The GIG WANL 2024 regular season comes to an epic close

Before the commencement of each game, athletes, staff and spectators paid their respect to Liz Booth. Liz, who recently passed away, was a champion of West Australian Netball and made an indelible mark on GIG WANL. 

Sharks and Jets take only draw for the season on 51 points 

The Jets, who had one win to their name for the season going into Round 14, ended their season with a bang. The side won the first three quarters of the game, until the Sharks fought back to tie the match. 

In goals, Jet Kate Kimberley (28) and Brooke Gibson (23) were a very strong duo. The pair combined with the impactful defence of Claire Pickerill in Goal Defence and Brooke O’Connor in Goalkeeper who kept the Sharks at bay. 

With the crowd on the edge of their seats, Gibson’s goal in the final three seconds of the fourth quarter tied the game up. 

Shark Sophie Eastaugh even took her highest goals for the season with 31, alongside Georgie Cleaver’s 18 and Indi Strom’s two.
