Netball Mounties

This season we saw Mounties Netball Club field 25 teams in the 2019 Liverpool City Netball Association (LCNA) Competition which commenced on April 24. The 25 Teams comprised of 5 Netta-ball, 15 Junior, 1 Senior Cadet and 4 Senior teams.

In 2019 Mounties Netball Committee remained the same as last year: ● President: Debbie Brown (and Coaching Coordinator) ● Senior Vice President: Susan Tepsa ● Junior Vice President: Wendy Soulie ● Secretary: Lyn King ● Assistant Secretary: Merna Shaddad (and Umpires

Coordinator) ● Treasurer: Melissa King ● Recorder: Kelly Murphy Our club achieved great results this year from our Netta-ball teams to the competition teams. The 7 and 8 years Netta teams played non-competition games, had lots of fun whilst at the same time learning and improving their basic netball skills with the NetSetGo program. The two 9-year-old teams played full competition rules, although did not officially score (but I am sure all the parents and coaches knew how many goals each team scored) in preparation for competition games in the following year. In the competition teams, from 10-year olds to seniors, 14 out of 20 reaching the semi-final round at the end of the season competition. Of these 14 teams three went directly to the Grand Final and 10 teams played in the Finals. By Grand Final day, which was held on Saturday September 14, there was nine teams competing. A fantastic result from all the teams over the season and congratulations to the five Premiership team with one remaining undefeated. As Premiers the 15A’s were the recipients of the Kath Whiteley Trophy.
