A wonderful comeback from the Open Girl’s Netball Team today with one loss and then a great win in their second draw. The first game’s whistle saw a loss of 44-29 against a skilled Mitcham Girls High School team and the second game, was a convincing win of 34-28 against Woodville High. Caitlin Hopkinson, Akoi Garang and Evaline Yugg combined brilliantly in defence. In the centre court Chloe Datson played C for 80 minutes back to back, with an injured, but fierce Maddison Mortimer and Mya Storm supporting stunningly in rotating WA and WD positions. Charli Etherton and Sienna Ta outscored Mitcham in the third quarter of the first game, doubling their score, but this momentum was tricky to maintain against a stronger and taller cohort. 

Whilst we will not go through to the next round, we are looking forward to the Intercol competition against St Columba. My thanks to Erin Vanyai for team managing and Akoi Garang who, although was a late call-up, was superb in GK.

Best Players: Evaline Yugg and Chloe Datson.
