🔥 What a day! 🔥

150 minutes of netball in the heat 🥵 and every single player gave it their all. The standard was so high, and we couldn’t be prouder of the girls—especially as they were all taking part in their very first rally and our first tournament! 💪

A massive thank you to all the parents for your amazing support 🙌
