This week marks the last week of Twilight, and the last week of Bullants netball for 2024!

SCNA is hosting their annual Cystic Fibrosis Santa Hat Round across Tuesday and Wednesday, with Santa hats for sale on both nights and a bake sale on Tuesday! Be sure to bring along your cash for a Santa hat, as well as your baked goods to donate, with all proceeds from both going towards Cystic Fibrosis ACT.

Managers of Twilight teams, please look out for an email from us tonight! We’ll need to collect all of our bags back to prepare our equipment for next year, and we’ll be ready and waiting to collect these from you on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

We’re looking forward to a super exciting 2025. Our new courts should be ready for our winter season, and SCNA was very excitingly successful in the Play Our Way program, which will provide funding for 4 additional courts, hopefully ready for season 2026.

If you can’t wait for our winter season to start, Arawang Netball Association are hosting a Monday evening competition in January for interested teams. While we won’t be able to support with organisation, team building or umpires, we’d love to see some Bullants teams playing together to get ready for winter. Keep an eye on their facebook page for more info.

In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled to the blog, we’ll be in touch early next year to let you know when registrations for 2025 open. We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a safe holiday period, and we can’t wait to see you all back for 2025!

SCNA have cancelled all games for Wednesday night due to heavy rain and very wet courts.

With the rain, the courts are too wet to play tonight. All games are cancelled for the evening.

Fingers crossed for next week!

Following up on a successful AGM, we’d like to share our 2025 Bullants Netball committee. We’re all eager to jump into the new year, on our brand-new playing courts (after we finish our Twilight season of course).

To all our lovely new and returning Bullants, we are SO excited to welcome you all next week! A huge reminder that the games this season are being played at the Arawang netball courts in Stirling, and not at our home ground SCNA. By now, you should have team lists, and managers should be in touch in the next few days. Most of the draws are already up on PlayHQ and netballHQ, please note when your game times are, noting that some grades will move between time slots.

As always, if you’d like to umpire Twilight, we’d love to hear from you! If you can help out please email us at bullantsnetball@gmail.com to let us know you’re interested, and we’ll get you paid!

For those new to our club, if you would like to purchase a uniform, the uniform shop will be open this Sunday afternoon (the 13th of October) at 2pm, you’re welcome to come down to the courts at SCNA and we can get you fitted out. Please note that uniforms are entirely optional for our twilight season, and a lot of teams choose to wear active wear in Bullants colours, instead of our uniform pieces.

End of year survey: Please click here to complete our community survey, to let us know how you felt about the 2024 winter season. We’re so grateful for all of those who have already completed it, and would love to see some more responses before it closes next week.

We are so excited for tomorrow! Grand final day is upon us! We have 11 teams, 18 coaches and 7 umpires representing Bullants tomorrow, making us all super proud!

There are a few differences between grand final day and our usual competition, starting with game times!

Physical scorecards will be used for our inters and above, and Cadets div 1+2, and seniors games will be individually timed. Team benches will also be enforced, so if you are spectating, please ensure you’re on the side opposite to the team, ensuring they can focus on the game!

We’d love to see you there to support our Bullants teams, and celebrate their achievements!

After the festivities of the day, for our seniors, presentation night is on at 6pm! If you’ve RSVP’d, please join us at the Austrian Club to celebrate the season, and enjoy an evening together.

For the rest of the club, we’ll remind you again beforehand, but we’re looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday night for presentation night!
