Athletes demonstrated that rain, hail or shine, they were ready to take on some of the best netballers from across the region, with more than 55 teams competing throughout the weekend.
All eyes were on the 12/U Division 2 game, which went into extra time twice. After the match ended in a draw, the teams played two additional seven-minute quarters. When the scores were still level, they played a further five minutes for golden point, and still finished in a draw.
The South West and Peel Region Volunteer Awards, presented each year, recognise hardworking volunteers across the region. Congratulations to Teagan Roney from Collie Netball Association, the 2025 South West recipient, and Peel recipient Taya Jensen from Pinjarra Netball Association.
