Belridge Cup 2021

The Netball Academy finished the year off with the annual Belridge Cup Netball Competition, a two day carnival that sees the Year 7 to 12 Netball Academy students fight it out for the rights to be named the Best Team of the Year.  The carnival saw some promising performances with the year 7A and year 8A teams challenging the older teams. A major upset was the year 8s winning against the 11/12s in the rounds. The year 11/12s then fought back in the semis to win a spot in the Grand Final. The year 10A team was bolstered with the inclusion of Declan Mensing alongside Sinead Harvey which made their backline formidable. 

The grand final saw the 10A and 11/12 teams locked in a close contest from the first whistle, however the momentum changed with quick transitions through the middle for the 10s via Elli Van den Broeke, Tyra Smith and Phebe Godecke. The shooters (Raiin Lowenhoff and Kate Tobin) where also on fire, converting at an extremely efficient clip seeing the year 10s taking out a huge win. 

Presentation Night

The inaugural combined Specialist Programs Award Nights was held at the WACA on the 10^th of December.  Parents were impressed with the combination of cricket and netball students, and it highlighted the amazing talent we have here at Belridge. The Netball Academy students were presented their awards by Jess Anstiss from the West Coast Fever who also shared some inspirational words with the students. We look forward to continuing our new tradition and continue to making it even better in 2022 and a huge thank you to all involved for making it such a special event. We look forward to doing it again next year.

Congratulations to the following award winners on the night:
