INGLEWOOD INKLINGS
NETBALL
C Reserve: Playing for a place in the grand final, the whole team was pumped, especially with the good results of Vicky and Sarah winning and coming joint runner up in the league best and fairest respectively and Sally coming in fourth. We had enjoyed some swimming and tea on Tuesday night, then took on the young Wedderburn girls in a great hit out on Thursday night.
The game against Mitiamo began with a few nervous passes, but we soon settled in to our game and took the lead and never looked back. With steady passes in to the ring, the goalers were able to make good position and shoot well. The defenders worked hard to create turnovers and keep the pressure tight so Mitiamo had to really work the ball around. The positive talk did not stop at all and the support from the side line was fantastic. We fought it out right to the end never giving an inch to win 40-25. Wendy was awarded best player on the court.
We come up against YCW in the Grand Final and no doubt it will again be a tough game. They got the jump on us in the 2nd semi, so let’s be on the ball right from the start and turn the result around.
LEAGUE AWARDS
Well done to Logan Popple on being named the LVFNL Rising Star for 2015. In his first season for Inglewood, Logan added much needed pace on the wing and was a consistent performer throughout the year. Congratulations on a great achievement.
Congratulations to Vicky Tierney on winning the C Reserve LVFNL Best & Fairest. It has been a long time coming and despite you wanting to retire half way through the season, you proved that you still have what it takes. Well done to Sarah Garner-Humphries for coming joint runner up. You have had another strong season and this was proved with you receiving league votes in some of the B Grade games that you played during the year. And special mention to our super coach Sally Sheahan, who came in fourth. You have put in an amazing year and finally proven you are a goaler!

THANKS!
Firstly, thanks to all those who helped out at the 2nd Semi Final. It takes a big effort for the day to run as smoothly as it did, so thanks to everyone involved.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has played, coached, volunteered or supported the club this year. There are too many to name, but your contributions are very much appreciated! Thanks also to our Incentives Sponsors who were the Empire State Hotel, Tyson’ Reef Hotel, One Tree Hill Hotel, Central Victoria Removals, Hairem Scarem and Gary House. Apologies for anyone I might have missed.
Once again, good luck to the C Reserve Netballers today, and we will see you all again in 2016, to celebrate 140 Years of the Inglewood Football Netball Club.
