Going Stong - Update

To all the beautiful pink ladies,

I thought I'd update you all on my netball team's (Jervois 'Bluds') Grand Final. We went into the game very much the underdogs with the local newspaper saying "On the seasons performance, Ramblers and Jervois are miles apart.....My Tip Ramblers".

Needless to say we were very enthused about being in the Final and was going to give it all we had as we had nothing to loose.

WE WON!!!! 29 - 43

The whole team and netball club are over the moon as my team was the only one to win a premiership this year. It's been a week and a half and we are still celebrating.

If you read my last post "Going Strong" you know that I was not expecting to actually get on court but would be baraking on my team from the bench, well I am so happy to report that not only did I get on court but I played half a game.

I am so proud of my coach, as while I was on court one of the teams suposed supporters made a unnecessary comment about me wearing gloves when playing netball. She turned around to the person and promptly told them off telling them that I had medical clearance to wear gloves as I had been diagnosed with Breast Cancer which promptly shut the person up. When I was told about this later by a teammate and friend who was sitting on the bench at the time I was so proud to have her as a coach even though we did not always agree.

I would like to thank you all for reading what was meant to be a short post, :-)

  • I know and no you are not a bad mum, I so would have loved to see the look on his face when my coach told him.

    Hope her finger is all good now

  • I have stood on the side lines whilst my daughter has played in netball grand finals, it is so exciting. Wow your team had a great win.

    Its amazing how bc shuts people up. Netball daughter has played with a broken little finger, after complaining that her jared finger still hurt I took her for an xray.  The receptionist had a go at me for waiting 3 weeks, I said yep sorry bad mum:( I have been a bit busy with my breast cancer treatment.  She didn't know which way to look.
