PLC Netball Club

We hope everybody enjoyed their holidays and are ready for Term 2. Saturday will see the re-commencement of the competition with all 11 teams hitting the courts.

Congratulations to Gabby Gorham on achieving her ‘National C’ umpiring accreditation. This accreditation allows Gabby to umpire any game at CDNA including the ‘A Grade’ women’s competition (which she has been doing under guidance as part of her training). This is a major milestone, made even more significant by the fact that Gabby is in Year 8. As a Club we have a focus on developing the leadership and decision-making skills within our player group via umpiring, coaching and Team Captain opportunities and it is with pride that we celebrate Gabby’s success.

Gabby and her sister Tayla (our Director of Umpiring) were both invited by Queensland Netball to umpire the Sunshine Coast Lightning practice sessions over the holidays, which was a major thrill for both girls. Again, we see PLC Netball represented at the highest levels of the game, bringing credit to Gabby and Tayla as individuals as well as the wider Pacific community. Well done to both girls.

Mr Trevor Colton, PLC Netball Club President
