Netball
DONNYBROOK A Reserves team gave a gutsy and top quality performance on Friday night’s Grand Final South West Netball/Football League (SWNFL) versing Harvey.
Despite an eight goal loss to Harvey, Donnybrook players gave it all; with the consistent attacking and defensive rolls in the game, players showcased maximum performance and an outstanding team effort.
They came from behind at one point and took the lead but unfortunately Harvey got the run in the last quarter and Donnybrook couldn't hold them.
There is no other team that came this close to beating Harvey's full side this year. To Harvey's credit, they played well and challenged Donnybrook for four full quarters.
It was a great spectator’s game, exactly what you want in a Grand Final. It could have gone either way. The loss has been accepted, but it doesn't feel like Donnybrook was beaten; Donnybrook played a "polished" game and it was a complete team performance not only in the Grand Final but throughout the season
Well done to A Reserve coaches Luisa Dale, Peter Worsfold, Sue Trigwell (Team Manager) and players, Emma Dale (Captain), Ebony Trigwell (Vice Captain), Jess Tassone, Sarah Tassone, Lisa Worsfold, Rae Stewart, Kyarna Trigwell, Cassie Glover, Anne Hayes, Courtney Babich and Chelsea Atherton.
Final Score: Harvey 55 defeated Donnybrook 47.
These amazing Donnybrook 17’s and A Reserves players, coaches and managers are a tribute to Donnybrook, who represented themselves, the community and Donnybrook Netball Association in an honourable and admirable sportsmanship manner.
To be part of a team is a privilege and is teamed with a lot of hard work from players, coaches, team managers, committee members, parents and supporters alike. The wonderful opportunity and experience from the support of teammates and friends in a netball environment is an invaluable opportunity that these players have successfully experienced.
A credit to you all for your positive support, camaraderie, respect and fun had along the way for the Donnybrook 17’s and A Reserves 2015 season.
