The netballers had a great season this year finishing 4^th in the B grade competition and 5^th in the C grade competition. B grade bowed out in the first round of finals in a great effort against tough competition the Wandin Bulldogs. In winds and torrential rain the girls lost the first half to come back and win the second but it was not enough to surpass their opponents.

The C grade met Mt Evelyn in the first round of finals defeating the “mounters” by 8 goals but came up against a very determined Upwey side in the second round going down by 7 goals in very windy conditions. All the games were played at Gembrook which gave the club the opportunity to showcase what great facilities we have.

The club would also like to announce that Senior Coach Charlotte Moore will be again senior coach in 2010. Charlotte has done a magnificent job with the girls this season. An excellent leader on and off the court Charlotte has been instrumental in the teams finals appearances for the first time since the competition began 5 years ago. The club congratulates and thanks Charlotte for her efforts this season and we look forward to 2010.

Thanks must also go to our Season umpire Trent Morrison. Trent brings professionalism to the local sport through his umpiring. We received only positive comments from our opposition clubs all season. He even assisted our preparation through finals which was fantastic. We look forward to seeing Trent back again next season.

The Brookers are still continuing with the sport during the Summer, a team will be competing over at the YMCA in Pakenham on a Monday night and mixed teams will be playing in the Sherbrooke Netball Association at Belgrave Sth on a Saturday afternoon. If anyone out there wishes to play in either team please contact Sarah Aitken on 0407 873 380.

Pre-season will begin for the netballers at the end of the school holidays next year. Stay tuned for a start date.
