Bullants Netball Club Inc.

The second last round of the season proper will see catch up games played from the lost round on June 4.  Split rounds need to be played in Juniors Div 4 and Inters Div 2 & 4 so please be mindful of the need to change courts at half time.  Just a reminder that next Saturday 20 August there will be no netball at SCNA due to U13-U15 Reps Junior Championships.  Good luck to all the Bullants players, coaches and umpires involved in the weekend.

Byes:
Juniors Div 4 Cree – Opposition Forfeit game 1; Bye Game 2 😦

End of season PARTY – Details will be sent out during the week but please save Wednesday Sept 21 and come and join us.

It’s hard to believe we are in the tail end of the season.  Three weeks of competition remain before the finals series.  Please note we will play on the following Saturdays 30 July, 13 Aug & 27 Aug.  On Saturday 6 Aug and 20 Aug, the SCNA Junior Rep teams will be playing their hardest in the ACT Junior Championships; good luck to all the Bullants players, coaches and umpires participating in Junior Champs.  A very big thanks to the Bullants players, coaches and Mum’s and Dad’s who took the Crazy Hair and Sock day challenge on.  Overall SCNA supporters raised $1600 on the day which is an amazing effort.

Once again there is the possibility of rain but hopefully it won’t hang around on Saturday. Don’t forget that we have all weather courts so in the event of wet weather any decision to cancel will not be made until the last moment (unless of course it is pouring and there is ongoing thunder and lightning).  All notifications will be on the SCNA website (http://scna.act.netball.com.au)  FIRST then we will make it happen at the Bullants level.  Remember we aim to play and if it is raining in one part of Canberra doesn’t mean it is raining in Deakin so come prepared to play!
