The Limestone Coast Football Netball League started its inaugural representative season with a bang \u2013 coming home with three titles from the 2024 South Australian Country Netball Championships.<\/p>\n
Five teams headed to the Adelaide event, with the 17 & Under and 15 & Under (Championship) winning Division 1 titles and the 13 & under development team claiming the Division 3 title in a nail biting final that went into overtime before South Gambier\u2019s Harper Bowering nailed two mid range shots to put the Limestone Coast team in front when it counted most.<\/p>\n
Coached by Jackie Sunderland, the team went through the event undefeated but most of them were tough contests with narrow margins, and also including two draws in the minor round.<\/p>\n
West\u2019s Hannah Jackson and Claudia Vorwerk had strong tournaments, while the versatility of the 10 player squad allowed Sunderland to use the rolling substitutions to great effect.<\/p>\n
The 15 & Under A Championship team was coached by Donna Denton and after a sluggish start in the opening round, cruised through the championships with no more losses \u2013 taking on their first round conqueror Barossa, Light & Gawler in the grand final and turning the tables.<\/p>\n
Bell Coghlan, Emily Denton & Mischa Human led the way in what was an even 10 player squad and were it not for a late surge from Barossa, Light & Gawler in the title decider, the margin might have been a little more comfortable.<\/p>\n
The 17 & Under team, coached by Michelle Skeer, were basically the talk of the stadium as they steamrolled most opponents, including in the title decider.<\/p>\n
Edie Easterby was a standout in what was a star studded team as she dominated the defensive transverse line at either wing defence or goal defence taking countless interceptions and pressuring opposition teams into error.<\/p>\n
She was well supported by North Gambier\u2019s Stella Mobbs and Ava Collins, with the trio working well as a defensive unit, using their height and ability to read the play to great effect.<\/p>\n
The mid court saw Millicent\u2019s Piper Paul and Poppy Venn dominate the attacking wing; Maggie Collins dominated the centre and Mia Gysbers was reliable in transition.<\/p>\n
Macey Griffith controlled the shooting circle with her smart positioning, creative feeding and accurate finishing with Mylee Lynch and Gracie Dalton combining well with the star Tiger.<\/p>\n
The 13 & Under Championship team, coached by Larnka Foran, bowed out at quarter final stage to the eventual Division 1 champions, while the 15 & Under Development team, coached by Lillie Paul, battled hard against tough opposition.<\/p>\n
