Parkin Rules for Banks Sri Lanka Eke out Draw WEDNESDAY JUNE 18 2014 SPORT 49 Vixens are bracing Storm’s red-letter day for plucky Firebirds with netting of Gray By MELISSA WOODS THE Melbourne Vixens are preparing for an hour of pain to match the physicality of the Queensland Firebirds in Sun- day’s ANZ Championship net- ball Grand Final. The Firebirds booked their place in the decider at Mel- bourne’s Hisense Arena with a rugged 54-50 win over New Zealand’s Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic. The minor premier Vixens say they will have to be at their defensive best against the Fire- birds, who showed they were prepared to spill some blood to get the win with goal defence Clare McMeniman a casualty against the Magic. “It’s going to be a slog, no two ways about it,” said vet- eran Australian goaler Cather- ine Cox, who is retiring after the match. “They are a very physical side and they’re not about to give up at any stage so it’s 60 minutes of solid work. “No doubt people will be sore and extremely tired at the end of the game but if we win it I don’t think anyone’s going to mind.” The two teams know each other backwards, having played three times this season.

    SCHOOL SPORT AUSTRALIA 12 & U and 15 & U NETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS HISTORY The championships had their origins in the Australian State Schools' Basketball Association developed originally for primary schools and played predominately on grass. Interstate carnivals commenced in 1923 and continued in 1924 when a number of exchanges between individual states occurred. In 1924 visiting teachers from Victoria, Queensland and South Australia to New South Wales made exhaustive inquiries into the question of girls’ games with the view to inaugurating interstate contests. In 1925 South Australia hosted New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland in both a junior and senior competition, one of the games attracted over 2000 spectators. South Australia was victorious in the junior section and South Australia and Victoria both finished in first place in the senior. This competition continued in 1926 in New South Wales and 1927 in Victoria. With the introduction of a perpetual trophy the first officially recognised Australian State Schoolgirls Basketball (Netball) Championship was played at the Practising School, Brisbane in 1928. The final, on the afternoon of the August 22nd, was before a large crowd. Victoria convincingly beat NSW 23 goals to 4 goals. Mr John Donald Howie donated the perpetual trophy following the win of Victoria. Mr Howie was a Victorian Councillor from 1922 – 1932 and Mayor of Camberwell in 1927 and 1928. Australian schoolgirls tournaments were organised to combine both a netball competition and an educational tour, When girls weren’t playing they attended lessons at the local school or made educational day trips. In Brisbane the girls visited Toowoomba, the Olympic Tyre and Rubber Works in Geebung and took a trip to the South Coast of Queensland.
