Last week we looked at some of the success stories from Riddell District Football Netball League’s junior football competitions. This week we turn our attention to the girls on the netball court.
Rupertswood’s junior netballers had a season they won’t forget with the club winning four of the six Riddell District Netball League premierships on offer.
The Sharks won the under-11, under-15 Beatson and Turner, and under-17 premierships, while their under-13 Turner side finished runners up.
The under-11 team were the biggest winners on grand final day with the side beating Woodend 24-18.
Reese Sutton and Gabriella Smith were best on court for the Sharks.
The under-15 Beatson team capped off an unbeaten season with victory over Woodend in the grand final.
Isabella Galea and Madison Pane were best for the Sharks in the 19-17 grand final win.
In the under-15 Turner grand final was a thriller with the Sharks getting up by a goal, defeating Melton South 21-20.
Maiya Kennedy and Hannah Keane were the standouts for the Sharks.
In the under-17s, the Sharks had to come from behind to take out the premiership.
After trailing by four goals, the Sharks defeated Melton South 28-26.
Grace Kavanagh and Ailish McCormack were the best for the Sharks.
The under-13 Turner side lost their grand final to Melton South 23-14.
