The North Eastern Netball Association’s 2024 Social Spring Mixed Netball Roster has wrapped up, with the Grand Final played on Friday, 22 November. Over 9 rounds, 9 teams have competed in the mixed netball roster, with teams entered varying from groups of high school friends, to family groups and every combination in between – and some fantastic team names. After 9 rounds, Monstars finished atop the ladder - undefeated during the roster, followed closely by the reigning 2023 premiers The Opposition. These two teams battled it out on Friday night for 2024 bragging rights for the best mixed netball side in the North East. In front of a small crowd, the Grand Final was played in humid conditions and brilliant sunshine. A good game of netball was displayed, with athleticism from both the males and females a feature. The Monstars led all game and even though The Opposition had an outstanding third quarter, the Monstars took out the shield by 9 goals (31 – 22). Thanks to Brogan Hayes and Lucy & Gabby Partridge for organising the mixed netball roster, a fundraising opportunity for the Association along with providing a fun, social activity during the ‘off season’.
