A two-goal win for Warragul’s A grade netballers was the highlight of netball action at Traralgon on Saturday.

What a day the Gulls had at Traralgon. The girls worked well as a team to get away with a much needed win against a young and upcoming side.

Kate Emerson, Jamie Perry, Sienna Green and Alex Cole worked tirelessly in the attacking end, converting well throughout the day.
Awards: Renee Nobelius, Kate Emerson and Sienna Green.

It was a tough game for the youngest Gulls, but a lot of fun was had.
For the second half, coach Sienna Green let the girls help pick what positions they wanted to play.
The girls proved they have skills in all positions and two more goals went in - not scored due to the mercy rule.
There was still a lot to like about the game and plenty of laughs.
Awards: Liz Kuol, Evie Jones and Bella Senini.
