The Stratford Eltham Rugby and Sports Club’s Premier Three netball team has made it to the finals, and team manager Michael Petrie says the team has worked hard to get there.
“We’re all pretty excited. The girls have worked very hard in their training and games. We’ve had a few injuries this season, but our team has stepped up and worked together as a team.”
The team will play against New Plymouth Girls’ High School on Saturday, July 22 at New Plymouth’s TSB Stadium. He says the last team from the club to make it to the finals was the Premier Two netball team in 2018.
“It’s very exciting to be at this point. It’s just a reflection of how hard the premier three side has worked this season.”
He says support from the Stratford Eltham Rugby and Sports Club committee and netball co-ordinators has helped the team succeed this year.
