ππ€ SEMI FINAL RECAP | SO PROUD OF OUR EMERALDS π€π
What a day of netball, and what a season it has been for our Emeralds! π
π OPALS
While their season came to an end, our Opals saved one of their very best performances for last.
The sportsmanship, skill, determination and the way they backed each other from the first whistle to the last was everything we could ask for.
The improvement in this team across the season has been incredible, and they should walk away so proud of what they have achieved. We certainly are! π
π SAPPHIRES
Our Sapphires were also eliminated, but what a performance to finish their season!
Their teamwork, skill and determination were on full display, and this game really showed just how far they have come throughout the year.
They fought hard, backed each other and left absolutely everything out on court. The improvement across this group has been huge, and there is so much to be proud of. ππ€
π₯ JEWELS β WEβRE NOT DONE YET! π₯
WHAT. A. GAME.
A tough opponent, a hard-fought contest and some seriously intense heat β but our Jewels dug deep, kept fighting and got the win! πͺπ
What an incredible bunch of ladies and what a season they are having! The fight, teamwork, determination and support they show for one another every time they take the court is something pretty special. So proud of this group and everything they have achieved so far. π
π A little something from meβ¦
Iβll admit, Iβm a little teary writing this.
When I think about where Emeralds started and everything we have achieved in just our first year, it really is pretty incredible.
I couldnβt be prouder of our entire Emeralds club β and I know so many across our Emeralds community feel exactly the same.
Not just the teams who took the court in finals, but every single person who has been part of this journey.
From our littlest NetSetters through to our juniors and seniors. Our coaches and umpires. Our committee and volunteers. Our parents, families, sponsors and supporters. Every single one of you has played a part in making Emeralds what it is.
There have been so many improvements, achievements and special moments this year, but what makes me proudest is the club and community we have created together.
The friendships. The support. The sportsmanship. The resilience. The laughs. The people who put their hands up to help. The way our teams support each other and the way everyone has embraced what Emeralds is all about. ππ€
To think this is our inaugural season and we have already come this far is something really special.
And the best part?
This is only the beginning. ππ
There is so much more ahead for Emeralds, and I genuinely cannot wait to see where we go from here.
But our first season isnβt over just yetβ¦
π£ NEXT SATURDAY, WE NEED OUR EMERALDS COMMUNITY AT THE COURTS!
Our Jewels are playing for a spot in the GRAND FINAL, and we want our Emeralds family there behind them!
Players, families, friends and supporters β grab your green and letβs fill those sidelines! ππ€
Letβs make sure our Jewels can hear us, see us and feel the whole Emeralds community behind them as they take the court and fight for their place in the Grand Final.
π₯ BRING ON THE PRELIM FINAL! π₯
ππ€ LETβS GO JEWELS! π€π
