Round 2 Netball Report Jets v Temora Under 11’s Teal This week Northern Jets under 11’s teal played against Temora at Ariah Park on Friday night. While three girls played their debut games this week, the group is starting to work well together. It was great to see the girls who were rostered off this week on the sideline cheering the team on. We saw promise for the future in the second quarter when good defence and attack from the front saw the Jets out score Temora for the quarter. This week Elsie Furphy won the Delta towel award, Olivia Mills won the Ariah Park Bowling Club $10 award and Jennifer Webb won the Beckon Hotel $5 canteen award. All the girls are improving each week. The final score was Temora 13 Jets 5. Under 11’s White 'This week the girls played Temora at Ariah Park on Friday night. The Under 11’s had a fabulous game to beat Temora 16-5. All the girls played very well, each contributing something special to the game. They moved the ball well down the court, played with determination and gelled as a team. The defenders did extremely well against tall opposition. The Hotel $5 Canteen Award went to Gabrielle Fairman, The Delta Towel went to Alice Doyle and the $10 Bowling Club Award went to Jo Bray.' Under 13’s Not knowing what to expect, the girls went out hard in the first quarter, and to their delight, secured 17 goals to 0 and continued to dominate throughout the game, increasing the margin comfortably each quarter. It was a great team effort by all of the girls, and a good opportunity for some of them to try new positions out of their comfort zone. The Jets ended up winning 55-1, and with two convincing wins now, will have to stay focused and prepare themselves for some tough games ahead. Our award winners for this week were, Best On Court Bowling Club Award went to Izzy Gaynor, who played out of her usual position, but proved that you can make an impact anywhere on the court if you try your hardest. The Beckon Hotel Canteen Award went to our little pocket rocket Maddy Cassidy, who really found her place on the court in WA, and piled up the possession tally. Well done Maddy, was so good to see you shine. The Delta Towel Award went to another pocket rocket, Bella Fairman, who shot goals beautifully, and with confidence, which showed on the scoreboard. After a big day with school netball trials, both Brooke Denyer and Bella Fairman continued to play so well, and show just why they were selected in the PSSA team to now trial at for hopefully a spot in the Riverina netball side. Under 15’s The Under 15 Northern Jets netballers enjoyed a rare game under lights when we welcomed near neighbours, Temora, to Ariah Park on Friday night. The entire game was played in the right spirit and good sportsmanship was displayed by all members of both teams. It was a very tight, even contest with only one goal separating the teams at three quarter time, Temora put on a strong finish in the last quarter and the Jets girls went down 23-30. Abbey Doyle had a great game with accurate shooting and strong rebounding to take out the $10 Ariah Park Bowling Club Award. Lily Walker showed her versatility playing both ends of the court switching between Goal Attack and Goal Defence to win the $5 Beckom Hotel Canteen Award. Olivia Harper played her usual consistent game causing lots of turnovers through the centre court to take home the Delta Towel Award.

Round 3 Netball report - Jets v Under 11’s Teal Jets Teal under 11’s played two games this Saturday against Ganmain Under 11’s Cubs and then Lions. In the first game against the Cubs, Teal were well matched in size and age, while in the second game the Ganmain Lions had a height advantage. In both games the girls continued to show improvement – this was especially evident in the second game where they had to work very hard to stay in the game against the taller, more skilled Lions. The second game was a real challenge for the girls and it was fabulous to see them doing everything that was asked of them. The focus and continued run the girls showed in both games was great to watch! In the first game Josie Heath moved well around the court, getting front position and scoring 3 goals, she was awarded the Delta Towel Award. Sophie Dart played a great game at centre and goal defence getting out in front and moving quickly into position, she was award the $10 Bowling Club Award. Bronte Ingram ran well on the wing to get out in front and won the $5 Beckom Hotel Canteen Award. The final score was Cubs 12 Jets Teal 3. Against the Lions Maya Prentice did a great job at goalkeeper and in defence winning the Delta Towel Award. Isobel Herden worked hard in defence on the wing and in the goal winning the $5 Beckom Hotel Canteen Award. Lucy Edis continued to run as centre and goal attack winning the $10 Bowling Club Award. The final score was Lions 37 Jets Teal 1. Under 11’s White Under 11's played two games on Saturday, against the two Ganmain Under 11’s sides. We played Ganmain Blue Lions girls first and were defeated 5-31. The Girls ran well, working hard for four quarters and played their best against a well drilled Ganmain side. In the second game we played the Ganmain Cubs side, beating them 13 – 2. The Best on Court for the Ariah Park Bowling Club Award (first game) was given to Tully Gaynor who played a great defensive game and in the second game, Bethany Webb, received this award also for her defensive game. The Beckom Hotel $5 Canteen Award went to Alice Doyle, another consistent effort in defence and Sophie Maxwell, playing well at both ends of the court, respectively. Gabrielle Fairman received the Delta Towel Award for a consistent game and Kate O’Dwyer in the second game. Under 13's The Under 13's girls made a strong start to their third round match against Ganmain. The girls demonstrated great teamwork, confidently moving the ball down to the goal circle where shooters Mae Lucas and Paige Brown put away 9 goals for the first quarter. This set the tone for the remainder of the game, with good consistent court play and accurate shooting throughout the match. The girls are to be congratulated this week on their encouragement and support of all team members. The award winners this week were Paige Brown ($10 Bowling Club Award), Mae Lucas ($5 Canteen Award) and Hayley Writer (Landmark Towel Award). Under 15’s Unsure of what to expect from a usually strong Ganmain team, the Under 15’s took the court full of positivity and enthusiasm. The first quarter was fast-paced with both sides going goal for goal until the Jets were able to hold a two-goal lead at the end of the quarter. The Under 15’ continued their dominance over a tiring Ganmain side and extended their lead at half time to 19–11. A lull in the third quarter saw scoring opportunities limited as Ganmain capitalised on a change to their defence, which placed more pressure on our attacking players. The Jets defenders maintained their intensity and also kept Ganmain’s opportunities to a minimum and conceded only 4 goals in the third quarter and holding a strong lead of 25-15. With the warmer weather now affecting both teams, the Jets were able to hold strong in both attack and defence in the last quarter and gave a stellar performance, which was their best quarter of the game. They were able to capitalise on every attacking play while holding Ganmain to an almost goal-less quarter until they scored in the dying seconds of the game. All players gave 100% effort to the game and maintained their composure and positivity in the face of an unrelenting Ganmain defence. Each team member made outstanding contributions in their game and the final score was 37–16. Georgie Quade was the player’s player and won the Ariah Park Bowling Club Award for her exceptional defence in GK, Lily Walker won the coveted Delta Towel Award for her grace under pressure in GA and Abbey Doyle won the Beckom Hotel Award for her fabulous shooting in GS – only missing one shot for the game. Thanks must also go to Amanda Prentice for umpiring the game.
