Locals shine at Championships

Hampden Netball League were premiers in the under-13s and Goulburn Valley League were overall champions in the opens.

The Murray League’s open side finished sixth overall, with two wins and the under-13s finished eighth.

Despite both teams coming home without overall wins, Rams netball coordinator Meagan Rodda said it was a wonderful experience for all involved.

“The girls were competing against some really tough competition, against leagues that are much larger than ours,” Rodda said.

“It was a great opportunity for all the girls, but particularly for the juniors.

“Playing at this level forms a potential pathway for the younger girls especially, and a bigger chance of them being noticed by talent scouts.”
