June 27, 2019 by Maggi Barnard

The Forbes Netball Association recently held the finals of the Autumn Night competitions for mixed and ladies teams.

MIXED FINAL
The Mixed final was won by NSG to Postie, who defeated Minor Premiers Aggies by 29-17. The players were very enthusiastic, and both teams played with lots of energy and passion, and the score line did not reflect the physicality of the game. NSG to Postie won the first quarter by 7-4, and continued to draw slightly ahead in the second quarter, with the half time score being 14-9.

Postie’s Isaac Stewart showed excellent ball skills and Sam Smith also helped to lead the way for his team. NSG to Postie’s shooter Jordon Gaffney had an accurate shooting game helping the team secure the lead. The third quarter was dominated by NSG to Postie, winning the goal count by 7-2.

Aggies centre Daniel Ashcroft dominated for his team, and Georgie Price and Chelsea Madden never gave up trying as they fought back in the final quarter, with the goal count 8-6 to Postie.

LADIES FINAL
The Ladies final was a powerful display of netball from Hughes & Co, who won the game against Minor Premiers Forbes Engineering 37-18. Hughes & Co took control of the game from the first whistle, winning the first quarter by 12-6. Forbes Engineering fought back in the second quarter to nearly equal the goal count. As circle defender Nicole Mee dominated the defence end for Hughes & Co, with Kate Loneragan shut down the Forbes Engineering attack. Hughes & Co again dominated the third quarter, with shooter Shannon Hurley, helped by Stephanie Hughes, made the goal count for the quarter 10-3 to Hughes & Co.

Forbes Engineering shooter Brianna Duncan was accurate throughout the game, and keeper Sophie Robinson held a strong defence. Forbes Engineering never gave up.

The Forbes representatives played at the Camden Netball Association courts on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, in the U17 division.

The team has been training together for four months, coming together every week in Forbes, and also attending all the regional training carnivals for vital match practice.

The team received many compliments from the umpires who were officiating their games. The girls were often congratulated for their sportsmanship, and fair play, and their high standard, and skill level.

The team played six games each day, over the three days of competition.

Day one saw the Forbes girls easily defeating Goulburn, Narrabri, Glen Innes, Cessnock and a tight game against Narrandera winning by three goals, with a loss to West Wyalong.

Day two also saw good wins against Ulladulla, Scone and an exciting come back to draw against Kurri Kurri after being down by six goals at the half time break.

Day three supporters again saw exciting netball played by the Forbes team, with four wins, and finishing the championships strongly by defeating Scone by a goal and then Kurri Kurri by seven goals.

The Forbes community should be very proud of the netballers who represented our town, who all displayed outstanding sportsmanship, team work and also played at a high level of skilled netball.
