Under 15s Netball State Champions

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads)—The Under 15s Netball Maitland team, have been scoring points for Maitland, having been crowned State Division 2 Champions at the recent NSW Senior Netball Titles. Maitland also had success with the Open team finishing third in the Champions Division, alongside the Under 17s who only just missed out on a top 10 finish in Division 2. Over the King's Birthday long weekend the Maitland girls Under 15s team won the Division 2 title, finishing equal on 25 points with Barellan and District, with both sides claiming 12 wins and a draw. During the weekend Barellan beat Maitland 19-17 in the final game of the Sunday, but on Monday the Maitland girls won all four of the games, including a pivotal game against Bathurst. Their final day results consisted of wins against Macleay, Gosford, and Blue Mountains. The Maitland Open team who finished in third place, beat Illawarra, drew with Sutherland and had an upsetting loss to Penrith and an extra 3 wins over Lismore, Eastwood, and Ku-ring Gai. The Under 17s team finished 11th with seven wins and a draw. Congratulations to our netball girls.
