NETBALL WRAP
North Ballarat City has claimed the Ballarat Football Netball League A-grade premiership after defeating East Point by seven goals in a physical battle at Mars Stadium on Saturday.
While East Point got out of the blocks early, North worked its way into the game and took the lead in the second quarter. From there, it was neck-and-neck until North found momentum late and built a buffer ensuring the 50-43 victory.
North’s young gun Maddison Selmon was awarded best on court for her work around the goals.
North Ballarat City coach Annie McCartin was thrilled after the game to see all the hard work pay off in the best way possible.
“I don’t think you could ever put it in words,” she said.
“It’s just the best thing, we’ve worked so hard, we’ve been in the last couple of grand finals and we just couldn’t get across the line. To get across the line today, and I knew how much it meant to everybody, not just the girls and myself but to families and the whole club, it is just the best.”
