THE Latrobe Valley will host the inaugural Australian Netball Championships later this year. The new-look pathway competition will be fought out between state and territory member organisations and Suncorp Super Netball Clubs from September 11-19, and marks the first time league clubs have been invited to compete in a nation-wide pathway tournament. Following a competitive bidding process, Latrobe City in partnership with the Collingwood Magpies were successful in claiming rights to host the event at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium in Traralgon. This announcement serves as a major coup for Latrobe City, as Mayor Sharon Gibson said the region is fast becoming a regional sporting destination. “Latrobe City is thrilled to facilitate this calibre of sporting event and to offer our community an opportunity to see the superstars of the game shine in our backyard,” Cr Gibson said. “We are excited to showcase our world-class infrastructure like the new and improved Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium and continue to develop our growing reputation as a regional sporting destination of national significance.” Netball Australia executive general manager of Performance Stacey West said Latrobe City proved the ideal host for this event. “We were incredibly impressed by the Latrobe City Council’s proposal and are delighted to announce Traralgon as the host of the inaugural Australian Netball Championships,” Ms West said. “Over 200 athletes, coaches, umpires and officials will be involved in the event, which is a major talent identification and development opportunity for pathway progression. “We are really excited by the newformat of the competition, which will be played as a round-robin style tournament.”

BUDGET BONANZA

Stockdale Road Primary School in Traralgon were among the big winners in the State Budget with $10.03 million allocated to construct an all-purpose gymnasium, news which delighted school captains Ebony Henke, Mia Hoodless, Phoebe Andrews, Sianna Wilkinson and principal Adam Downes.
