A Big Weekend Of Netball In Forbes

August 14, 2025 by Roxane Manley

Susan Pettitt former Australian Diamond at last year’s Forbes Netsetgo and junior mixed gala day.

The Forbes netball community will have a busy weekend ahead, when they will host the Club Forbes NetSetGo and Junior Gala Day on Sunday.

The weekend will start on Saturday when the boys and girls who have been playing Woolworths NetSetGo every Saturday will have their end of season presentations.

NetSetGo is played every Saturday morn­ing at 9:30am to 10:30am, allowing boys and girls from 5 years to 10 years enjoy the fun and skills of learning to play netball.

The Woolworths NetSetGo Forbes sessions have been growing in numbers every year.

The Junior Gala Day will be a celebration of grassroots junior netballers from ages 7 years to 12 years.

Approximately two hundred boys and girls will start the day with the skills warm up, coached by former Australian Diamond Susan Pettitt. Susan is now a regular for Forbes netball, and she brings her fun skills to start the day.

The day has been fully funded by Club Forbes, which allows all Forbes boys and girls to enjoy the day with no costs involved.

Forbes will have around 100 junior players taking to the courts, other teams will also be travelling from Young, Dubbo, Condobolin, Narromine, Ungarie, Orange Waratahs and Orange Life Studios.

No representative teams are able to enter the day, making it a full celebration of jun­ior netball. The Forbes Netball Association is the only association in the West/Central West region to run such a day.

The program for the day will be 9am to 10am Susan Pettitt’s skills warm up then at 10:30am the round robin of games will start and continue throughout the day.
