Netball end of season prize giving 2011

Last night was the end of season prize giving for Samoa Netball.  This year Hyundai club did very well with the womens U21, A Reserve and A Teams all taking prizes.  During the season the A team held the shield for 4 weeks and then played some tough games to come 3rd in the grade.  This was an excellent achievement and a much improved performance on previous years.  Congratulations to the SCOPA club for coming 1st in the A Grade and to Faleula a new club for taking out 2nd place by beating Hyundai in our final game of the season by only 1 goal!!  Nail biting stuff.

USP struggled this year however this did not dampen spirits with the boys and girls teams showing up each week keen to take the court and play the game.  I am proud to say the USP boys showed great commitment this year and developed their skills during the season having some close matches and taking out the prize for Sportsmanship and Best Development so congrats to them for winning 2 new balls, a ball bag and some cones to assist with our training.  Girls found the A Reserve grade they moved up into challenging.

Many thanks as well to SNA for my prize for top umpire which I greatly appreciate.  Here some of the A grade team are pictured with Ray and Tate who also received umpiring prizes for passing their Centre Badges.  Well done on a great season everyone!!
