🤍💚 WANDONG PRIDE 💚🤍

What a special day for Wandong Netball Club! 🥹

We are incredibly proud to celebrate three of our Wandong players who have been recognised by the Kilmore Broadford Netball Association in the 2026 League Best & Fairest Awards.

🏆 Jude – U13 Best & Fairest Runner-Up
🏆 Lacey – U16 Best & Fairest Runner-Up
🏆 Abby – U16 Best & Fairest Winner

To have three Wandong players recognised at League level is an incredible achievement and something our whole club can be proud of.

These awards are decided across an entire season of netball, alongside players from clubs throughout the KBNA. To finish among the very best in your age group is a wonderful recognition of the consistency, determination, skill and sportsmanship each of these players has shown every time they have stepped onto the court.

But what makes this even more special for us is that we know the people behind the awards. ❤️

We have watched these players train, learn, challenge themselves, support their teammates and represent the green and white with pride. We've watched them grow as netballers and as people, and seeing that recognised beyond our own club is pretty special.

Jude, Lacey and Abby – congratulations. You should each be enormously proud of what you have achieved. Your Wandong family certainly is!

Today might have been about individual awards, but achievements like these are also a beautiful reflection of the teammates, coaches, families, volunteers and supporters who surround our players every week.

Three Wandong players.
Three incredible achievements.
One very proud club. 💚🤍

Congratulations Jude, Lacey & Abby! 🏆

💚🏐 CRAIGIEBURN ROUND 7 WRAP UP 🏐💚

What a round for Wandong! Four teams, four wins and plenty to celebrate as we continue to see just how much these teams have developed since the beginning of the season. 💚🤍

🤠 9&U RAIDERS

Our Raiders faced TeamXtreme Red this week and brought home a fantastic win!

This little team is developing so well and really starting to gel. Their connection on court continues to grow each week, and it is fantastic to see everything they have been working on coming together.

🌟 Player of the Day – Jacob

“Jacob did an amazing job creating space and keeping his passes right on point.”

Fantastic work, Jacob! Go Raiders! 🤠💚

🤠 11&U RENEGADES

BACK-TO-BACK WINS! 🎉

After celebrating their first win of the season last round, the Renegades have done it again, this time recording a brilliant 13–4 win over Beveridge Lightning!

It was incredibly difficult to choose a standout player this week because of just how well the entire team is beginning to play together. After six weeks of hard work, the Renegades have well and truly found their groove — and it is showing!

🌟 Player of the Match – Harper

“Harper played all over the court this week, from defence to Centre to attack, and dominated in every position.”

Well done, Harper — and congratulations Renegades! 💚👏

🤠 13&U REBELS

What a way to make your Division One debut! 🔥

The Rebels stepped up a grade this week and showed absolutely no nerves, defeating MKA Black 19–11.

A disciplined defensive effort put pressure on MKA Black's attack from the beginning, while the Rebels transitioned the ball beautifully down the court, capitalising on turnovers and maintaining their lead throughout the match.

It was a fantastic first outing in Division One and a great indication that our Rebels are ready for the challenge!

🌟 Player of the Day – Riley

“Riley showed amazing shooting skills throughout the game.”

Congratulations, Riley and the Rebels! 💚

⭐ 15/17&U STARS

The Stars delivered another dominant performance this week, defeating TeamXtreme Red 35–6.

From the opening whistle, the Stars controlled the tempo of the game. Their relentless defensive pressure created turnover after turnover, while the attacking end capitalised on those opportunities and continued to build the scoreboard.

It was a brilliant four-quarter team performance from Wandong, with the Stars continuing to show just how well they are working together.

🌟 Player of the Day – Madison

“Madison showed her amazing skills and great movement in many different positions, even taking on Centre and never giving up.”

Fantastic work, Madison! ⭐💚

Four fantastic wins, back-to-back victories for our Renegades, a successful Division One debut for our Rebels and another week of incredible development across all four teams.

💚🤍 Well done Raiders, Renegades, Rebels & Stars — what a Weekend! Bring on Round 8! 🏐🙌

🏐💚 PRELIMINARY FINAL WRAP-UP 💚🏐

Saturday brought our final two Wandong teams to the court for the Preliminary Finals, with 11&U White and 16&U Green both fighting for a place in the Grand Final.

While it wasn’t to be for either team, there is so much more to their seasons than the final scores. Both teams gave us plenty to be proud of, and their incredible journeys deserve to be celebrated.

🤍 11&U WHITE vs PYALONG MAROON

The sun was shining, but a crisp breeze swept across the court as our 11&U White team took on Pyalong Maroon.

From the very first whistle, the game was fast-paced and intense. Ava was on fire through the midcourt, while Mya and Wynter paired beautifully in the goal circle. Down the other end, Keira-Lee was absolutely relentless in GK, taking intercept after intercept and owning the defensive end all game long.

Our girls played with absolute heart and soul. They chased down every ball, fought for every possession and simply never gave up.

The game felt incredibly close throughout, but Pyalong managed to pull away in the final quarter to take the win 18–12 and bring our girls' season to an end.

Naturally, there were a few tears when the final whistle blew. It’s always hard when a season comes to an end, especially when a team has worked so hard and come so far.

But every single one of these players should be immensely proud of their journey this year. Watching their skills, confidence and connection grow throughout the season has been an absolute privilege.

A huge thank you to all of the families and supporters for your dedication throughout the year, and to Kate for everything she has given this team.

Girls, you made us incredibly proud. What a wonderful season. 🤍

💚 16&U GREEN vs KILMORE NAVY

We knew this one was going to be a showdown, and our 16&U Green team stepped onto the court with a mixture of smiles, nerves and excitement, ready to take on a very worthy opponent in Kilmore Navy.

Kilmore settled first and put the opening few goals on the board while our nerves got the better of us.

The second quarter proved challenging, with some distractions from outside the court making it difficult for the team to maintain their focus. By half-time, Kilmore had opened up a 15–8 lead and we knew we needed to find a way to reset.

Changing ends in the third quarter gave the team an opportunity to block everything else out, refocus and get back to doing what they do best — playing netball.

And that’s exactly what they did.

The second half showed the fight, determination and resilience that has defined this team all season. Emily was outstanding in defence, running a full game at GD and displaying incredible fitness, determination and skill.

Wandong won the second half of the match, but unfortunately the early deficit proved just a little too much to overcome, with Kilmore progressing to the Grand Final with a 26–21 win.

But that score tells only a tiny part of the story of this team.

This season, our entire playing group is bottom age, including two players still eligible for the 13&U age group. We went into the year hoping they might pick up a win or two, develop their skills and gain valuable experience playing at this level.

Instead, they absolutely blew those expectations out of the water.

💚 2nd on the ladder
🤍 Only two losses during the home-and-away season
💚 A place in the Preliminary Final

What an extraordinary achievement from such a young team.

We could not be prouder of the season you have had. It has been an absolute privilege to be part of your journey, and I could not have asked for a better group of players.

Hold your heads high. You have achieved something pretty special this year — and we have a feeling this is only the beginning. 💚🤍

💚 PROUD TO BE WANDONG 🤍

And with that, our 2026 KBNA season comes to a close.

To every player who pulled on the green and white this season, every coach and team manager who gave their time, every family who got players to training and games, and every supporter who stood on the sidelines cheering us on — thank you.

We are incredibly proud of everything our Wandong teams have achieved this season.

Win, lose or draw, we do it together.

GO WANDONG! 💚🤍🏐

💚 CRAIGIEBURN ROUND 6 WRAP UP 💚

Round 6 looked a little different for our Wandong teams, with our Raiders sitting this one out while plenty of their players were busy representing Wandong at the KBNA 9&U Round Robin. Meanwhile, our other three teams took to the courts at Craigieburn — and there was plenty to celebrate! 🏐💚🤍

🤠 11&U RENEGADES

🎉 FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON! 🎉

What a fantastic moment for our Renegades, who recorded their first win of the season in convincing style with an 8–1 victory over Maggie's Magic!

After coming so close last round, it was brilliant to see all the hard work the girls have put in over the past five weeks come together — and this time show on the scoreboard!

This team has continued to improve every single week, and that persistence has paid off. Congratulations, Renegades! 💚👏

🌟 Player of the Match – Leyla

“Leyla had her best game of the season with a consistent and impactful four-quarter effort. Well done.”

🤠 13&U REBELS

Another strong performance from the Rebels, defeating TeamXtreme 23–2.

The Rebels worked hard as a team, demonstrating excellent communication and determination across all four quarters. Their defensive pressure was particularly impressive, restricting TeamXtreme to just two goals, while the attacking end continued to build the score.

A fantastic all-round team effort and another great result for the Rebels! 💪💚

⭐ 15/17&U STARS

The Stars put together another excellent performance, finishing with a convincing 36–7 victory over MKA.

From the opening whistle, the Stars showed great teamwork, accurate passing and strong movement through the court. Their defensive pressure created plenty of turnovers, which the team worked hard to convert into scoring opportunities.

Most impressively, they maintained that intensity across all four quarters to finish with a well-deserved win. ⭐💚

🌟 No individual Player of the Match awards were presented for the Rebels or Stars this week — both performances were fantastic team efforts.

A huge congratulations to our Renegades on their first win, another pair of impressive performances from our Rebels and Stars, and well done to our Raiders who were busy with a huge day of netball elsewhere.

Another great weekend for Wandong! 💚🤍🏐

🏐 WHAT A WEEKEND FOR WANDONG! 💚🤍

Saturday was a huge day of netball at St Pats, with our U11 White and U16 Green taking to the court for finals, while our U9 White and U9 Green finished their season with a fantastic Round Robin.

💚 U11 WHITE – THROUGH TO THE PRELIM! 💚

Wandong White 24 def Broadford Red 16

Saturday's game had a little bit of everything – clouds, light rain, sunshine and plenty of finals nerves!

The opening quarter saw the girls rushing a little as they worked to move the ball from centre court into goals, but by the second quarter they had found their feet. They began controlling the game, settling into their structures and finishing off some amazing shots in the goal circle.

By the third quarter, the team had really banded together. They fought incredibly hard for every ball, applying fantastic pressure and intercepting pass after pass.

Then came the fourth quarter…and it was ALL WANDONG! 🙌

Taking a four-goal lead into the final term, the girls gave absolutely everything they had until the final whistle, extending their lead to eight and securing an impressive 24–16 victory!

The excitement and smiles when they realised they had won said it all. 💚

But perhaps one of the best moments came after the final whistle. Despite having fought so hard against Broadford all game, our girls immediately showed the compassion and sportsmanship we are so proud to see at Wandong, embracing their opponents with hugs after the game. Competitors on court, kindness and respect afterwards.

A huge congratulations to every player on an incredible team performance. You gave 100% from the moment you stepped onto the court until the final whistle, and you should be enormously proud.

👏 U11 White now progress to the Preliminary Final next Saturday against Pyalong Maroon!

💚 U16 GREEN – ONE MORE CHANCE 💚

Seymour Black 43 def Wandong Green 14

Our U16 Green faced their toughest challenge of the season against a Seymour side that came out firing from the very first whistle.

Seymour were in incredible shooting form and built an early lead, while our players found it difficult to move the ball through to our attacking end.

Despite the scoreboard, Wandong continued to fight right until the end. There were some fantastic passages of play and an incredible 33 intercepts, with Kevin and Natalie absolutely killing it in defence and refusing to give Seymour anything easily.

It wasn't the result we had hoped for, but finishing second on the ladder means our season isn't over yet!

💪 U16 Green will take on Kilmore in next Saturday's Preliminary Final.

🌟 OUR U9 SUPERSTARS! 🌟

And then there were our U9s…who were once again quite possibly the most animated teams of the entire day! 😂💚

Both U9 White and U9 Green put on a wonderful display of everything junior netball should be about – sportsmanship, great attitudes, teamwork and FUN!

There were smiles, dancing, high fives and plenty of laughs all round.

When it was time to collect their medals, U9 Green cartwheeled their way there, while U9 White danced their way through the line to the music, loud and proud! 😂🏅

We couldn't think of a better way for our youngest players to finish their Winter season. They represented Wandong beautifully and reminded us all that while netball is about learning and competing, it's also about friendships, confidence and having an absolute ball along the way.

💚🤍 Well done to every single Wandong player, coach, team manager, family and supporter on an amazing day!

A huge thank you to St Pats for hosting us and helping make the day such a great one.

Now we turn our attention to next Saturday…

🔥 TWO PRELIM FINALS. TWO WANDONG TEAMS. LET'S GO! 🔥

💚 U11 White vs Pyalong Maroon
💚 U16 Green vs Kilmore Navy

We look forward to doing it all again next weekend! GO WANDONG! 💚🤍🏐
