was doughy, and they had tomato sauce.
