The shooting skills of Zoe F were just awesome and this week Nicole R showed us some pretty cool shooting skills too. Well done girls.

The rest of the team showed their developing skills in defense, managing to get some really good intercepts.

Rachel B played a fantastic game at WA, showing a lot of skill in both attack and defense as she raced around the court.

Outram Red vs East Taieri 1

Once again, a game that tested our players, as East Taieri came out very determined and fought hard to keep the Reds from scoring. The Reds settled into their game after the first quarter and started scoring more baskets. Mitchell R did an amazing last minute shot for basket just before the bell went in the third quarter. Awesome! This Outram Red team are very tough and determined as they rarely let other teams score against them. Player of the day went to Georgia B for always being reliable and strong in shooting and defence. She showed wonderful support to her fellow players throughout the whole game and kept a cool head against a tough team. Score: 20/4 to Outram.

The Mighty Outram Hawks Netball Team

Outram Hawks Netball

The Hawks had another fantastic win this weekend against Elm Grove Fantails, winning 20 -2.

Playing for the first time on a beautiful clear morning, it was great to see the girls perform without freezing fingers and being soaking wet.

Nakesha was gaining lots of confidence as GA, managing to put in 3 great goals and Zoe F had another stunning game at GS, putting up the remaining 17 goals. Well done girls for such fantastic shooting.

Again Rachel and Courtney impressed with their super efforts all over the court, Courtney as WD and Rachel WA. Both girls showed heaps of determination to make sure the ball didn't get into the Fantails shooting area too often.

Player of the day went to Grace Mc from Middlemarch. She played a half game at centre with Nicole and both girls played a super game. Grace M also took over in the second half from Amber C who had to go off ill. Grace Mc played a super half at GD - having to defend a very tall Fantail . Well done Grace Mc for trying so hard throughout the whole game.

Another fantastic win to our Hawks. Well done girls you are super.

The last game for the Future Ferns level is to be played this Saturday with a prize giving following the 1040 game. This will be held in the hall immediately after the Hawks game. If games are cancelled this weekend due to rain, the last week will be the following weekend.

Outram Red vs. East Taieri 2

Phew! East Taieri came out firing with all guns blazing in the first quarter, and it took until the third quarter for the Reds to convincingly take the lead! Our shooting wasn’t a highlight, mostly as East Taieri was so tight on defence, effectively shutting our players out from putting up baskets. However, the Reds illustrated what calm heads can achieve – especially coupled with gritty determination not to lose! Once again, a great team effort. Player of the day went to Jacob B-H for hunting down ball after ball, creating turnovers for the Reds to score baskets with. Score: 12/8 to Outram.
