🖤💛 TOURNAMENT DAY 💛🖤

Today we took on a tough field at the Infinity Tournament, competing against some incredibly talented teams, many of whom have played together for years.

After facing five strong opponents, our girls secured an impressive 🥉 3rd place finish!

Jess and Niamh formed a fantastic defensive partnership, putting their bodies on the line and protecting the goal with determination. Their willingness to listen, learn and apply feedback before each game was evident throughout the day.

Through the mid-court, the girls worked tirelessly to win interceptions, create turnovers and transition the ball forward with confidence and purpose.

In the attacking third, Bea never stopped working, providing excellent feeds into the circle, supporting whichever GS took to the court, and battling hard for every rebound.

What made today special wasn’t just the result—it was seeing how far this team has come. Three months ago, some of these victories may have seemed out of reach. Today, they proved that growth happens through the challenges, and that success is built on resilience, hard work and belief.

Winners aren’t defined by never losing; they’re defined by what they learn along the way. Today was a huge step forward and a positive sign of exciting things to come. 🦅

Every single player played their part, and honestly, they all deserved Player of the Tournament today.

So proud of this team. 💛🖤 HawkstoneNetballClub

A positive indication of great things to come for these girls. 🦅✨
Well done to the tournament winners - the Cola girls!

Drying the bibs off after a rainy week, ready for the tournament tomorrow!!

We’re excited looking forward to getting some court time with our Yr 6 Crystals 💎❄️💍👩🏽‍🎤

📈 Progress isn’t always obvious week-to-week, but over time the results speak for themselves.

Over just 7 weeks, our athletes have improved their sprint times, increased throwing distances, developed endurance and built confidence in their abilities.

We’re incredibly proud of every athlete for their effort, attitude and commitment to training, and support for each other!!

Well done 👏🏽
