Hills Netball Grand Finals

There were some fantastic matches at Hills Netball last weekend in their Preliminary Final round.

We had teams in the 13/2s, 13/3s, 13/4s, 15/4s and Cadet’s 3 divisions competing for a spot in the Grand Finals, with four Loreto teams making it through to the big game last weekend! Congratulations to Team 7 (13/2) and  Team 8 (13/3)  who  won their Grand Final Matches.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank our HDNA committee for all the hard work they put in this season – their experience and input has been invaluable and their input and presence both during the week and on Saturdays has been a wonderful asset.

IGSSA Semi-Finals

We had a number of hockey and netball teams contesting semifinals for their IGSSA competitions over the  weekend across Sydney. Full results  are still coming through but congratulations to all teams for their efforts on Saturday.
