Rangers Awards Nomination

What ended up being a very hot day, it was great to see our girls on court giving it their best.

 Rangers 13 12 Yrs Div 1 – Cameron Craig’s brave soldiers worked hard but unfortunately were out gunned by Lakers on the day. As usual the girls gave 100% right until the end. Big shout out to Grace who had to be taken to hospital after a nasty fall. Hope you feeling better!

Rangers 8 14/15 Div 5 – Sam and Sarah’s girls have had a fabulous season and have shown great teamwork. Unfortunately Stuartholme got the jump on them early and although our girls worked hard until the end they could not pull back the lead. The girls can be proud that at the end of the game they obviously had nothing left in the tank.

Rangers 9 14/15 Div 6 – Suze’s crew looked good from the start and got out to an early lead and despite Raiders surging towards the end they hang on to win by 7. This puts these girls straight into the Grand Final in 2 weeks. Great effort girls especially as last time these two teams met the scores were reversed.

Rangers 3 Senior Div 3 – John’s crazy gals were just too good yesterday and never looked like loosing from start to finish. It was pretty to watch. This puts this team straight to the Grand Final as well. Well done team 3!

 Rangers 10 13 Yrs div 1 – Special mention to this team who showed true Rangers spirit yesterday. It made us proud they are OUR team. Even when the odds seemed against them they just smiled and played harder – very mature for such young girls. They finished equal third on the ladder and have missed out by a few % on goal averages. Great season girls well done!

 Good luck girls! Play hard, play fair and have fun!

Teams with 6 in the division, have their last fixture tomorrow.  Teams with 8 in the division, it is semi final time. Special shout out to two teams who were just pipped at the post to make finals:

• Rangers 17, 11 Yrs Div 2 coached by Stephanie & Roxanne Dyer missed out on a place in the finals by a 2% goal average. Great season girls!
• Rangers 14, 12 Yrs div 2 coached by Michael & Bri Fitzgerald were moved up a division early in the year and only missed making the finals by 1 point. Exceptional effort!

August must be birthday month – we have another Senior girl who started in nettas turn 21 today.  Who are those other young things with her?  Happy Birthday Sam, hope you had a great day!

As well as appreciating our coaches today, lets also wish our wonderful and hard working President a very Happy Birthday!  Have a lovely day Chery.
