Another nice day at the nest with some more incredible milestones. Liam Barnard played his 250th game for the Burras (all games played in the firsts), earning him the honour of Life Membership at the club. Kelly Lewis also played her 150th game for the Burras.
The morning started off perfect with our 17 and Under netball taking home their first win in a few years. In a nail-biting finish, the team managed to secure a 1 goal win against Powelltown. Showing great
improvement from being defeated by 10 goals to the same team previous game, it is a credit to the team for how hard they worked till the finish. Our star netballers for the game were Tahlia Thornton, Amarli Weir and Emelia Robin. Tayah Humphrey shot 9 goals to her name, Tahlia Thornton with 5 and Lexi Cole with 1.
The Under 18’s boys produced another intense match against Kinglake but didn’t come out on top in the end. With both teams undefeated, we knew this game was going to be a tough one. But once
again, they didn’t stop until the final siren. This team has produced some good footy over the past few weeks and we are excited to see where this season takes them as a newly formed team. Jack
Freedman once again put on a show kicking 4 goals for the team. Tyson Henry, Danny Knight, Robbie Marshall, Blake Muir, Tarykn Nicolandos, aspen O’Neil and Daniel Wills secured 1. Top performers were Tyson Henry, Blake Muir, Dylan Walker, Liam Westlake, Danny Knight and Jack Freedman.
D Grade had a match against Powelltown this week. It’s fair to say, that our club knows how to have you on the edge of your seat. 1 goal was all it was in the end, but unfortunately, not to us. 22-23 was
the final score, with a lot of potential for the next time we meet. Cam Holland shot 14, Cam Partel with 5 and Emily Hay with 3. Our best players for this match were Nicole Cervasio, Amy Morris and Cam Holland.
C Grade continued their awesome win streak with a 7-46 win. Once again, this team never misses a beat and continues to show how well they work. Our goalers connected amazingly with Emily Hat shooting 17, Mel Hancock with 16 and Brooke de Pedro with 13. Ellie Stahl, Haley Toy and Melanie Hancock were our star netballers for this match.
Reserves Footy produced a great game with a final score of 54 to 46. Another team at our club that’s creating some exciting football and continuing their win streak positively. Damien Egan kicked 3 goals, Scott Muir with 2 and Jackson Blake and Josh Read both scoring 1. Ricky Andueza, Kyton Handy, Joshua Read, Brendan Macdonald, Ziggy Kneebone and Aspen O’Neill all produced a great game of footy.
51-20 was the final score for B Grade in a great win against Kinglake for Kelly Lewis’ 150th game. Emerson Woods managed to secure 31 goals for the game with Mel Hancock 11 and Shae Gee with
9. After a few intense matches, it’s great to see this team on track with some wins on the board. Katelin Borondy, Emerson Woods and Kelly Lewis were the top performers on the weekend.
The A Grade side remains undefeated as they secured a 70-15 win. This season hoping to be excited with the netball teams we have. The girls work hard and give everything they have, which is
rewarded by some great wins. Shae Gee had another great game scoring 35 goals, Kirralee also shot 29 and Bianca Daniels with 6. Selina Fotia produced another great game, as well did Kirralee Luiyf and Shae Gee.
Seniors gave a good fight against a strong Kinglake. Being close to the undefeated side all game, unfortunately, we let them slip away in the end with an 11.12-78 to 17.7-109 finish. The boys should be proud of the game they had despite the score. The improvement shown and the games they have played over the last few rounds is a credit to them and shows their hard work. For his 250th game, Liam Barnard put away 3 goals for the team, Trent Elliott and Tom Marr both secured 2 and Mitch Bonuda, Pat Huynh, James Iacono and Tim McKail all kicked 1. Lee Weir, Liam Barnard, Matthew Wright, Jack Lee, Harry Rothwell and James Iacono all had great games.
Next week will be Broadford/Yea at home.
