Young Guns win Regional Netball Carnival
Douglas Netball was represented by 7 teams last weekend in the Cairns Club Netball Carnival held at the Cairns Netball Association, Martyn Street, Cairns in a 2 day event.
The Young Guns and the Julatten Jewels played in senior division 3, the Under 16 Breakers played division 4, the Under 14 Jets played division 5 and the Under 11 Dolphins, Miallo Thunder and the Crocs played division 8.
The Young Guns won all 7 games with a couple of tight contests where they scraped in to win against some fierce competition, the team played well together displaying great defence with quick passing and great goal shooting. The Julatten Jewels just missed out on runner up recording 5 wins and 2 losses, the Jewels played determined netball against some tough opposition. The Breakers managed 1 win out of 6 games and had some fun in the last game by playing out of their normal positions, the Jets played fantastic, hard netball winning 4 out of 7 games, 2 losses were by a solitary goal.
The Under 11 Dolphins who were mostly only 9 and 10 years put in a great effort and gained some great experience although they did not win a game they enjoyed the weekend and came away wanting to play more netball. Miallo Thunder won 6 drew 1 and lost 2 games over the weekend the girls put in a dominant effort over the 2 days. The Crocs started the first day strongly losing just 1 game but by the end of the event they won 5 and lost 4, the girls played well and gained some great experience playing the other teams.
