MAITLAND DISTRICT NETBALL ASSOCIATION

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads) — Congratulations to the Maitland District Netball Association who recently hosted the NSW Netball State Senior titles over 3 days on the chilly June long weekend in Maitland. The event saw 2500 talented netballers, 500 committed officials, 300 dedicated umpires, 50 represented associations, 9 deserving life members, countless generous volunteers and one very proud Maitland community join together to enjoy the sport they all love. Congratulations to the local sides who did our town proud with the 15s side improving their performance each day of the weekend finishing 12th in the state. The 17s came home strong going through the final day undefeated, to finish in 8th place! And the Opens capped off a truly stellar performance in the Championship Division, ultimately only dropping three games all weekend to finish 3rd in the state! Congratulations go to the local committee, also to the local umpires and volunteers who worked tirelessly all weekend. Congratulations Maitland District Netball Association and Netball NSW on a fabulous event and thank you to the whole Maitland community who came out to support players from across the state over the weekend.
