Yarra Junction’s Ladies’ Day Netball competition took on a festive atmosphere on Saturday, 1 July, with Nova 100 Radio Station’s Casanova team on board to present a cheque for $1000.
The club’s A Grade captain, Amanda Finn, entered the netball club into the Local Champions competition run by Yarra Ranges Bendigo Community Banks in conjunction with Nova 100 Radio.
Club president, Tony Aulich, said the $1000 was a great shot in the arm for the netballers who work hard to fundraise for necessities such as uniforms and netballs.
“We have four teams and it was just a real thrill for everyone at the club to see Nova 100 and the Bendigo Community Banks getting together and making that presentation and putting a bit of a show on the day,” he said.
Mr Aulich said free coffee from the Nova barista, games, prizes and, of course the $1000 windfall, made it a real community event.
“We’re very grateful to the Bendigo Community Banks in Yarra Ranges for making that amount of money available to be won, and to “Our Finny” for entering the club in the competition.
