Finals approach for netballers
WITH five of its six netball sides set to play finals in the Mininera League competition, Woorndoo Mortlake is looking forward to a busy finals series on the courts.
With the home and away season completed last Saturday, the 2024 finals will kick off this weekend with the qualifying round at Caramut on Saturday and the elimination finals to be played at Lake Bolac on Sunday.
Despite a last round win over Moyston Willaura, the Tigers’ young 13 and under side finished just outside the top five by percentage, with Glenthompson Dunkeld’s win over Tatyoon enough for them to take fifth spot.
The Tigers’ 18 and under netballers continued their good form from season 2023 to finish on top of their ladder, while the 15 and unders also hold top spot.
In the senior competitions, both the A and B grade sides finished the home and away rounds in third place, while in C grade the Tigers finished fifth.
Results from last weekend’s round 16 against Moyston Willaura were as follows:
A grade – Woorndoo Mortlake def Moyston Willaura 52-19. Best players for the Tigers: Sadie Lienert and Brooke Richardson.
B grade – Woorndoo Mortlake defeated Moyston Willaura 47-28. Best: Tasha Killen and Brooke Eldridge.
