I love the sight on the courts on Day 1 and the sounds of the whistles; it makes the build-up to the day worthwhile! Hopefully everyone had a great start to the season despite the rain hanging around throughout the day. I am aware of one girl who had an unfortunate start. Lucy Filetti in the 12A’s took to the court and collided with her partner within minutes which has resulted in a broken collar bone. We are all in shock to the severity of the injury in comparison to the incident and we wish Lucy a speedy recovery. The two week holiday break in the middle is a small bonus!!
There have been a few smaller injuries throughout the grades and with girls booking in absences throughout the season, there are still a few teams in need of another player. If you know someone who wants to play netball and thinks they have missed out, can you please ask them to contact me as soon as possible?
Thank you to Anne Heptinstall for finding our new sponsor ‘Number Works ‘n’ Words’; the girls were very excited toreceive a gift at the commencement of the season. We are still in the process of distributing the drink bottles so if you haven’t yet received them, you will be soon.
Our 18.1’s were the only ones to fall victim to the weather when the game was cancelled at half-time. A half-game has to be played for the score to be accepted for the leader board and for points for and against.
