HASTINGS Valley Netball Association wrapped up another wet season Saturday, 6 September, with three Camden Haven teams contesting Grand Finals and vying for the title of Major Premiers.
Camden Haven Netball Club President Jo Dempsey said the Port Macquarie courts were a “sea of yellow and black” with local support.
The club’s youngest grand finalists, the Cadets 5a Mirror Bay Oysters, were first to play, taking the court against Wauchope.
“In a ‘tennis-like’ match, the tension was palpable and in extra time they unfortunately lost by one goal,” said Jo.
Next to take the courts was the Camden Haven club’s newest team, the Opens 4 Goodear Constructions, known locally as ‘The Mums’, who played Lake Cathie.
“Playing a team that they had not beaten all season, they muscled up and proved, in a tight tussle, that mums can do it all, coming away with the title holder of minor and major premiers for the season,” Jo said.
The Opens 3 Maher Legal side were the club’s last representatives of the day.
“Right from the blow of the whistle our ladies knew this was going to be an epic game,” Jo said.
“Unfortunately, they lost to a worthy opponent, but they played with all class and made our club proud.”
