Gippsland Storm Elite Development Netball Club had their second season finals just before the Christmas break to conclude the 2018 season on a high, with six of the seven teams making finals.
The Open team made it to the semi-final but came up against a tough opponent who didn’t give them an inch. The under 13 and all under 15 teams made it through to the Grand Finals which was an amazing effort in itself. The under 13 team battled hard and were only a couple of goals difference at every change but in the end they finished as runners up.
The 15 and under two and four teams, both claimed big scalps in their semi-finals but they played out of their comfort zone, couldn’t settle in the Grand Final, both finishing as runners up. The 15 and under one and two squads for Storm, both controlled their games from start to finish and came away as Grand Final winners.
Head coach, Simon O’Shanassy said all teams did the club proud in what was a record, with having so many teams from Storm making the finals at the Waverly Netball Centre, competing against some of the best junior tournament squads in Melbourne.
