Burdekin Netball Family Unites For Successful Burdekin Cup

Over the weekend of May 25-26, the Burdekin Cup once again emerged as a beacon of thrilling netball action, drawing in a record number of teams for an unforgettable two-day extravaganza organised by the Burdekin Netball Association.
The success of the Burdekin Cup owes much to the steadfast support of the Burdekin Netball family and the generous contributions from local businesses and community members. Their unwavering dedication ensured that this year's tournament exceeded all expectations.
At the heart of the event were the players whose skill, determination, and sportsmanship lit up the courts, captivating audiences and fellow competitors alike. From nail-biting matches to moments of camaraderie off the court, the true essence of Burdekin spirit was on full display throughout the carnival.

Acknowledgment also goes to the numerous coaches and managers whose guidance and leadership played a pivotal role in steering their teams towards success. Equally deserving of praise are the selfless parent and family volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the smooth running of the carnival. From the canteen to maintaining facilities, their efforts were instrumental in creating a seamless and enjoyable experience for all involved.
As the curtains draw on another remarkable edition of the Burdekin Cup, anticipation mounts for what the future holds. With talk of potentially expanding facilities or introducing new initiatives, hopes are high for an even bigger and better event in 2025.
Congratulations to Townsville City Netball Association for taking out the Burdekin Cup Aggregate.
