PLC Netball Club

Week one of the finals is over. PLC had three teams take the court for what was our most successful finals outing in recent years. All three games were of a very high standard with the players from both sides displaying courage, determination and spirit that we can all be proud of!

The day commenced with the PLC Arabians, our Division 2 team, playing the Golden Beach Thunder, a team which they had drawn with on two occasions throughout the season. The game was an arm wrestle for the first two quarters with the Arabians establishing a lead in the third quarter to go on and win 34 to 30. The Arabians now advance to play the Pacific Swoopers at 8.00am this Saturday on Court 2.

Next to play were the PLC Fillies, our Division 7 team, who faced the Moffat Beach Firefish, a team they had not beaten during the season. Again, it was a close match with only two to three points between the teams all game. In the end, the PLC Fillies prevailed 28 to 25 to advance directly to the grand final on 14^th September.

Finally, our PLC Palominos took the court against the Pacific Kestrels. Again, is was a tight and hard-fought battle with both teams having opportunities. In the end, it was the Kestrels who prevailed 27 to 24. Despite their loss, the girls should be very proud of their efforts during the season and on the Saturday.

The only game this weekend is the PLC Arabians who are playing at 8.00am on Court 2. If you have time, come down and support the girls in their bid to reach the grand final.

A reminder that the Club Presentation Night will be held on 15^th September at Laserzone, commencing at 5.30pm.
