In sunny condi ons, Glencoe started the quarter strongly and applied great pressure from the first whistle, with the defensive combina on of Sarah Edwards and Chelsea Owen causing some early turnovers against Kalangadoo’s goalie combina on of Abbey Duncan and Ebony McDiarmid. Glencoe’s goal shooters Jenna Paproth and Chantelle Cocks found plenty of space and rewarded their side’s defensive effort to go into the first break with a three-goal advantage.
Both teams remained unchanged during the second quarter and saw Glencoe increase their intensity with Donna Jaeschke running hard for Glencoe, feeding her goalies accurately. Glencoe’s Sarah Edwards and Kalangadoo’s Abbey Duncan had a ght contest, with Edwards making Duncan earn every possession. Glencoe went into the main break with a four-goal lead.
Glencoe made no posi onal changes at half me, while Kalangadoo switched around the mid court. This quarter was a ghtly contested tussle with Kalangadoo defenders Lauren Kain and Lara Munro working hard to create turnovers and curve Glencoe’s momentum. Kalangadoo were able to have a two-goal advantage 33 to 31 at the threequarter break.
The final quarter saw a high work rate from both teams and Kalangadoo’s circle defence con nued to work hard and made the most of rebounding opportuni es. Kalangadoo’s mid court was pa ent and posi oned well to feed their goalies with precision. McDiarmid was able to find space and make an impact on the game in the goal circle to help Kalangadoo finish the game 50 goals to Glencoe 44.
Both teams started off strong first few goals were goal for goal. Then Nangwarry a ack line struggled to get the ball into the ring with some good circle defence by Robe defenders. Down the other end Nangwarry defence were having to work hard for any balls from Robe goalies Demi Carter and Tori Gluyas with both shoo ng at high accuracy Robe led by 16 goals going into the first break.
Both teams unchanged Robe li ed Emma Grant and Georgia Perkins really stopping Nangwarry goalies who struggled to move in the circle. Halle Carter having a good tussle with Claire Ferguson through the centre was driving well for her team along with some good movement from Lucy Perkins at Wing A ack feeding their goalies well. Nangwarry were turning over some balls, but good defence pressure made them throw a lot away. Robe led 41 to Nangwarry 5 at half me.
Nangwarry swapped their goalies around this quarter and bought on youngster Scarle Black at Wing Defence to replace Chrystal Lock. Black stepped up straight away making Perkins work harder this quarter. Kayla Gray really started to get soke nice intercepts and
rebounds providing a lot of opportuni es for her team. Nangwarry were a bit more pa ent coming out of defence. Hayley Vanderhorst started to posi on strongly providing a focal point for her feeders Cassie Dinnison and Ferguson making it easier. Unfortunately, not all shots were sinking for Nangwarry and Perkins and Grant jumped on any rebounds. H. Carter con nued to drive well into a ack posi oning well around the ring making it easy for her goalies. Robe had a 49-goal lead going into the final break.
Nangwarry made a few more changes pu ng Dinnison into Goal A ack, Tahlia Wilson to Wing A ack, Lock back onto Goal Keeper and Gray into Wing Defence. Lock and Carly Ploenges really worked hard blocking out well in defence but just lacked some height. Ferguson keep running well for her team combining well Wilson and Dinnison. Dinnison gave the goal circle a bit more movement making it easier to feed Vanderhorst as well. Any silly passes were quickly jumped on by Grant and Perkins, who drove the ball strongly drove out of defence. Ellen Ramke really came into the game in this quarter at Wing Defence for Robe, turning over many centre passes and ge ng some great intercepts around the ring. D. Carter really stepped up more this quarter moving well ll she was in a comfortable posi on to shoot. Although Nangwarry scored more this quarter, Robe were just too strong.
Robe: Halle Carter, Ellen Ramke.
In nice, sunny condi ons, Port Mac hosted the Eagles in a match that didn’t mean anything in the finals race but saw both teams certainly wan ng to finish their season on a high with a win.
Hatherleigh were out of the blocks earlyErin Watson in Centre and Rosie Ne le in Wing A ack providing plenty of drive into their a ack line where Maddie Pulmer and Demi Vanderhorst in the circle were finishing off accurately. Port Mac’s goalies Megan Hein and Kori Collins missed early opportuni es, which Eagles defenders Elly Redden and Maddie Redman capitalized on, crea ng turnovers and more opportunity to score. Hatherleigh’s led 14-8 at quarter me.
Hatherleigh’s Watson had the second quarter off, which saw Ne le move to Centre and Tegan Telfer come on into Wing A ack. The Eagles goalies missed a few opportuni es this quarter thanks to the defensive pressure of demon defenders Alana Berkefeld and Alysha Coon. Collins had a be er quarter at Goal A ack, finding her range, while Kate Faint and Ne le had a great ba le through the middle. Port Mac won the quarter, but s ll trailed by 4, 23-19 at the main break.
The third quarter saw Watson return to the court and Ne le have a quarter off. Fresh legs helped the Eagles - Watson and Telfer working extremely well together. A few Eagles misses this quarter saw the Demons desperately trying to stay in the game, but the Eagles put their foot down in the la er part of the quarter, Lara MacGregor having a
terrific quarter at Wing Defence. The Eagles led 33-25 at three quarter me.
The final quarter saw Collins and Hein switch bibs for the Demons and Ne le return to the court for the Eagles with Redden taking the bench. Hein and Collins had a far more accurate quarter, despite the impressive defensive efforts of MacGregor and Redman. Port Mac again won the quarter - but the lead was too great for them to make up, with Hatherleigh eventual winners by 7 goals.
Best players - Port MacDonnell: Alysha Coon, Kori Collins; Hatherleigh: Tegan Telfer, Erin Watson.
Kongorong won the toss and took the first centre pass for the game and scored through Tilah Buckingham. Tantanoola responded through Keryl Ousey who found her range early in the piece. Unforced errors from the home side allowed Kongorong to gain possession but pressure from Tantanoola’s Goal Keeper Tayla Rowe kept her side with ball in hand taking some crucial intercepts for her side and keeping her player to just two goals for the quarter. Kongorong’s Riley Buckingham and Emily Lightbody worked hard despite the height mismatch of Tantanoola’s goalie combina on of Ousey and Emma Gould who were able to rebound strong under the ring. The Tiger’s went into the first break with a seven-goal advantage.
Kongorong’s defensive duo of Buckingham and Lightbody stepped up their pressure in the second quarter causing turnovers for their side and were able to convert through Tilah Buckingham who shot eight goals for the quarter. However, Tantanoola’s Casey Walker increased her work rate on the wing, intercep ng any ball that went into the pocket and was a target when driving the ball out of defence.
Half me saw a lot of changes being made to the Tantanoola line up with Ousey moving to Goal Keeper, Rowe to Goal Defence, Kate Bromley to Wing Defence, Casey Walker to wing a ack, Jami Walker to Goal A ack and Gould to Goal Shooter. It didn’t take long for Walker to find her range in the goal circle, shoo ng at 100% for the quarter. Rachel Perry stepped up for the Hawks, passing accurately to Sealey and Buckingham. Tantanoola se led into the new posi ons using the ball affec vely across the court to extend their lead to the quarter break 46-27.
Going into the final term we saw both sides unchanged. The home side were much more methodical in their approach, with the pressure of the Tigers creeping in on the Hawks. The Kongorong defence ba led hard in the final quarter, but increased errors crept into their game. The height advantage from Ousey and Rowe in the defensive end caused havoc for the Hawk’s shooters with shots being deflected and Tantanoola capitalising off every opportunity with precise delivery into Gould from Kate Varcoe and C. Walker. Gould had the upper hand in the final term shoo ng 15 from 17 to finish the game with a win. Final score 68-31.
Best players - Tantanoola: Tayla Rowe, Emma Gould; Kongorong: Riley Buckingham, Emily Lightbody
Best players - Glencoe: Alice Tentye, Chantelle Cocks; Kalangadoo: Abbey Duncan, Chloe Peacock. Best players - Nangwarry: Claire Ferguson, Hayley Vanderhorst;Well, just like the 2023 regular season is complete! Thank you to all our amazing sponsors, volunteers, coaches, players, and families for their efforts this year. We now head into the business end of the season with 4 weeks of finals ac on. We s ll have both football and netball teams in the race for the ul mate prize, so let's make sure we get plenty of support out there on game day and at the club for trainings and Saturday night. Last weekend we finished the year at Kalangadoo for round 18. It was a sunny day and perfect condi ons for footy. We managed to come away with 2 out of 4 wins from the footy field.
Junior Colts: The Junior Colts con nued their march towards finals with their 15th win in a row a er only losing their opening match of the year Si ng 15 and 1 they enter the finals in the same posi on as last year and hope to win the Semi final and book a place straight into the Grand Final. Make sure we get out nice and early to watch these kids as they are playing amazing footy We also had Tom Richards take out the league leading goal kicker award by 20 goals kicking 59 himself. Excellent effort Tom. This is the 2nd year in a row we have had a junior colt win the award as Dan Ferguson won it last year with 54 goals. Their final game of the regular season saw them kick 11.15.81 to no score. Hopefully some more accurate kicking will occur during the finals. Best players were Tighe Hurley, Kallan Price, Kade Mulraney, Jaxon Hewle , Tom Richards and Sam Haase. Well done to Pricey and the team for making it this far and good luck in the finals.
Senior Colts: The Senior Colts also finished the year with a win. A er a season of ups and downs with a lot of improvement shown the boys managed to get on top early in the game and hold on in the last few minutes to get up 57 to 50. A few Penola recruits nearly helped the opposi on steal a win but thankfully our boys fought hard to hang in there and scrape through with the win. Best players were Patrick
Langsmith, Digby RichardsFennell, Brodie Pfitzner, Lachy Brierley, Bailey Rothall and Luke Stubberfield. Only a few of these boys go up into seniors next year so there will be plenty of numbers to choose from and con nued improvement. Well done on the year
B Grade: A er the Reserves got their first win of the year last week there was suddenly, a shortage of players. Some might have already headed off for footy trip early. This meant we again had 8 senior colts filling in but were also facing the 2nd place team who were more than handy, with a handful of A graders. Unfortunately, it was not the ending to the year we were a er and we went down dismally 1 to 187. Best players were Bevan Lipscombe, Josh Agars, James Kipping, Shannon Megaw, and Chris Adams. A big thanks must go to Ben Hentschke for coaching this year in what was the hardest year we have ever had in the Reserves with extremely short numbers all year
A Grade: The Seniors finished their year disappoin ngly as well with Kalangadoo having all to play for trying to book a top 2 finish and us just trying to limp to the line, it was one of the worst performances we have put out all year. We started the 1st quarter well, but a er that we did not put up any sort of a fight. The game finished with the score 25-183. Best players were Jack Edmonds, Sam Giersch, Darcy Williamson, Will Maloney, Patrick Mitchell, and Zacc Cocks. A bit of work to do to get everyone fit and commi ed for pre-season next year to take that next step. Well done to Tom Edwards for coaching the last 2 years in what was a mes a very tough gig, with some lack of player availability on the regular
As we head into finals let's get out and support the remaining netballers and Junior Colts. A reminder to keep the 24th of September pencilled in for Junior Presenta on Day and the 29th of September for Senior Presenta on night.
Junior 2: What great weather we had and what a great fun game! You all have improved so much since the start of the season and you all should be super proud of yourselves! Everyone got to have a half in their favourite posi ons and it was great to see you all shine in these posi ons. Everyone kept their heads up and played each quarter to the best of their abili es. Lots of touches, great passes, good talking and great shoo ng efforts. Encouragement this week went to Ruby J who tried really hard to use the angles in the circle, then did some great driving and finding the space in C. Best player this week went to Charlo e B with so many touches and intercepts in defence, you read the play well and your reoffering down the court was good to see. Thank you to all of you for a great season and to all the parents who have helped out. Look forward to seeing you all next season!
Junior 1: A great way to finish the season with some excellent work, especially our first half. The defensive pressure and drive down the court was fantas c by everyone. Thank you for being a lovely bunch of girls to coach this season. You all have improved so much this year and its lovely to see you all enjoy the season. I look forward to seeing you all again next year. Best player went to Hollie, and Jaz, Shelby and Mikayla all received encouragement awards.
13 & Under: Bad luck today girls. We come up against a very skilled and determined Kalangadoo team who played a strong four quarters. We had a great first half of the game where we were within 5 at half me but we couldn't quite keep this intensity up for the remainder of the game, and adjust to the condi ons. Remember to con nue to have trust in yourselves and each other and keep the posi vity going for the whole game. First best went to Layla for playing a strong four quarters and adjus ng well to the game when needed. Second went to Hallie for not giving up and working hard to get in front of her player and provide drive down the court. Third best went to Isabella for great defensive pressure in the circle and crea ng many turnovers. Let's start fresh in a couple of weeks ready for our first final and keep the posi vity up, because we can do this. Most importantly, enjoy your netball and have fun with each other!
15 & Under: Where has the season gone? Great game today it was nice to see each and every one of you smiling and encouraging each other. We had a changeup of posi ons and girls playing some posi ons they haven't played since juniors. Best player went to MacKenzie, who played really well outside of her comfort zone. She also did some great leads and applied pressure to each ball. Second went to Kloe Philips; she moved well on the court and used her voice at mes. Well done girls! Thanks for an enjoyable season.
17 & Under: Glencoe 2023 17s, your improvement from round 1 to round 2 was super pleasing and a highlight every week was the focus you all had in being unaffected by anything out of your controlbe that opposi on flow, a team error, unfavourable call or the weather. Your ability to get on with the game & brilliantly represent our club is something which you collec vely made happen and we're very proud of you all. In the second round we had 2 wins against teams placed above us on the ladder being 4th placed Kongorong and 3rd placed Tantanoola. And a narrow loss of 2 goals to 2nd placed Port Mac. Thank you to parents who helped us when asked and for ge ng your girls to training and games. Most importantly, to you girls for your commitment to training, playing & also in umpiring and undertaking club tasks you were rostered to do, well done! The nine of you came together strongly as a team this season. Best wishes to Zoe, Caitlyn, Lara, Lilly, Kayla and Giaan as they step into seniors and to Montana, Jena and Alyssa as top age 17's in 2024.
B Reserve: Hard to believe that it was our last game today. Coming up against strong, second ranked side and a different kind of weather to what we're used to didn't discourage us. We had some good and not so good patches of play but we kept our heads up. We went out there to end our season with some fun and that's exactly what we did! We had a change up with our posi ons at half me and we were able to play some we wouldn't normally, or ones that we hadn't played in a very long me. I could definitely see some poten al in future combina ons and posi ons, and our versa lity did show. And I'm sure our new goalies could one day become real goalies, with lots and lots of prac ce! Congrats to Alarna and Mik for shoo ng their goals! Best players went to Jacinta (Key2Sale), Alarna and Julia. I would like to say a huge thank you to our girls for a fun year Although we didn't get many wins on the board, we made up for it in our improvement in our individual performances and learning to play and gel as a team. Our focus was on posi vity, encouragement and keeping our heads up, and I can say we achieved that. Thank you for trus ng me as a coach and all your support. Thank you to all volunteers who med, wore the green arm band, scored and umpired for us, making the job a lot easier as well as all who helped coach from the bench so I could focus on the game. Thank you to Joyce who brought some a er game goodies too!
B Grade: 39-55. Bad luck today, girls. I feel like the score didn't reflect the game today We had a lot to change and adapt to from the get go and you all worked really hard to adjust to our star ng posi ons. From there on our luck only got worse with us taking 3 separate injury mes throughout the game, which each come with its own challenges. You can all pride yourself with knowing we kept going against a tough opponent and never really dropped our heads, which was great to see. Our best player went to Bri for an outstanding game in goals keeping our team alive even though she was desperately wan ng to step into defence. Second best went to Giaan ge ng the call up and se ling in really well and changing posi ons a er only a short while a er taking the court. Her pressure was great and got many touches on against a strong opposi on. We now move forward to our first final with a slightly different team but let's go out and give it our best!
A Reserve: Disappointed we didn't get any cupcakes Paul! Work on that next me! Good job girls on a great season – didn't quite get to the final four even though I think we deserved to and definitely had the team to take it up to them. We had some great patches today and some not-so-great ones – the heat definitely caught us a bit off guard! Really happy with everyone's improvement as the year went on and our ability to be quite a flexible side. I really enjoyed playing and coaching you all, it was really fun – I hope you all had a great year too.
A Grade: Good game girls. Even though we didn't get the win there was s ll plenty of posi ves to come from the game. Everyone played with an increased confidence and determina on this me around which was showing from our performance. It was great that everyone was posi ve and backed each other up on court. First best went to Alice (O'Brien Electrical) for constantly providing an op on down court, being hard to the ball and feeding with confidence. Second went to Chantelle for her movement in the circle and high work rate. Overall, a great team game that only slipped away from us by a few dips in momentum and some missed communica on at mes. Let's work hard to keep be ering our connec ons and come out with the same level of intensity when we next hit the court. Keep up the good work.
A Grade: Last week started as a cracking day, sun out, sunscreen on and the oval looked a treat.
Unfortunately, the game didn't start the same, 3 costly mistakes from our defence lead to the first 3 goals of the game for them. Whilst we wrestled back some control, we were down by 5 points at the break. The 2nd quarter was a bit of a struggle, with Pt Mac slamming on 5 goals whilst we had plenty of opportuni es but couldn't capitalise only managing 1. We shuffled around some magnets at the main break which lead to be er ball movement and scoring rate. Pleasingly we hung tough throughout the 2nd half with a limited bench but couldn't reduce the margin, losing by 24 points. Fingers crossed for Paddy Chay who suffered a knee injury during the 3rd term. Best players were Max Telfer and Brad Wight holding down key defensive roles, Hutchy and Jed Telfer who worked relessly on ball, Mikey Telford down back and on ball, and Webby who started on the wing but rolled back to help the defence in the 2nd half.
B Grade: The boys were keen and ready to get back onto the winners list against the bay, on a sunny spring day and fresh looking deck. We did just that, playing some good patches of footy using our pace and skill to split the game open running out 10 goal winners.
Congratula ons to Harvey Jones who took over Tom Bell in the goal kicking boo ng 7 to win the league award, his first year out of juniors and kicking 40 goals in reserves just goes to show the kid has some
class about him. Harvey named best on ground, Jason Faulkner played a good game around the ground, Bre Watson con nues his string of form. Jack Marino is really taking a liking to his role in the reserves and playing good footy. Padlock lang rounded out the best at full back. We look forward to the week off before tackling a tough task of Kalangadoo for a spot in this year's GF. Go Eagles!
Senior Colts: In a big test for our boys we came out blistering. However, we couldn't manage to contain the pressure and intensity for the 4 quarters. We finish the year in 3rd spot and look forward to improving our effort if we get another shot against the Bay. Our best players were Zak Bowering, James Solomon, Jack Bellinger, Aus n Ne le, Hudson Nowak and Tyson Atkinson. These lads had great games, but we require a full team effort to cause some damage in finals.
Junior Colts: We had a great start to the game going in to the first break leading the minor premiers Pt Mac by 1 point, our intensity was right up from the get go, I couldn't of asked for a be er start by the lads, unfortunately we couldn't keep that intensity going for the second half, Pt Mac kicked away in the 3rd having a 6 goal lead going into the last. We only managed the 3 points a er half me which was frustra ng a er a good first half. Over all happy with the teams season finishing 4th, we move onto Kongorong this week in a knockout final, the boys deserve to keep their finals campaign going!
Junior 2: What a way to end our season! The girls came out firing, they back each other, chased loose balls and moved well all game. Our passing and leading has improved so much since the start of the season and we really showed that today. All the girls listened well and used advice given to them. Teamwork throughout the game and the efforts in any posi on and situa on was fantas c and came together for a fabulous four quarters of netball. Awards: Emma McGrath (Millicent Toy Kingdom), Emily Freebairn (Maccas – Mt Gambier), Poppy Bowering (Denton's Sportspower).
Junior 1: What a strong team effort to finish off the season! We were relentless in defence, reading the play well and turning the ball over me and me again. Our ming, ability to reoffer and vision down the court was impressive, while our shoo ng style and accuracy was outstanding! Well done girls!
Awards: Hazel Hamilton (Gino's Pizza), Sienna Varcoe (HLC).
13 & Under: Hatherleigh (60) def Pt Mac (34). We stood up today in what was a physical contest. Our ability to change direc ons under pressure, chase down the loose balls, back each other up and play with intensity was impressive. Defensive pressure and blocking down the court created plenty of turnovers for us. Our goalies con nue to combine well and shoot with accuracy. Keep working on giving the ball to the player in front rather than pu ng each other under pressure. Awards: Mollie O'Connor (HLC), Alirah Bowman (Denton's Sports Power)
15 & Under: Hatherleigh (43) def Pt Mac (39). We started off with a very tough and well fought ba le against Port Mac. All four quarters were a tough fight but thankfully we came away with the win. Kalli and Sylvie really stepped up with their agility and accuracy in goals. Meeka, Liv, Amber, Chloe, and Hannah created mul ple scoring and possession opportuni es, being the driving force from defence into our a ack line. Poppy, Leni, and Hannah got their hands to countless rebounds and intercep ons, truly making the difference in the scoreline. Great win today girls, hold your heads high going into finals. Awards: Kalli Ne le (Denton's Sports power), Sylvie Barlow (HLC), Poppy Fitzgerald (Denton's Sportspower).
17 & Under: Hatherleigh (39) def by Pt Mac (78). 2023 done and dusted! Well done to everyone today, you all put a great effort out there against a very high-quality side. We gave it our all and put some great passages out there, focusing on some things we implemented at trainings. Well done to Imogen and Niah, you both showed great improvement in your movement and shoo ng, Deni put out four solid quarters, with some great hands to ball. Also well done to Kyah, your a ack onto the ball and footwork throughout was excellent, Ayrlie did very well in WA and WD being able to switch into either spot well. Overall, we have had a mixed bag with this season, but with some very big posi ves to take from it, it has been a pleasure to coach you all and wish Imogen and Halle all the best with their senior netball. Awards: Kyah Carruthers (AllSeasons-of Beauty), Deni Brown (HLC).
B Reserve: Hatherleigh (48) def Pt Mac (39). Well done girls, to finish the minor round with a win and to finish on top of the ladder. With the injury list growing, I saw and felt today's game was a testament to our commitment, self-belief, trust, and determina on in our own abili es and each other. As coaches we are lucky to have the versa lity you bring. Every one of you have played or play your part in our team each week, whether that be on the court, on the bench, taking stats, checking in on the injured or just encouraging your team mates. We would also like to thank the juniors that have helped us throughout the season when needed. We welcome back Kalli today from her s nt in the A Reserve, you certainly are an asset to any team. We now come into the business end of the season where finishing top of the ladder means nothing. Let's li a notch or two and con nue on this journey as a strong and united team, con nue to commit to our club, each other and yourself and see where it takes us. We have everything crossed our injured are fit to play finals and wish Di Loveday a speedy recovery also, we certainly did miss you on the coach's bench Saturday along with the bits and pieces you do for our team. Awards: Sally Bateman (AllSeasons-of-Beauty), Eliza Burton (Gino's Pizza), Nicole Thomas (Somerset Hotel).
B Grade: Hatherleigh (46) def by Pt Mac (52). This unprecedented sunny day at Port Mac started with a beau ful goal scored by Hayley out of the star ng blocks. The B grade girls were well composed and se led, moving the ball quickly across the court and par cularly in and
around the goal circle. Jas and Meg successfully supported the goalies for be er posi oning around the goal and Ellie and Hayley both put scores on the board. Port Mac provided a strong counter a ack which was met by a ruthless Sophie picking rebounds and taking an impressive four intercepts during the first quarter, crea ng turn arounds, and scoring opportuni es for Hatherleigh. The second quarter changes brought Ella on as GD, playing her usual high quality defensive netball, ensuring Hatherleigh remained compe ve. Port Mac didn't waste me, eager to close the gap and capitalising on what appeared like a slightly unse led Hatherleigh side scoring a few quick goals. Demi managed herself well in the WD posi on, successfully taking key intercepts. Jas con nued to strategically place herself around the court to best support the team and gain advantage. Hatherleigh managed to increase their score to a six-goal lead at half me. The game remained compe ve and even amongst the two teams during the first part of the third quarter. A number of changes had Deni successfully stepping up as C from juniors and doing a great job of it. Both sides con nued to play clean but very compe ve netball with limited errors. Sophie took a cracker 'toss-up' which hadn't been seen to much on court this season but made for an entertaining spectacle. The final quarter of netball for this 2023 season for our B grade girls started with a Port Mac goal due to a turnover from our centre pass, this change set the phase. Port Mac found another gear and accurate shoo ng and consistent defensive play allowed Port Mac to score five goals consecu vely with no answer from Hatherleigh. The theme con nued and further mid-quarter changes from coach Nat, allowed the girls to just have some fun as the game became an unlikely win for our side. Even though the game was lost, the girls ended their season on a posi ve and happy note. Awards: Sophie Gibbs (All-Seasons-of-Beauty), Hayley Bell (Mad Penguin), Deni Brown (Somerset Hotel).
A Reserve: Hatherleigh (43) def by Pt Mac (47). Unfortunately, illness struck us again just prior to star ng Saturday and a bit of shuffling around. We started strong with Abby and Imogen in the goal circle, Eliza at WA and Shayla at C, Lucy at WD and Cate started in the defensive circle with Millie due to Sarah unwell. Our intensity, pressure and hard at the ball right from the start was great, taking the lead at quarter me by six. Our second was s ll pre y good with Millie keeping her GS to minimal scoring but our third quarter we had plenty of turnovers in the mid with Lucy who had been unwell all week playing a blinder and followed by Shayla and Ali working hard in the mid-court but Pt Mac's defence started playing more on the body and we started to lose the plot and miss shots, only scoring seven goals for the quarter to find ourselves four goals down at ¾ me. Eliza came in GA in the last quarter and majority of us kept figh ng picking up some good intercepts but unfortunately, we couldn't get the lead back and went down by four goals. Pre y disappoin ng not to make finals especially when we were looking the goods midway through the start of the season, unfortunately injuries and illness took its toll on us. Thank you to Sarah Gray for filling in and doing the scoring today, to Niah Faulkner from the 17's who sat on our bench all year, Olivia Sla ery for being our team manager and Grace Chay our scorer. A huge, big thank you to Liss McGrath for all your support week in and week out, so greatly appreciated. Good Luck to our 13's, 15's and B Reserve ne y teams and our four footy teams all playing in finals in the coming weeks. Awards: Lucy Corman (Somerset Hotel), Shayla Jones (Mad Penguin), Ali McLellan (Since-Fi y-Six).
A Grade: Hatherleigh (46) def Pt Mac (39). Last game of the season for the A girls and again having eight for the game saw us having changes at every break but despite the changes the girls played a great team game to finish the season on a high! We've put in some hard work to work on our structure, intensity and team work and unfortunately hit our straps a li le late to leave us without a finals gig, but we should be proud of our season and the netball we have been playing. Awards: Tegan Telfer (Since-Fi y-Six)), Erin Watson (Somerset Hotel), Demi Vanderhorst (Mad Penguin).
Thanks to all my helpers over the season in the off-court du es being Maree, Anna, Kalli, Sarah, Di, Kate, Anne-Marie, Sam & Olivia. A big thank you to Kerry for her help every week and to the A Res girls who played and sat bench throughout the year. Good luck to the Hatherleigh teams going into the finals.
Hard to believe the final round has been done and once again we got to celebrate some milestone games for some devoted club people in Westy’s 200th and Cam Auld in 100th games as we welcomed the Murphies to Magpie Park in a perfect day for footy
There was a touch of spring in the air and with the oval in perfect condi on for footy our youngest magpies, all nearly 40 of them, got the day underway as they have done al year under the watchful eye of Boxy, Sholzy and crew and as always never disappointed. While a few of the U11’s go up to Junior Colts next year, there will s ll be huge numbers and will con nue watching them grow and develop their cra along with the enjoyment they bring when watching them.
Congratula ons to all that have helped grow and work with our youngest footballers throughout 2024 and to all the players we cant wait to see what the future holds for you all.
Junior Colts: Coming up against 2nd place Glencoe was always going to be a tough ask for Macca’s crew but with the con nual growth of the group and some quality footy over the past weeks along with having an abundance of numbers the Junior Colts made sure the Murphies had to work hard throughout the game and didn’t have it their own way The scoreboard didn’t reflect how the game was played as we had plenty of the ball around the ground however size won out in the end. Best players went to Joe Box, Elodie Burr, Nathaniel Cooper, Blake Ross, Jessie Dekoning & Aiden Cooper With only a handful moving up into senior colts and some ready-made players stepping up from U11’s the U14’s will be one to watch next year as they look to con nue the good work from this season.
Senior Colts: In what’s been a tough trying year for our Senior Colts full credit to Tommy and the playing group in con nually fron ng up each week and ba ling it out to represent the black and white. With the addi on of a few Penola lads once again it looked a very even match up around the ground and showed that with a group of players our Senior Colts can be more than compe ve against any side. With plenty of the footy and run throughout the 4 quarters the Colts were in the game right up un l the final siren and not for some inaccurate kicking would have seen the 3rd win for the season. Best players – In his final game of junior footy Connor, Nateo, Coop, Harry, Brycie, Marcus Brand and Brycie. As Tommy has said, its about development and looking to the future and senior footy and we have several ready made seniors set to go in the very near future.
B Grade: Another super day for football at Kalangadoo as the
Magpies faced Glencoe. A er a strong win the week before it was important for the B Grade that they con nued to build on form heading into a finals campaign. Brad Male was strong in the ruck and was able to provide the mid-filed with first use. Brad was also really good around the ground and this enabled Flare Phillips, Chris Mules and Ricky Lindner to move the ball forward. In a change of roles Jacob Simmonds played forward and was able to boot 8 majors with Tyler Jones also contribu ng 8 goals for the game. This enabled the Pies to run out comfortable winners in the end, especially important as we celebrated and acknowledged 200 games for Des West and 100 games for Cam Auld. As we head into finals we would like to acknowledge the Club and all the volunteers who help us get on the ground every Saturday, your efforts are really appreciated.
A Grade: Si ng in 3rd spot going into the final round it was going to take a big win by the A’s and then relying on other results to fall our way to jump into 2nd spot and the double chance. Glencoe are never a side to take lightly as have some handy playmakers, but Lynsey had the maggies up and about ready to put on a show in what was the final home game for the year. As expected the Murphies pushed hard early and halfway through the 1st the scores were level but with Jaggs Pra repelling the ball out of defence constantly and the forwards ge ng hold found us with a 26 point lead at quarter me. The second quarter the work around the contest increased with the midfield star ng to get on top in winning clearances and providing quality ball to the forwards and allowing them to go to work while the defence held resolute not allowing the Murphies a score for the quarter meaning a 67-point lead at the main break. Something that we haven’t been able to do a lot of in season 2023 is put sides away over the 4 quarters and at half me Lynsey urged the group to not back off now and put the foot on the throat and finish the game off strongly in second half. And that they did by only allowing the Murphies the solitary goal in the second half while adding another 16 goals to our tally to record a comprehensive 158-point victory and at the same me securing 2nd spot and the double chance. Best players – Jaggs Pra , Dylan Bromley, Tye McManus, Sco Agnew, Mitch Lowe & Brad Auld.
With the finals ahead for both senior sides and several of the netballers it’s a great me to be around the club and need to make sure we get around the players as embark on what will be another exci ng finals campaign for the black & white.
Junior 2: Mini magpies made us all proud with the vast improvement, great sportsmanship and awesome plays that have developed. Everyone got best on today with a special men on to Alyssa, Zali, and Ariella. I know the footwork is ready for J1 level and the ball handling skills also. Well done and thanks to the parents that helped and children for being so coachable, it has been an epic year, and so much growth! You be er all be back next year, because you are all a bunch of absolute legends with huge netball poten al.
Junior 1: A er a bit of a slow start we came out firing in the second half. Lots of defensive pressure caused many turnovers with some lovely passing into the ring to the goalies. Once again there were lots of posi onal changes to give everyone a go, all players take up any challenge with a great effort. Harper (Penola Recyclers) played her usual quiet but consistent game while Emily showed her incredible progress in defence, earning the Wendy’s award. This li le team has come so far this season and have been lots of fun to coach. Thank you to all the players and their families for their support and encouragement with my first year of coaching.
13 & Under: A solid team game from all seven players who worked hard to win their posi ons. Tekani (Wendy’s award) had another fabulous defensive game ge ng lots of intercepts and rebounds. Molly (Penola Recycling) was also outstanding and provides good leadership on court. We had some really great passages of play where we led in front and made strong passing choices. Now it’s the serious end of the season as we head into finals!
15 & Under: A great way to finish the minor rounds with a strong and focused game. Shayden (Wendy’s), Lucy and Kiersten combined well and shot with great accuracy. Zoe (Penola Recyclables) Maya and Molly applied pressure in the goal circle and down the court crea ng lots of extra opportuni es for our a ack line. It’s so nice to see us taking the intercepts and strong balls with 2 hands. Ava drove well and fed from the circle beau fully and Chloe as always was outstanding wherever we put her Be proud of the season we have had but now the real work starts.
17 & Under: Such a fun group with so much chat (not always about netball)! Good to see us finally ge ng our two claps in perfect me and making Jenna happy. A lot of different combina ons and some players choice on posi ons led to a fun and entertaining game.
Who knew we had so many wannabe goalies! Ash (Penola Recyclables) showed her versa lity both ends of the court and Allara (Kiralee Jade) moved well in the circle and shot some lovely goals. Thanks for the season girls, you never failed to make us smile and we definitely improved over the year. Hope to see you all back here next season.
B Reserve: Was great to finish the minor rounds with a solid win. Everyone did what they needed to do to win their posi ons and implement the work that we have been pu ng in at training. The belief in ourselves and one another is back and we will con nue to back each other all through finals. Best players were Bec (Globe), Jodi (Sheltons) and Gem (BFT).
B Grade: Great way to end the minor rounds girls. We again had new combina ons but everyone adjusted and combined really well together. Lydia and Ebs feeds into the goalies were on point finished off with another consistent and accurate game by Bel in goals. The defensive end were on fire crea ng lots of turnovers which were rewarded by the a ack end. Again a massive thank you to our young guns Abby, Eb and Maya for stepping up and filling in when we’ve needed you, and thank you to Jenna for si ng bench for us today. Let’s the keep up the posi vity and hard work going into finals. Demi (globe hotel award) and Emily (Kirralie Jade award).
A Reserve: A fantas c win for our last minor round game! We came out firing and didn’t let up for the en re game. The flow down court was much more consistent and the defensive pressure was as strong as it has been all season. Gina and Sophie found each other easily and con nually improve to be a strong combina on. Re and both Georgia’s created plenty of turnovers both in and around the circle all game. Enjoy the week off girls and let’s come out with everything we have against Robe. Best Re Wetherall (Sheltons Butchers) and Lucy Williams (Globe).
A Grade: Slow start had us playing catch-up. Great team effort to increase our intensity and persist. Defensively we were able to provide opportuni es in the second half to secure the win. Thank you to our sideline support. Best players: Abbey (Commercial Hotel) and Jane (BFT).

Last weeks reviews and award winners:

13 & Under: Yeah! What a way to finish the season off girls with an awesome win 3039! Highlight for us as coaches was to see some of that hard work in training really paying off. Each and every player played their part, from the defensive pressure, through to mid court bringing the ball and the shooters comple ng the task. Awards this week went to each and every player, working as a team.
15 & Under: What a game! You girls came out and gave it your all and it showed. You chased every loose ball. Faught hard for rebounds and made the game flow down the court. You all have made me so proud. Everything we have worked on at trainings you girls took on board and worked well together. Im so proud of you all. If I could I would give you all best players. Best players were Harmony Kent (Fasta Pasta) and Demi Jennings (money). Special shout out to Imogen for shoo ng 13 goals in the last quarter! Well done and I’m sure you all made Maddie proud.
17 & Under: Finals bound baby! It was so great to go out and see us play with such a high level of intensity throughout the en re match but remain so pa ent and controlled with the ball. It was because of this that we we're able to get a 10 goal win so we know we're more than capable of being compe ve with the teams above us and will be able to carry that mindset into finals. Great game today girls, so proud of you all. Best players Becky Duivenvoorde - Lima and Co and Paige Hicks - Confession.
B Reserve: Awesome game against Tantanoola. The defensive pressure was strong all game. You were all leading in front and our passing was good. Tamika & Courtney H worked hard in defence and were able to get the ball back down our shoo ng end for a goal. Marnee and Julie
worked well through the centre court and Le ta was having one of her best games for the season and was quite o en open and free and the use of her arms was great throughout the whole game. Amber started well in shooter but had to come off with a calf injury. Great effort with Amie not feeling 100 percent taking her spot and giving her all for the next 3 quarters.
Courtney S & Amie held their space in the goal circle and were able to score well.
Tamika came into GS in the last quarter and also shot well. Great team effort to end the season. Well done everyone, you have improved so much throughout the year and I think it really showed today. Awards: Courtney SLima & Co, Courtney HConfessions.
B Grade: Great game girls! Loved coaching you all for the year. Congratula ons to Lyl for finishing the season strong and welcome to re rement! See you at presos!
A Reserve: A disappoin ng loss to end the season! We started with a strong lead, but the heat got to us. Today seen all players very fa gued as the game went on, with an unexpectedly sunny day A ack worked well in the circle, feeding and shoo ng. Today's best players, Zara Vonstanke receiving the Lima and Co voucher, & Kaylah Farrell with the Commercial Hotel voucher
A Grade: Bad luck girls. Probably not the way we wanted or could have finished the season but I'm proud of our effort and development through the year. We showed patches today that are really posi ve and show how well we can play when we are all playing together and using our heads. Commitment to the ball was huge all over the court today but Riley (The Commercial Hotel) and Emily (South Eastern) took a huge amount of body and stood tall for four quarters to earn themselves best players.
Junior Colts: For the last game of the season for us burr boys the junior colts turned on a great performance. A er a slow start Reed and Levi took the game on and shined. The two major standouts were Logan and Sonny, they played 4 quarters of great footy. With the season done and dusted just wanted to give a men on to all the parents who have helped out with coaching these young boys this year. My first season of coaching wouldn’t have been as smooth sailing as it was if it wasn’t for the great support of the parents and club. I look forward to seeing these boys grow and develop not only as footballers but people.
Senior Colts: Last week the senior colts had a huge challenge to hold on to fourth spot and a finals berth. Unfortunately we were not able to come away with the win against Robe who have now taken fourth spot meaning we are likely to miss finals by one game. The boys have had a good year with a couple of costly lapses but have all improved their football. Best players were Charlie Bevan, Brady Sharp, Jackson Dean, Bradlee Lawson, Sam Hunt and Cohen Montuori.
B Grade: And just like that another season is over. Our final game ended with a compe ve effort against a near full strength Robe team. Despite winning lots of the ball we couldn’t put it on the scoreboard. Best players were Nick Morrison, Frazer Johnston, Ben Ballantyne, Brock Sandow, Jacob Gregory and Mark Teagle. Thanks to everyone that has helped out the B grade in any way this year. To all my players, I hope to see all of you back in the
green & gold next year.
A Grade: Round 17 saw our final game for 2023 down @ Robe. Before the game we spoke about effort and a commitment to finishing the year off well as a group. Robe were able to make the most of their opportuni es where we were not. It was pleasing to see our boys con nuing to crack in and have a go all day, working hard throughout the 4 quarters. Best players for the day were - 1. Jackson Dean who has played a huge role for us all year as a Snr Colter playing a key posi on. Was up for the ba le against Smithy and held him well all day. 2. Sam Wallis who again spoiled and contested everything within a 100m radius with his long arms. 3. Jack Muhovics who again lead the way with his contested work and repeat efforts. 4. Horse Guye who once again played a role for us and did it well, doing what was needed to contest everything. Found himself up forward in the last but was unable to find the scoreboard. 5. Dylan Ridley who despite seeing yellow early in the game s ll proved he’s one of the best midfielders in the compe on by ge ng plenty of the ball. 6. Josh Fiebig who started forward before pushing up onto the wing and finding plenty of it himself. Rarely loses a contest. That’s it from me, thanks again to all who help make Mt Burr what it is and suppor ng us throughout. Special thanks to my support team of Jenna, Mack, Teddy, Rue & Ar ecouldn’t have done it without you.
All the best to the netballers in the finals!

Junior 2: What a game! You girls have shown so much improvements within this season and it's fantas c to see! You all should be so proud.

Awards went to Mia (Fasta Pasta) for her defensive efforts all game and Eva (Donut King) for her great reoffering and movement to create space. Thanks to Zoe for umpiring and Sarah for scoring.
13 & Under: Well done girls, good team game. We played some great netball in wet condi ons. We s ll need have pa ence bring the ball down the court and make sure we are looking down the court to give the ball. We had lots of changes and some of the girls played in different posi ons, but everyone adapted well, and played and support each other with great communica on all over the court. Lets come out firing against Robe today. Thanks again for Poppy filling in. Thanks to Shannon for scoring, Stacey for ming and Simone for umpiring. Awards went to Hannah –Denton’s Sportpower, Hope – Subway, Jessica – Donut King and Poppy – Zambrero.
15 & Under: Well done girls. Today was a game that we were able to strengthen our weaker aspects of our game. We just need to work on our talking and communica on. The start of our game seen us a bit rocky but as the quarters progressed we got stronger and a lot more confident. Best players went to Kaylah (Boost) for having confidence, posi oning well on the circle and feeding our goalies accurately. Stella (Subway) for her 4 persistent quarters and talking to her teammates. Sarah (Cafe Melzar) for her accurate shoo ng and a strong quarter in C.

17 & Under: The wet weather made it tricky to move the ball quickly, however you adapted to condi ons and had strong hands to catch the ball. Our a acking line showed strength with driving onto the circle edge, having pa ence when passing and clearing space for each other. Ashlee, Jemma and Jazmine all shot with accuracy, making the most of any turnovers that Olivia, Abbey and Ella fed in. It took a li le while for our centre court defence to block the drive out of the defence line, but Macy, Ella and Tilly all made intercep ons due to great body
posi oning and an cipa ng where the ball may go. Your flexibility and talent in a range of posi ons was again on show. Great work in the cold, damp condi ons. Congratula ons to Jemma for winning the Muffin Break award and Oliviah for the Zambreros. Thanks Nathan for scoring, Ma for ming and Zoe for umpiring.

Awards went to Hannah – Millicent Florist, Sophie – Fasta Pasta and Zali – Zambrero.
B Grade: Congratula ons girls, what a fantas c win yesterday. We played our own game and held our composure against a very physical side. Defence was consistent in the goal circle with Stacy and Charlo e ge ng many intercepts and rebounds and with pressure applied from mid court many turnovers were made. Tilly and Mackenzie worked hard to make sure there shots counted and their teammates turnovers were well deserved. The contest in the goal circle was very physical so well done to play 4 quarters and shoot accurately. Thank you to Makaylah Gregory for filling in for us on Saturday, Holly team manager, Karen and Sophie for scoring/ me keeping and Jody for umpiring. Best players Tilly Gamble, Charlo e Shaw
A Reserve: What a be er start to the game this week, you came out firing working well as a team, being pa ent with our passage of plays. We finished the first quarter 7 goals up.

Also congratula ons to Abbey on making her A grade debut a er already playing 2 games. Awards: Maddi B – Millicent Florist, Alisha –Fasta Pasta.
A Grade: Round 16 saw us take on Kongorong. We started the game a lot more focused than the prior week, coming off at the first break with a five goal lead. Our goal for the rest of the game was to build on that lead. It was great to have the young gun Ashlee Dean back in the side, crea ng space and shoo ng accurately. This combined with the defensive combina on of Madi and Olivia, helped us to gain a 16 goal lead at half me. We made a few changes going into the third quarter, with Abbey Fal ng coming into WA and making her A Grade debut. She held her own super well and slo ed into the team perfectly. Our final quarter saw our captain Laura step aside to allow Ella to come into the C posi on and play with her fellow 17s teammate and friend Abbey on her debut.
The selflessness of all the girls this season has been a pleasure to watch and coach. The young girls played super well together, with the guidance of our experienced Ebony Ebony really stepped up in the second half of the game, direc ng and crea ng the play for the young ones. It was hard to pick best players as it was such a team game, with everyone playing excep onally well. But our standouts were Madi Hagge , crea ng turnover a er turnover and Ashlee Dean who has been incredible every me she has taken the court. She has an exci ng future ahead of her and we can't wait to be apart of it! Congratula ons again to Abbey Fal ng on making her debut, it was a pleasure to watch you shine.

Under 11: Thanks for all the under 11's who played today and to their parents for ge ng them to the game, it was a good hit out and the kids showed a lot of effort and ba led hard all day with some really good patches of play. For today's best player award I've given it to a player who tried really hard with good skills, made a lot of second efforts, and who's tackling and pressure was good to watch and that was young Zander. Well done to Zander and well done to all the kids on a good game. Cheers.
Junior Colts: Last game of the year for our under 14s, although we didn't get the result we wanted it was a great game to be a part of Beau ful weather at Nangwarry made for some clean skills all day, some great footy to watch. It's easy to look at a final score of 70 to 14 Robe’s way and think yep that's a loss, but to watch the way we played you'd think it was a lot closer. We had a lot of the ball in 50 just needed some composure in front of goals and we could've been a lot closer. Absolutely rapt with everyone's efforts on the day, we played some good footy throughout and it was exci ng to watch.
B Grade: Well as the year draws to an end, the boys have improved on last year. Winning 5 games last season to 7 wins and a draw this season. Thanks to everyone who helped out during the season. Yesterday game was a fantas c effort and the scores reflect the game. Libba had his best game for the season, Josh Smith was in everything, the Neshoda boys had great game and Sco y played his usual game. Hope to see all you boys back next season and to the boys re ring thanks. A special
men on to the senior colts who came up and helped out. One can't leave out a special men on to Jordan Hagget for missing a goal in the goal square. Goals Ben D 2, Chappo 1, Hagget 1. Stay safe and go the Saints.
A Grade: A great day of weather greeted us for our last ou ng for the year and was great to finish in front of a large home crowd confirming that the boys are playing a brand of football that gets our supporters through the gate and something to cheer about. We wanted to reward our hard work for the season with a strong showing against a top 4 side. Robe got the jump on us early and were finding op ons out the back of stoppages and short kicking out of defence before we se led and ghtened up in these areas to regain control of play when we had the ball and making their op ons more difficult when they had the ball. We went in to quarter me trailling by 11 points. The supporters witnessed a good brand of football for next two quarters and both teams presented a ghtly fought contest and although we had more scoring shots in the second and third quarters inaccuracy prevented us from leading at each of the breaks. In the last quarter Robe got the upper hand to run out winners by 38pts but our boys remained determined and did not give in un l the final siren. The scoreboard was not reflec ve of our effort on the day. Goal kickers were Andy Hyland and Tyler Virgo with 3 goals each and singles to BJ Deamer and Brodie Parsons. Congratula ons to Andy Hyland for another stellar year in front of goals finishing the season with 57 goals. Best player awards went to Marcus Thomson, Thomas Vanderhorst, Jack Pudney, Tyler Virgo, Ty Dinnison and Joel Virtanen.
Congratula ons on a super effort this year boys. You have put the club in its best posi on in a decade and you gained respect from your compe tors and as a reward for your efforts the club did not receive the wooden spoon for first me in 10 years. Each week you con nued to train well determined to improve your cra . We have such a wonderful list of young talent that is now gaining experience we cannot wait to see what you can do next season a er another pre season under your belt.
A big shout out to our coaching staff Butch Muhovics, Josh Smith and Marcus Thomson, our wonderful training staff Rossy, Gobba and Robyn, team manager Gadget, runner Trevor Fenn, Mick Boneham, President Plugger, our hard working commi ee and game day volunteers.

I'm so proud of you all, the improvement you have all made this season had been huge. You all should also be proud of yourselves. Hopefully you all con nue on next year and keep improving together. Team effort for last game
13 & Under: What a fantas c last game guys! It was excellent to see everyone working together as a team to come away with a win! Darcy and Lucy did a great job in in goals!

First best went to Ella for her strong and accurate passing all game. Second best went to James for his hard work in defence.
15 & Under: What a great game. Both teams had plenty of great passages of play and high skilled netball was on display to all who watched. Although we didn't get the win to finish off the season you should all be proud of how you played. Great way to finish the season. It has been a pleasure to coach you all. Hopefully you all con nue to play netball for years to come. Big thank you to all who umpired, scored and med throughout the year. Enjoy the break and your summer sports. Stay safe.
17 & Under: Well girls! That's a wrap! What a year hey! We had some really good moments this game where what we had spoken about previously was actually happening so it was really good to see. It was always going to be a tough game but all I wanted for you guys was to enjoy your last game. Thank you all for accep ng me as your coach half way through the season. It was such a pleasure to have you. Good luck to Em, Tanisha and Mads on going up to seniors next year, I just know you are all going to do so well! See you all next year!

B Reserve: What a great last game! This was definitely up there with one of our
be er games. Everyone played incredibly today, and what a glorious day it was for our final game. Thanks for an amazing season - we may have not scored a win, but the growth I've seen from you all as not only players but team mates has made me nothing short of an incredibly proud couch. Best player today was Jessie - a new addi on to our club this year and an absolute asset to our team. You played an amazing game and deserve the recogni on.
B Grade: Thank you girls for a great season! You were all a pleasure to coach and I have made some epic friends. We were unlucky to not get any wins but you all worked relessly every week and always implemented the small things into your game plan that you learnt at trainings. As a coach all I hoped for was to help improve your game so hopefully I taught you all something on the court. I hope the new girls enjoyed their first season as a saint and con nue on for many years. Saturday's game was one of an cipa on as we agreed to mix things up a li le and boy did we! I have had a number of comments about how much fun it sounded over at court 2 with many footballers who were playing even saying how infec ous our happiness was. Some mes it isn't about winning but about having fun and from the side lines that was exactly what it looked like. To those making comments such as “don't you get bored and cold when the ball is at the other end all the me” I hope netball is s ll fun for you? Because even though the ball doesn't come down our end a lot not one person from my side le the court unhappy on Saturday. Love you girls! A Reserve: It was a tough game on Saturday and you should all be proud of how even at the end you were all s ll giving 100%. Bri and Lyndall had the hardest job of us all as Robe's goalies were unstoppable. It is hard to defend at the best of mes but those two were on fire rarely missing a shot. A big thank you to Chloe who stepped in and played again this week, it was a pleasure to have you and your pa ence in the mid court. I have missed playing with you and it was nice to have your guidance in the mid court these last few weeks. Meighan and Kaitlyn worked hard in the goal circle and seemed to se le when we were took our me and played a more se led game of netball. Ella you have an amazing arm span and when you apply great defensive pressure you are able to get your hands to many balls. I really believe if we were all able to have a great game on the same day we would have been lucky enough to have got a win this season but unfortunately we were not able to get all 7 girls in sync.
A Grade: We started off much be er this week bringing ball down a lot just struggled at mes to get it into circle with some pressure defence. We had though so many great patches of play, so much improvement. Everyone worked real hard and defence got many intercepts. Last quarter was much be er we improved as the game went on. Well done this season girls, good to see that we improved the score line last half of the year. We all knew it was going to be tough from the start and the girls that stuck it out me thank you for your efforts this season. Thanks to Tahlia and Claire for joining the team when we needed players, you both did so well and improved weekly. Thanks to youngster Scarle that stepped up this season and really gave it a crack, forever ge ng be er with every game under her belt. Without you 3 we never would of had a side. Thanks to all the Ares girls for also helping out when we needed it. Thanks to Cassie for scoring every week and Asha and Julie for ming. Let's keep our heads up and regroup ready for next season. Best Claire and Hayley
Mini Colts: Encouragement awards
donated by Bakers Delight this week and they went to all the players. Jai asked the boys to reflect on all they had learned this season and put it into ac on and they did just that. The boys came away undefeated this season, this is a future premiership team. Goal kickers were Mitch Lewis, Charlie Lasle , Max Wilson, Zachary Howard, Jaxon
Hulse, Brock Lewis, Kade GrosvenorJunior Colts: Hatherleigh gave our side a strong challenge in our last minor round game. They came out of the blocks flying and had us on the back foot early. We managed to respond late in the first to go into quarter me just behind. We made some changes and encouraged the team to want to be first at the ball which they started doing. Half me saw some more changes made which led to a 5 goal term. 3 of these were kicked by super boot Beau! It was also in this quarter that we played some outstanding footy with every player standing up and doing their bit. By the end of the game, we were able to run away with a great win leading into finals. Now we move into the 2nd semi against Glencoe who got the be er of us on their home deck. Hopefully with the training we’ve been doing over the past 2 months will help change that result.
Senior Colts: For the final home and away game we welcomed Hatherleigh down to the Bay on a day which was perfect for football. The first quarter was a real even contest with both sides bringing the heat. A er addressing some improvements at quarter me, the boys kicked 7 goals in the 2nd quarter to take a decent advantage into the 2nd half. The boys con nues their style of footy and managed to finish the game with a 79 to 25 win, bringing some momentum into finals. The coaches and club are extremely proud of how far this group has come but we are not done yet! Plenty of hard work at training over the next few weeks in needed to give ourselves the best chance of ge ng a shot at a Grand Final. Best players sponsored by the Whan Family were Pa rick Robinson who was instrumental across hal ack, Kai Gilmore kicked goals from anywhere, Riley Morgan played a consistent 4 quarters, Jaob Spehr con nues to show how good he is down back (much to his disgust), Zaylen Smith was rock solid in the backline and Brodie Anderson had a great game up forward.
B Grade: Port MacDonnell 4.6 lost to Hatherleigh 13.10. What a beau ful day in the Bay! The sun was shining, the wind was non existent (almost), there were no scratching's on the team sheet, Linda made cupcakes for a er the game, no one was seriously injured and the oxygen tanks only came out at half me… it's just a pity we didn't finish with a win. It was more like when you are at the top of a steep hill with a go-cart, your mates give you a push and you gently start to roll and then as you gain momentum, the wheels wobble, steering goes out the window and you start to think, hmmm... this could end badly but jeez it's a lot of fun. Un l you see a wheel go past and make it to the bo om before you do! And you're barrel rolling out of control un l you stop. With a never say die a tude and like he was “on a mission from God!”, Ryan Von Stanke won the BOG for his tenacity on the ball both in the back lines and through the midfield. “Joliet Jake“ Turner and Ma (Murphy) Stark gave the Hatherleigh forwards the “Blues” with hard-hi ng stoppages, both players crea ng opportuni es in the midfield and pushing the ball forward. Jai Li le and Isaac Na rass 'rocked' the flanks providing much needed run while Jess “Aretha F” Feast earned himself a 'li le R.E.S.P.E.C.T.'
for his terrier like a ack on the ball and around the packs, driving the play forward at every turn. Of the 4 goals kicked Aaron “Elwood” Harding hit the sweet spot twice while Ryan “Ray“ Von Stanke and Jai Li le both 'shook a tailfeather' with one each. There are many to thank in pu ng on this li le show… Adam Lewis for coaching, the last minute phone calls, his begging and outright thievery and promises in order to get a team on the field; Ducky and Ron O'Dine for bench coaching, (Ducky for pulling on the boots!); Hayley Goodwin for her team managing par excellence and pu ng up with a bunch of estrogen deficient men! (who says girls are drama queens!); Shaneo for running… and running! To all the lads who helped with the boundaries and water; Gordy Lewis for goal umpiring, you are not just a top dad but a top bloke too; to Tracey and her team for taping up, rubbing down and keeping the 'life' in life support going; to all the Senior Colts who played 2 games in order for us to field a team on occasion; to all the cameo players, the players who turned up for training (once in a while) and to those who just played this year (there really was far too many to men on!). And to the faithful who came to watch. Our season has now come full circle (where has the year gone?) from a Top Gun opening to a Breakfast Club finish (with a fist punch in the air from Judd Nelson!) we've made it through another season. So… let's see you Red and Blue(s) Brothers get out there again in 2024! Put that wheel back on the go-cart… and I'll see you back at the top of the hill! Go Demons!
A Grade: Port MacDonnell 16.10 def Hatherleigh 12.8. The weather gods were smiling at the Bay and with the grounds in top condi on the stage was set for a quality game of footy. Despite the fact we will finish as Minor Premiers for the 2023 season, Hatherleigh are a dark horse in the race to Finals and therefore not be taken lightly. Both teams came out hard and fast in the first quarter and with even scoring shots for goals our accuracy in the breezy condi ons gave us the head start we needed to stay on top of this game. It proved to be a grueling match and while we had control of the 2nd quarter, we let the momentum slip a li le in the 3rd le ng the Eagles back into the game. We finished stronger in the 4th, but we will need to fix that 3rd quarter slump going forward. Colby Munro again ne ed a BOG for his pace through the field and hard drive at the footy along the flank. Ned Wilke stabilized the CHB and midfield yet again with another stand out performance earning him 2nd place in the BP list. Chris an Howle dominated the CHF line not only kicking a goal himself but assis ng in many of our majors. Will Macdonald and Tim Sullivan took charge of the ruck workload throughout the game, their talent and height giving us the advantage for much of the day. Lockie Tilley played his usual no holds barred game, whipping through the packs, and delivering the ball with ease to the forward lines and even managed to score a couple of goals himself in the process. Josh Woodall rounded out the BP list with his consistent effec veness roving the ball. Of the 16 goals scored, Kev Thomson kicked 4, Josh Woodall 3, Lockie Tilley 2, A Ridding, C Howle , T Sullivan, W Macdonald, N Wilke, L Bo omley and Adam Kuhl all kicked one each. The minor rounds are now over, and the real workload begins as we train toward that ul mate prize of Grand Final glory. From this point on, NO game is to be considered certain, our discipline, training and fitness will determine our outcome. Train hard to play hard… Go Demons!
Junior 2: What a great effort for our last game girls! To see the improvement in each & every one of you from the start of the season to the end has been so rewarding. Everyone played a great game yesterdayRuby had a cracker, moving so well & taking intercepts, Imogen got numerous touches at WD & shot a great long bomb goal! Ellie was busy in defence - reading the ball so well & crea ng turnovers, while Des ny shot our first goal of the game & moved so well in the circle. Emilee was her reliable self in GK, gaining intercepts & some rebounds. Milah also worked really hard in both a ack & defence, driving well & intercep ng. Pippa also had a great game, ran really well in C & found some space right down the court & chased all the loose balls. Lucy was busy again, running hard into space & looking for those intercepts that she was successful in ge ng. Fantas c effort girls all year, it's been a pleasure to coach you & I really hope we see you all back again next year! All girls received a Donut King voucher today
Junior 1: The girls put up a fantas c fight against Hatherleigh. What a super last game. Thank you to our sponsors today, Boost Juice and Bakers Delight, awards went to all players.
13 & Under: Port MacDonnell 34 defeated by Hatherleigh 60. The excitement was high, and the determina on was there, but the tears a er the game showed how bad the girls wanted it, although Hatherleigh came out stronger than we expected. Bad luck girls, we'll get 'em next year! Each and every week these girls gave their everything growing immensely on the court from being such a shy bunch of girls to the most cha y and sassy bunch! I couldn't be prouder to be their coach and couldn't ask for a be er group of girls! Thank you to the parents and umpires who volunteered their me, and to our opposi on for a great season! Awards: Kasey McLean (Fasta Pasta), Addison Smith (Fasta Pasta).
15 & Under: Port MacDonnell 39 defeated by Hatherleigh 43. What a great team effort and well fought out game today girls. Even though the score line didn't show in our favour in the end, I think we should all be so proud of ourselves for coming back and bringing the margin to an even draw in the last quarter. It was just a few bad passes that let Hatherleigh over that line. We had great defensive pressure the whole way down the court, we had great transi on once we had control over the ball and slowed it down to our speed. It's great to see that some of the defensive pressure we're learning has started to pay off in the middle and that you are listening to your coach on the side line. We had some different combina ons today and to say they worked was an understatement, and it's great knowing now going into finals we have some different op ons if things are not working. Our a ack line is looking be er, and we aren't ge ng stagnant. We are realising when things are not working and when we need to move which is incredibly important now going into finals. We had some great posi ve talk out there today and it shows on court that we are out to back one another up at all mes. Everyone today should be proud of their efforts, and it will be good to train both nights next week ready to hit the court firing and hopefully get the win too. Awards: Bailee Lewis (Subway), Bree Ridding (Arena).
17 & Under: Port MacDonnell 78 defeated Hatherleigh 39. In the final of the minor rounds, our girls faced an unpredictable Hatherleigh side. The last me the two sides met, torren al winds and rain made for an uncharacteris cally scrappy game so this was not a team to be underes mated. The bay girls started strong, ge ng a couple of quick scores on the board, a credit to our hard working defensive ou it to provide opportuni es to convert.
Hatherleigh slowed our scoring in the second quarter, however our girls managed to hold on un l half me. From here the Port Mac girls kicked it up a gear and really began to capitalise on every opportunity Lara Wilson posi oned well in goals and moved well outside the circle to get the scores we needed to build our lead. Ruby Moody was fantas c in defence, figh ng to get stop a er stop when considerably outsized by her opponent. Stevie Collins once again showed everyone that she truly is a defensive force to be reckoned with, working hard un l the final whistle. The star of the show this week however was Sophie Lewis, providing control into the a ack line and explosive drives in transi on, leading her team to a win. Our girls will now play Mount Burr in the second semi final in Tantanoola, be sure to get out and support this fantas c group of young ladies! Awards: Sophie Lewis (Kirralie Jade Makeup), Stevie Collins (Arena Sports).
B Reserve: Port MacDonnell 39 defeated by Hatherleigh 48. Wasn't the way to finish the round but let's focus on what is now ahead of us. Together as a team we we'll work hard, gain the upper hand to successfully reach our goal. Keep pushing hard and doing everything that you can for your team! Awards received by Amber Moulden & Brooklyn Jones. Thanks to our sponsors Victoria Hotel Shipwreck Bistro, Taylormade Hair and Beauty and F45 Mount Gambier
B Grade: Port MacDonnell 52 defeated Hatherleigh 46. A slow start had us on the back foot, chasing hard. We put pressure on ourselves and made li le mistakes. Once we found our rhythm we were able to work the ball around and find space and our goalies Jess and Kelly under the post. Precision passing and strong execu on allowed us the opportunity to gain momentum. Candice and De worked hard to gain the upper hand and push forward with strength in the a ack line. We worked incredibly hard together as team to reach our desired outcome. Jenni, Montanna and Elivia's strong defence all over the court provided us with turnovers which were capitalised on. The a ack line shuffle provided us with a strong tall target under post. Lilly providing great value. A fantas c team effort. Awards: Lilly Day (Shipwreck Bistro, Victoria Hotel Port MacDonnell), Jenni Taylor (F45).
A Reserve: Port MacDonnell 47 defeated Hatherleigh 43. Very slow start on the score board today as Hatherleigh came out firing and wanted that win. We were all very flat and literally didn't look like we wanted to be out on the court. Coming into the second half something changed and we started gaining momentum and playing the game I know we all can play. Slowing pinning back the score line one turnover and goal at a me, we were able to come away with the win. We really need to work hard at training and keep pushing to try and get as far as we can in this finals series. Awards: Izzy Sneath (Victoria Hotel), Nic Collins (Periwinkles).
A Grade: Port MacDonnell 39 defeated by Hatherleigh 46. Last game today for you girls and not the season ending game we hoped or aimed for. You all have definitely grown throughout the season as players and individuals, and it was great to see you all go from strength to strength. Our only downfall was not being able to play 4 consistent quarters, always having that 1 quarter that let us down. I am very excited to see where the next few seasons will lead you all cause I truly believe if you stay together and keep building on the fundamentals you've grown you will be a team to watch out for. Best - team effort and Alysha Coon, sponsored by K&S Freighters (Victoria Hotel), Michelle Moore sponsored by Merre Logging (Periwinkles Cafe).
Junior Colts: The boys were determined to finish the season on a high: during the week they trained with great enthusiasm, focus and intensity. This a tude, and approach, was carried into Saturday’s game. We made a good start, that was built upon as the game progressed. Each player did what they were asked to do, played the way we wanted; never giving up, doing their best at every contest, being accountable for their opponent, and doing everything possible to contribute to a total team effort and a win. It was pleasing that the ball was shared around at every opportunity, resul ng in 7 goal scorers, and a 56 point win. Really the whole team played well, each player should feel proud of their contribu on. Players considered to be high on the list were: Byron (best game of the year), John, Flynn, Conrad, Eli, Vinnie, Brodie and Spencer. Goal scorers were: Byron with 3; John with 2, and 1 each to Eli, Joey, Booda, Nate, and Vinnie. I have really enjoyed coaching the young blokes this year, the support I have received has been fantas c, and I look forward to con nuing discussions with our Junior Colts Execu ve about how we can go about
next year. To all of our football and netball teams involved in the finals; all the best, do yourselves proud, walk off the oval / court knowing that you have done everything possible to contribute to a win. Make a statement!
A Grade: As Robe were preparing for a lt at the finals it was good to have a hard physical hit out against a determined Nangwarry especially for the players who were called up to the A Grade to replace Robe long injury list. Robe went into the match without a quarter of the team. However, the good news is that these players will be back for the finals although Robe did pick up another serious knee injury on the weekend. It was good to see Hamish Smith get his hands on the ball and gradually find some form and he combined well with Deane and Walker in the forward line. Coach Brown has s ll got some nkering to do with the manner in which Robe move the ball forward which will be a priority for training this week. Best for Robe where Lawrie, Walker, Deane, Dinning, Bryant and Sneath with solid contribu ons from Robertson, Pe t and Woodward.

A Grade: Nang 16 def by Robe 79. A strong game by everyone, great fight and determina on by each player. It was great to see everyone give 100% Halle ran at centre all day and came away with the Calcu a (Steve's Place). While Ellen had a great game at WD, ge ng hr hands to lots of balls and coming away with the incen ve (Eighth Le er Bungalow). Bring on finals.
A Reserve: Nang 19 def by Robe 103. What a great finish to the end of the season! The girls played a controlled and in front game, whilst s ll pu ng the pressure on down the court. The a acking end was strong, playing with confidence and Sarah coming away with the Calcu a (Caledonian Inn). The defensive end put in second efforts, pressure over the ball and worked on some of our goals from the last few weeks. Well done to Maisie for ge ng the incen ve (Union Café) and playing a solid game in a ack and defence! Looking forward to the finals in a couple of weeks me!
B Grade: Nang 10 def by Robe 87. Great team game, great feeling. Pressure was good across the whole court, and we made sure of our turnovers. Good to have another swap around. We finish the minor round second and now head into finals. Calcu a went to Mads (Eighth Le er Bungalow)! How was she in goals-bloody amazing. Incen ve to Pom (Eighth Le er Bungalow) who turned our heads with some classy intercepts. Enjoy the feeling.
B Reserve: Nang 18 def by Robe 55. The first quarter was an unse led quarter for the girls. The play was too fast and it all looked a bit messy. Luckily a er the first quarter the girls se led and the passages of play were smooth and precise. Defence worked relessly all game which resulted in many turn overs helping us to sustain a solid lead for the game. Calcu a went to Mahalia (Eighth Le er Bungalow) for 4 solid quarters in GK. Incen ve went to Olivia (Salubrious Hour) who played her best game yet by far. A 40 point win was just what we needed to finish off our season. Thanks to Nangwarry for a great game.
17 & Under: Nang 25 def by Robe 71. I think today’s game was the best game of netball I have seen the girls play this season as a team. They went in with all guns firing, countless turnovers some amazing shots and some great plays! Everyone has their eye on the ball, used their voice and had great leads. Best player this week went to Lexy (Union Café) for a great
game in defence and for a great job at blocking her players out. Incen ve went to Sienna (Union Café), who like always had a great game in goals and really had her eye in today!
15 & Under: Nang 43 def by Robe 49. The girls started strong, lead from the first goal and managed to finish the season with a welldeserved win! Defence was ght through the whole court with plenty of intercepts crea ng turnovers. Great work from the goalies using the ring to get in the right posi on for the goal. Best player went to Kaitley (Steve's Place) for her persistent back-up and intercepts and incen ve went to Olivia (Steve's Place) for her con nuous effort in defence. Well done girls you fought hard and deserved the win.
13 & Under: Nang 37 def Robe 19. Last game and the girls finished strong all playing hard for the ball. Unfortunately, we didn't get a win but the girls should be proud of their efforts. Scoring the highest number of goals we had all season it really showed the girls were figh ng for the win. Best player was awarded to Lacey Brooks (Steve's Place) for her phenomenal game in C ge ng lots of turnovers. Our goalies worked relessly with Makenzie earning herself incen ve (Steve's Place). Well done girls, good luck for next year
Junior 1: What a great end to a fantas c season. First quarter saw the girls playing a goal for goal game. A change of the opposi on players throughout the other quarters meant the girls had to work out how to pass the ball and get around some much taller players. Harper worked hard in defence the whole game which resulted in some great turn overs. Edie as always played a ripper game in GK and this resulted in her ge ng one of the awards for the game (SE Excava ons). Scarle also had a great game earning herself the other award (SE Excava ons). Kendall and Maddison tend to always end up playing against the tallest opposi on and they never let it get to them and work extra hard and never drop their heads. Today was by far the best game we have played, a great way to end our season.
Junior 2: A great team game - with 10 players, we had lots of changes, and everyone got to have a go in a posi on they wanted to try. I'm so proud of how you have all improved so much throughout the season. I hope to see you all out again next season. Incen ve went to Ava and Mia (Caledonian Inn).
With the minor rounds now finished we would like to say a huge thank you to all of our volunteers and coaches for your work this season. To run a club is a massive job but with many hands on board it spreads the load to make it easier

Junior 2: What a way to finish the season girls, I couldn't be prouder of the way you played! Last weeks game was evident that you have been listening to instruc ons at training! We were all coming forward and our passes were strong. Our a ackers were finding the space to receive passes, the goalies shot beau fully, Defence gained some intercepts and our mid court girls brought the ball down fluently. You all deserved best player this week. I am so proud of the progress you have all made this season each game you showed improvement! You're the juniors of our club, but you are all showing great poten al. Cannot wait to see what the future holds for you all! Best players went to Ellie, Gracie and Lexi!
13 & Under: What a beau ful day for our last game of netball. We come up against a very evenly matched team this week & it was good to see great compe on between all of the girls. We struggled to score so swapped it up at half me & put some girls into new posi ons & it worked really, really well. The girls we swapped into defence did an amazing job, excellent effort. Everyone has been so resilient this year & willing to have a crack at any posi on, you should all be very proud of yourselves! Awards went to Tamika & Emie - going from defence to a ack at half me & turning that scoreboard over, job well done. Our 3rd award went to Olivia for going from a ack to defence & just giving 100% every me she takes that court. Lets have a good summer break & look forward to another compe ve season next year! Go Tigers!
17 & Under: A tough ba le this week for the girls coming up against a top four side. We let them get ahead of us early which made it tricky to catch up but we worked hard all game and won so much ball. Defensively, Holly, Molly, Charli and Kaitlin worked well as a unit with Kailah slo ng in there as well. In a ack we grew as the game went on and Bella and Ebs worked really well together. Demi's ming onto the ball was perfect and it was great to watch. Poppy came on into the middle and slo ed in seamlessly. A big week at training this week girls, let's do this!
B Reserve: Last game of season girls was a tough and quite hot match! All played well and did your bit unfortunately didn't come away with the win! Awards: Heaven on Hanger: Chloe and Jade Congrats to A res for coming over
the line to secure a well-earned spot in the finals! Best of luck to under 17's, A Res, A grade netball and Senior Colts footy, you played hard all year for an earned spot in finals! Let's bring home the flag.
B Grade: A slow start for us girls on the weekend. A lot of unforced errors and poor decisions, showing we really do need to slow down and take control and work on our passes. Some changes at half me with Indi switching to a ack and Danni coming on in defence. A great second half with some nice play down the court and some lovely drives from Chloe, we were able to pull ahead and increase our lead. With great defensive pressure down the court from Sal and turnovers from defence, Ash and Indi were able to reward, working hard making sure their shots count. Best on went to Kristy with some great direc on of play down the court and second best went to Ash. Great to finish the season on a high girls and a big shout out to our coach Erin for all her dedica on over the season!
A Reserve: A great way to end the minor rounds with a win. It was a rough start to the game with a lot of unforced errors of our own doing. Some changes made at the 1/4 and had immediate impact on the game. Turnovers were coming from everywhere. We capitalised on these and put us ahead in the game. Another injury in the 3/4 gave us the opportunity to use junior Molly Cushion in goals. We got momentum and kept pushing ahead. While we were wai ng for results on other games to see if we made the finals we were confident we had it done. Congratula ons girls on finishing top 4! Best: Leah Ousey - Lima and Co, Lucy BarberChelsea Feast make up.
A Grade: Was pleasing to see Tayla (Limo award) and Casey taking the game on with several intercepts throughout the game. Kate and Kate were ght checking throughout, and con nue to provide op ons to team mates. Keryl's ability to play different posi ons and using her height for our advantage was pleasing. Emma (Chelsea Feast Makeup Ar st) provided a strong, controlled target and along with Jami who slo ng back into goals with ease, shot extremely well. It is exci ng for us to now move in the final series and put into ac on all that we have worked on during the season. Our main focus needs to be reducing our own errors so that we can maximise our possessions.
