Just back from netball... The mighty Sparkles won 6-0 and our Kate scored the first 3 goals!! With her first shot in the game, it went straight in and by quarter time she has 2 and then in the 2nd quarter she bagged one more.
With 2 subs rotating, she sat out quarter 3 and then gave great service in the 4th quarter from Centre to allow 3 more goals to be scored.
Very impressive game from our Katie! Well Done!!!

Sparkles Draw - Kate Scores!
After last weekend's washout, the Blaxland Redbacks U/8's Sparkles took on Springwood who were a much better team than last games...
Kate was given the Goal Attack position and for the first time (due to Netball's odd rules) was allowed to shoot for goals... and in the 2nd minute of the game with her first shot, Kate popped it straight in - nothing but net!
Very proud we were!
She also worked very hard in defence and took many intercepts to set up her team with more shots and had a few more herself, but was unable to convert. Then at half time, it was her turn to have a half game and she sat out the rest of the match with the Redbacks leading 1-0.
The second half was a bit more even as the Springwood team started to get a number of shots and they had one little girl who came close with every shot and eventually she got the equaliser in the 4th quarter.
A great game, Kate got "Girl of the Match" from the coach and we now have a very excited budding netballer in the house!
Go Sparkles!

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.
