Bullants Netball Club Inc.

All the best to the Bullants players representing SCNA in the U13, U14 & U15 Junior Championships this weekend.  We know you will play hard and give it your best efforts. 

As a result of junior championships being held this weekend there will be no games played at Deakin on Saturday.

TRAINING – regardless of whether there are games on Saturdays, training is still scheduled each Wednesday.  The only exception to this is when there is a wet weather cancellation. 

Committee meeting – The Bullants committee is meeting on Saturday 1 August to organise the end of season BBQ and summer competition.  If you would like to be involved in any aspect of club operations please join us at the Deakin Courts at 10:30 am.

It looks like tomorrow’s National Netball day is going to be a damp one!

A wet weather draw has been created for NSG Set to get the games off the grass courts.  This will affect Chinook who were due to play on the grass.  They will now only play a half game starting at 9:23 am. Please be at the courts by 9 am.

Team photos – Shawnee need to have their team photo tomorrow.  Please be at the courts in full uniform by 10:30. If it is not raining we will take the photo down in the pavilion car park. 

Canteen – Sioux is on canteen duty from 9:50-11 am which if the weather is bad might be the best place to be.

Cancellations – any cancellation will only be made close to game start time so please come prepared to play.  All cancellations will be notified on the website.

It looks like the rain may continue into the afternoon so we are cancelling training.  The courts currently have a lot of water pooling on them. Here’s hoping the weather will be fine for National Netball Day on Saturday.

A number of opportunities exist for players and officials in the 2015 SCNA Senior U19 and 2016 U15 Rep squad.  Successful players have the opportunity to join the 2016 SCNA netball tour to New Zealand.

60 cheering Bullants went out to support the Canberra Darters tonight; some Chinook players even won a prize for the best support poster. Good job girls.

And check out Comanche supporting SIDS and Kids ACT with their red noses.

It looks like the rain has passed and so we will be good to play this weekend.

Bye – Seniors Div 1 Cherokee

Canteen duty – Cheyenne 11:50am – 1pm

Canberra Darters game – All the free tickets have now been allocated so Bullants will be providing a 60 strong cheer squad! I will pick up the tickets at 6pm. You will find me in the foyer of the AIS from 6 – 6:40 pm. Don’t forget to wear PINK and bring your best cheering voices.

The radar suggests the rain will most likely hang around today so training will not go ahead tonight.  Stay dry ☔️
