Teams go head-to-head for 2024 Karratha Netball Association grand finals

It was a massive weekend on the courts at the Karratha Netball Association grand finals with plenty of stand-out performances and tight matches. Saturday started strong with the youngest competitors showing determination, skill and sportsmanship across the junior grand finals. Division 12B saw Cougars Blue defeat Kats 19-2, followed by a 47-27 victory for Tequiras over Falcons in division 12A. The vigour continued in the junior division one decider between Flames Black and Kats, with Flames Black coming out on top with an impressive 46-44 victory. Similarly, there were a few nailbiters during the senior grand finals with all teams bringing their A-game and producing an exciting and competitive end to the season. In the division one battle, Flames secured a narrow win against the Kats 35-32. “The senior division one game was a nailbiter, with the game extending into overtime due to an even score of 28 by both teams at the end of the fourth quarter,” Karratha Netball Association president Jacqui Jones said. “This meant teams then played two additional five minute halves, swapping ends in between, with the winner being Flames by three goals at the final whistle.” Meanwhile, the men’s division saw Thunderbolts defeat Tequiras 54-27. “A highlight of the games was seeing excitement from all our teams and supporters in preparation for their games, there was an electric buzz of excitement around the courts,” Jones said. “Our division one junior grand final and senior grand finals displayed some incredible netball game play with scores being really close throughout the game.” Final scores: 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟏𝟐𝐁 Cougars Blue 19 def Kats 2 Best on Court: Gillian Cheruiyot, Cougars 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗩𝗣: Abbey Elborough, Kats 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿-𝗨𝗽 𝗠𝗩𝗣: Nathalie Dinglasan, Cougars 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟏𝟐𝐀 Tequiras 47 def Falcons 27 Best on Court: Rylee Pettitt, Tequiras 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗩𝗣: Imogen Langfield, Dampier 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿-𝗨𝗽 𝗠𝗩𝗣: Rylee Pettitt, Tequiras 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟒𝐁 Flames 40 def Kats White 26 Best on Court: Aotea-Mei Borrel, Flames 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗩𝗣: Aotea-Mei Borrell, Flames 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿-𝗨𝗽 𝗠𝗩𝗣: Jaden Fitzpatrick, Kats 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟒𝐀 Wickham White 40 def White Navy 28 Best on Court: Harper Harradine, Wickham White 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗩𝗣: Harper Harradine, Wickham 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿-𝗨𝗽 𝗠𝗩𝗣: Aiyana Wano, Wickham 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟑 Thunderbolts Gold 48 def Blades Orange 26 Best on Court: Isabella Bishop, Thunderbolts 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗩𝗣: Ruby Parsons, Blades 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿-𝗨𝗽 𝗠𝗩𝗣: Alena Goh, Tequiras 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟐 Thunderbolts Black 54 def Falcons 38 Best on Court: Ferne Jenkins, Thunderbolts 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗩𝗣: Emillia Trebell, Thunderbolts 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿-𝗨𝗽 𝗠𝗩𝗣: Greia Smith, Falcons 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟏 Flames Black 46 def Kats 44 Best on Court: Lucy Benson, Kats 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗩𝗣: Macy Bruce, Thunderbolts 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿-𝗨𝗽 𝗠𝗩𝗣: Charli Lovelock, Tequiras 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘀 Thunderbolts 54 def Tequiras 27 Best on Court: Mitchell Gin, Thunderbolts 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟲 Flames 46 def Kats White 32 Best on Court: Sharni Lehmann, Flames 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟱 Falcons Blue 50 def Kats Blue 45 Best on Court: Carissa Ives, Falcons 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟰 Thunderbolts Black 44 def Kats White 29 Best on Court: Bronte Taylor, Thunderbolts 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟯 Thunderbolts Gold 47 def Kats White 40 Best on Court: Sarah Owens, Bolts 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟮 Kats 48 def Thunderbolts 45 Best on Court: Ava Fountain, Thunderbolts 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟭 Flames 35 def Kats 32 Best on Court: Darcy Kerr, Kats
