What a big day it was for all our teams playing in grand finals.
Congratulations to all 4 teams and their coaches in representing the club with wonderful sportsmanship. We finished the day with 1 premiership and 3 runners up trophies.
We now have a new premiership team in the 11/3 Rubies. At the end of the games the scores where level so they had to play an extra 2 quarters of 3 minutes each. At the end of the 2nd quarter the rubies were up by 2 goals and won their very 1st premiership together. Congratulations Sarah and the rubies team and well done to everyone getting behind them in the overtime is was very nerve wrecking for everyone.
11/1 Diamonds played Newport Phoenix and had a very hard game but did not give up even winning the last quarter to show they kept going until the final siren. It was the 1st grand final for this team and to finish with a runners up trophy showed what a great season they had.
13/1 Orioles went into the grand final undefeated for the season however this game was always going to be difficult and very physical. A number of players had a few bruiser but the team continued to play clean netball which we are very proud of. To finish the season with a runners up trophy to add to their collection of trophies is a wonderful achievement. The OriolesIn 4 seasons have now played in 4 grand finals (2 premierships and 2 runners up).
15/1 Panthers had a wonderful season in a very strong division 1 competition. Although the panthers didn't win the premiership the girls played hard and did not give up. To walk away with a runners up trophy in this very strong competition is a great achievement and one which all the girls should be proud of.
We are also very excited to announce some individual awards that were handed out on grand final day. These award were voted on by the umpires each week after the game.
