Douglas Junior Netball held its annual Carnival on Sunday at the Port Douglas Sports Complex. There were record numbers nominated this year in eight divisions with 109 games played throughout the day.  

The Carnival provided a fantastic day of junior netball ranging from Netta (8/Under) to 16 and Under competition, with teams as far afield as Innisfail and the Tablelands.

Douglas Juniors featured well with Douglas Young Guns winning, Dynamite and Diamonds coming second, and Jets just missing out on second by count back. Well done girls!
