Sparkles Win Season Opener

A very quiet weekend with the only committment we had was Kate playing her first official game of Netball. The good news is that the mighty Sparkles from the Blaxland Redbacks won 3-0!

Kate played Wing Defence in the first half and then Wing Attack in the second. The girls really dominated and for four 15 minute quarters didnt allow the opposition to even get a shot on goal! Amazing considering all the girls had never played before and also hadnt trained in a couple of weeks due to holidays.

Kate was really in amongst it too. She had a good grasp of the rules, never strayed offside and in the second half when she got to attack, she was catching and passing perfectly and at one stage intercepted a ball that set up the third goal.

We were very proud!

Also, totally unexpected was the season opening ceremony in which Netball officials, State and Federal MP's and all the clubs did a march past... quite odd, but Kate was very excited.
