Well done to all the wonderful MANC players over the Autumn/Winter & Spring Fling seasons. Everyone should be very proud this year of their netball achievements, working as a team, and making new friends. What a wonderful spring day to finish the netball year on yesterday.

Thank you so much to all the wonderful coaches we have at MANC, the club could not run without you all and we all greatly appreciate the support and coaching you provide at training and on game day. A special shout out to Rach for all your organisation of the teams, coaches and the behind the scenes, we wish you all the best for your career outside of the MANC netball family. Ez has also been a fantastic support to us this year and in particular during Spring Fling.
