What a weekend of emotions !!!

Yesterday (Saturday) was the last day of Club Netball - Grand Final Day!!
With many superb wins and as many disappointing loses, the players gave and the spectators viewed some fantasic games of netball.

As Cripps Waratah Club Members our "congrats" are extended to the U/15 Div 2 and First Grade teams who both won their games.

A very special mention is extended to the talented players of the U/11 Cripps Waratah Team. A most heart wrenching decision at the end of their game where they simply out classed the AYC U/11 Team (30-8), denied them the Premiership win. Each member of this team has improved their knowledge of the game and their individual netball skills during the 2008 season and their undefeated record will not go unrecorded I'm sure. WELL DONE GIRLS - you should hold your heads up high due to your outstanding performance during the season.

Claire's Presentation Dinner (DJ Palena) was held last night at the Tattersalls Park in the Ophir Room. The Club recognises efforts from all their players during this evening, from TNL players through to their U/11 players. They also acknowlege past recipients of Life Memberships to the Club and also induct new members.

Claire received "The Most Promising Junior Talent Award". She accepted the award with a "thankyou" speech that acknowledged the 4 Coaches that helped her during the 2008 season (Jeff Andrews, Shane Fish, Tash Wylie & Janelle Smith) and also a sincere thankyou to the Club for accepting her this year. It takes great courage to speak in front of a group of large people and particularly on the spur of the moment when your holding a trophy in your hand (and all you want to do is "check it out"!!). The Senior Members of the Club approached me afterward saying how well she did and how proud they are of her. Of course, no-one could be prouder than me and Chels (who applauded the loudest) - WELL DONE FUZZ xx

Well it's Sunday and we're heading to C.A.N.A. training this morning. The girls will have their team photos taken today in full uniform. Chels is excited about that.
I will post some photos to this site as soon as I can for you all to see.

Don't forget to let me know what you think of our site, and of course if there's anything you think I can improve on - I welcome your COMMENTS !!!
