Viv- Wow what a season. Joint defensive player of the year. We couldn’t have done it without your tenacity! You stepped into a role that should never have been yours and fulfilled it with glowing reviews!

Biggest improvement- shot blocking

 

Kira- Top scorer for the Emeralds. Amazing dribbling. Your dribbling has been a standout all year. Bigger and better next season I  predict!

Biggest Improvement- crossover

 

Charlotte- Outstanding efforts in rebounding and intercepting. Just brilliant to watch.  You have gone from strength to strength and I have really enjoyed seeing your Netball skills shine through on the Basketball court.

Biggest improvement- rebounding

 

Freya- Your efforts were wonderful to watch this season. Seeing you scoring and applying pressure in defense was fantastic. Your willingness to listen and follow advice on court was terrific.

Keep up the great attitude.

Semi Final L 20-7

They brought the pressure and the intensity and we weren’t able to match it!.
Perhaps if last week had gone ahead we may have had a different path but on the night they were just too good. They beat us at our own game.
Enjoy the rest and a good break. It will do us all really good. The girls will move to u16 which will be Tues night games next term.
Thank you everyone for getting them to training and games every week. I’ve loved every minute of coaching these girls!
Enjoy your house dinners and have a great Holiday
