On Friday 28 June, the Burdekin Netball Association’s 13’s and 14’s teams, with the support of numerous officials and spectators, travelled to Brisbane to compete in the Junior State Age Championships.
The team began the jampacked weekend with some close losses on Saturday, however a draw against Palmerston in Game 3 provided the motivation the girls needed to raise their spirits for the days ahead. Sunday hosted tough competitions for day two, and saw the girls celebrate victory, coming out on top against Nambour.
Cool and overcast weather produced a slow start on Monday, which saw the girls power through, overcoming a hard start to day three to bag three strong wins, and a draw. With victories under their belts, the girls were ready to face the cold and rainy weather as they went up against leaderboard toppers, Downey Park. A hard game ending in a draw, the Burdekin Netball Association was extremely proud of how well the girls played. The girls put it on the court for the last few games and concluded the championship weekend with a win.
With dedication and determination at the forefront of their performance, the girls played hard from start to finish, playing a total of 19 games over the 4-day championship. The 2024 team additionally included a couple of 12-year-olds which both coach, Cailin Gosling, and Manageress, Kristen Linton slotted in nicely with the rest of the girls.
“We’re extremely proud of how hard this team worked and their commitment to their team on and off the court,” shared Cailin.
“I wish all players nothing but the best for their future netball endeavours.”
