Daylesford Football Netball Club junior netballers took to the court for the final time this year on Saturday. Heading across to Learmonth the girls were keen to end the season on a high.
The under 13’s started the day fabulously. Pulling together everything they had been working on this year to come away with a win. The girls showed off some very impressive skills, showing they will certainly be a strong force in years to come. Elizabeth Courtney played a strong game in defence as did Abbey Cooper in attack. Ally Pyers was unstoppable in goals, working hard to get the ball and encourage her teammates.
The under 15’s played a great team game, making some fantastic leads and working strong in defence. Laura Fishman played her best game for the season, taking some great intercepts, Kara Cooper and Kelsey Mobbs both worked hard in the centre court making fantastic leads and opening up play. Unfortunately Learmonth were too strong in the end.
All the girls should be congratulated on a fantastic season and we look forward to season 2010! All supporters are encouraged to attend our junior presentation night this Friday, 6pm at the club rooms.
Round 16 of the Central Highlands League was to be our last home game for the season. The Daylesford Junior Netballers welcomed Bungaree to Victoria Park and for the first time in weeks the sky was clear and the sun was shining.
The under 13’s, fighting for Daylesford’s first ever finals birth in the netball took to the court determined to play well, however Bungaree, with only one loss for the season showed why they will be a force this finals series. Jenny Bossinger fought hard in defence, whilst Lily-Rain Kilborne ran hard all game.
The under 15’s were looking for their 5th win of the season but Bungaree made sure the girls would have to wait till the final round to find it. All the girls were thrown into different positions and they all showed their netball knowledge and skill playing some great team netball. Kara Cooper played very well in defence, whilst once again Kelsey Mobbs ran hard for four great quarters of netball.
Both teams were beaten on the score-board, but not beaten in team spirit and look forward to taking on Learmonth in the last round for the season.
Round 15 of the Central Highlands saw the Daylesford junior netballers follow the wind turbines all the way to Waubra. Both teams were keen to repeat the results of Round Two and come away with the wins.
The Under 13¹s took to the court first and were very under sized, this proved to be the difference in the first quarter with Waubra pulling ahead by 5 goals. Vice Captain Lydia Edwards stepped up and played on an opponent significantly taller than her, Lydia showed height isn¹t everything an shut her opponent out of the game, Maddy Johns stepped up in the centre court and played tremendously. The girls put in a great team effort in the end to come home with a win 12 to 11.
The under 15¹s had a full team for the first time in weeks, this showed in their performance, the girls started strongly and never looked back. Maddie Nettleton, fresh from a holiday played a great game in goals sinking many long bombs, whilst Eve Vanzetta and Sophie Shewell combined well in defence. The girls went on to win 19 to 11. Both teams should be proud of the way they played.
Round 14 of the Central Highlands League saw Daylesford Junior Netballers play host to Bunnigyong. This would be the second time the teams would meet for the season and Daylesford were keen to show Bunningyong just how much they had improved.
In Round One of the season the Daylesford under 13 netballers beat a fast finishing Bunningyong by 8 goals, Daylesford girls were keen to repeat this outcome but with an even better margine. With a full team of 12, the girls were raring to go, Captain Kyah Waters lead from the front in attack, whilst Ally Pyers played a fantastic game in goals. It was a fantastic team game with every player contributing, the girls went on to win 12 to 3 playing a fantastic team game.
The under 15¹s girls had a much tougher battle on their hands with Bunniyong being one of the top teams. The girls played fantastically and worked hard as a team encouraging one another at every opportunity. Laura Fishman and Casey Newlan played a great game in defence. The girls went down but should be proud of the pressure the put Bunningyong under. Both teams look forward to playing Waubra this Saturday.
Daylesford junior netballers welcomed Hepburn to Victoria Park. This week the under 13’s played two games, which gave some of the younger girls a chance to play a full game and try some new positions.
The first game was played in fantastic spirit from both teams and supporters. Katie Balharrie played her best game of the season trying her hand in defence and thriving, whilst in only her second game this season Lily Kilborne played fantasticly.
The second under 13 game was a lot closer and with five minutes left their was only 2 goals in it. Izzy Vanzetta again showed her dominance, whilst Ally Pyers and Maddy Johns showed of some sneaky play.
The under 15 girls had a very tough battle on their hands, however, they played as a team and set individual goals that they achieved. Kelsey Mobbs moved into goals and played a fantastic game whilst Shyann Waters moved into centred and played very well.
Hepburn ran out winners in all games, however our girls should be proud of their efforts and improvements this season. Both teams should be commended on the way they played the game and thank you to all those who came to watch.
