It was finals week for the Montana Catering Secondary Schools Championship competition on Saturday.
Despite the variable weather (sun and showers; warm and cold) some great games of netball were played throughout the day with good spectator support.
Prize giving was held between rounds due to the intermittent showers.
Forthe Senior Premier secondary schools championship grade final, the game between TAC Open Premier and Dio Development was highly contested and competitive. The game was drawn at the final whistle and went into extra time; however, TAC Open quickly concluded the game by immediately going two goals up. The final score was 32 goals to 30.
The Year 10 Premier final also went into extra time with the eventual winners being CHS Junior Premier over Panther Crew by 29 goals to 27 but overall another great game. Congratulations to these four teams and all other teams in finals.
