U17s finish the home and away season in second spot
There were flashes of brilliance and plenty of fight.
A Grade
Not every game can be a masterpiece, and this one was certainly a little more than abstract art.
A scrappy contest from start to finish, with the A Grade side struggling to find their usual rhythm.
There were flashes of brilliance and plenty of fight, but unfortunately, they couldn’t string enough of it together to get the job done.
Not the best day at the office, but plenty to take away and build on.
The team will dust themselves off, regroup and get ready to hit back next season.
Score: Garfield 59 def PI 37.

The Phillip Island girls still tried hard and had fun doing it.
Rae Humphrey had another amazing day. She never disappoints gives 100 percent every game.

U13
What a ripper of a game from our Phillip Island U13s.
The ladies came out firing and never looked back, building on their lead quarter after quarter.
The whole-court defence was outstanding, applying pressure from the first whistle and keeping Garfield’s scoring opportunities to a minimum.
A fantastic team effort, full of determination, teamwork, and plenty of netball smarts.
With that performance in the books, it’s onto Finals next week.
Bring on Finals, ladies — you’ve earned it.
