Well, it’s been a great season for the
girls and I couldn’t be more proud of all of them. We started off slowly in the grading games, but by the time
Christmas arrived, the girls were a well oiled machine and looking good. After Christmas we had lost our touch a
little and lost the first two games.
Then the fun began. We worked
harder at training and the girls got instant results, winning the next five on
the trot. We came up against the top
side in the second last game and just fell short losing 12—14. In the last game of the season we were 4th
and playing 3rd and could possibly finish 2nd with a win. The girls put in a fantastic effort winning
21—10. I don’t know at this moment if
we grabbed second, but no matter what, we’re in the finals.
To Jessica, Lauren, Kayla, Leah, Kara,
Sophie, Kelly and Danelle, I can only say good luck for the finals and I have
been very proud of all of you.

This season has been one of several highs
and lows as we battled to remain competitive each week, despite having held top
spot for a period of time. We took the
court for our last game of the season with only 5 players who acquitted
themselves well and came away with the win.
Unfortunately the results from the Knox—Tecoma game did not go our way
and we finished third.
Congratulations girls on reaching the
finals and achieving your first goal for the season. The second is a spot in the grand final and this challenge is
before us over the next two weeks Our
destiny to challenge for the third goal, which is to win the final, is in your
hands.

A
reminder that all players MUST bring
a
basketball to
training
sessions.
A NOTE TO PARENTS
Please
note that training sessions should not be used for the purpose of
child-minding. Children must not be
left early at training, nor should they be picked up late.
It
is of concern that some children are being left at training venues unattended
for some time.
We
therefore ask for parents cooperation for the safety of your children. Thankyou
