WON 41-71
Another week with more of our team jet-setting away to Europe! Our B Grade legends once again stepped up to help us out on a wet and windy day. We thank them for their support again this week to get us over the line! Han was excellent in centre, providing lots of drive in attack and defensive pressure, resulting in multiple turnovers! Cait Brooks also showcased her skills in WD before coming into the goals to hit the scoreboard for us. It was a great team game to continue to increase our lead. We can’t wait to slowly welcome back our holiday teammates before coming into finals!

B Grade
WON 6-108
An epic, epic win from our B Graders today, shooting a massive amount of goals and limiting our opponents scoring opportunities. No awards given today. We look forward to the bye week for a rest and then push hard for the remainder of the season. Go Doggies!!
C Grade
WON 3-100
Another great win today from our C Grade girls, the focus going into today’s game was to try to gain some percentage by aiming to score 100 goals. Katelyn, Elle and Amy D’s accuracy in the ring allowed them to do just that! Very intense last 5 minutes of the game knowing there were still 10 more goals to score. This saw our defence and mid-court’s determination working hard to get the ball into the ring to the shooters, with 30 seconds left on the clock our 100th goal was scored before the final whistle! Massive effort from the whole team in achieving what we set out to do today.

Under 17’s
WON 16-49
Absolute ripper game from our 17’s netballers today! Very proud of the way they conducted themselves on the court throughout the game. With a few girls away, we were well-supported by a couple of 15's superstars, thanks Lilly and Brylie! Amy Wyatt played a fantastic game in defence, pulling in some unreal rebounds and intercepts. Alina Corso was a powerhouse through the centre court today, her leadership and communication on the court was awesome. Dakota Kelly, worked solidly all day in the defensive end. Well done girls, a great team win!

Under 15’s
WON 19-42
After a few rough weeks, the girls trained hard to gear up for today's game. We went out focusing on the little set-ups we’ve been working on, and we’re able on the front foot and keep the lead. With the wet conditions, the girls did well to build on their game, the attackers worked hard, capitalising on the defenders' hard work. Mid's held strong and backed each other all day. No game is guaranteed so let’s make sure we work hard to finish off the season on a high.

Under 13’s
WON 12-21
Coming into the game, the girls were off to a rocky start. They were quite sloppy, throwing away some easy plays, and getting very erratic after a turnover, keeping the score close. After half time the girls steadied and got their heads in the game. They controlled their passes and brought the ball down smoothly, thinking before passing off the ball.
Tamika had an outstanding game, keeping level-headed all game, controlling the ball and putting defensive pressure all down the court.
Makena played a full game in goals, moving and feeding beautifully around the ring, she had a great voice and showed great leadership. Lara had amazing defensive skills in the ring, crowding her opponents space, forcing the errors of the opposing team. Although the girls had a rocky start, it was good coming away with a 9 goal win, moving them up into the top 8.

Another great game by our littlest superstars today. Things are really clicking and we’re bringing the ball down the court beautifully, linking well from defence to attack. Eliza is an absolute go-er out on court, she doesn’t stop running, and she found great feeding position on the ring today in both WA and C. Mackenzie is our all-rounder, playing in defence, mid-court and goals today and nailing all 3 positions. Phoebe spent the middle two quarters in GA where she shone, shooting beautifully and rebounding well. Mia finds great position when in defence so she went out with a goal today - two-handed pull ins rather than deflections, and she definitely improved on this throughout the game. After some very cold and early starts, we look forward to a rest with the general bye this weekend.

Seniors
WON 1.0 6–34.14 218
A big win by the boys today, the main focus was to not let any bad habits creep into our game. It was a dominant display from Loobs, kicking 20 goals in just over 3 quarters. Jai Stephens and Clayton Beer made their senior debut, as we had 4 sets of brothers in the one team.
We did what we had to do and came away with a big win.
We look forward to a well-deserved week off before we build some momentum going into the pointy end of the season.

T. Looby 20, A. Crestani, Z. Betson and J. Beer 2.

Fourths
The fourths got a sleep in on Saturday morning as we travelled to neighbouring rival Yarroweyah. It was cold and wet but our Bullpups did not disappoint, dominating the play and playing another great team game. RJ was a stand out all over the ground and our young kids rallied around him to get a comfortable win on the board.

Today it was nice to have a later start at Yarroweyah, and I'm sure everyone enjoyed a sleep in. All our players played so well today. With the two teams having so many numbers it made it congested at times but our Lil pups got to work early and shared the ball around which opened up the play. There were some excellent passages of play today, with our team really jelling together.
We are getting better each and every week, and you can see on our kids faces they are enjoying themselves which is our main focus. Well done to everyone. Go DOGGIES!!
