Taylor said there was no secret in achieving the lofty milestone.
“I think it’s just the love for the game, a great club, great team members and fitness,” she said.
In the final home-and-away contest of the Horsham District league season, Taylor lined up in goal keeper for the Ewes’ B Grade squad.
It was a victory to the Ewes, who defeated the Saints 28-20.
The Ewes have finished their 2017 home-and-away campaign undefeated.
“Our B Grade side are top, so we will see how we go … hopefully we can get there,” she said.
Taylor has played netball at Natimuk since 1994 and has picked up five A Grade league best-and-fairest awards along the way – in 2002-2004, 2007 and 2011.
She was among the Ewes’ 2015 A Grade premiership-winning team and was awarded a life membership at Natimuk in 2012.
“Winning the grand final in A Grade was very good and becoming a life member of the club was a highlight,” Taylor said.
“We’ve played in a lot of finals and grand finals but have only won one premiership.”
Taylor is playing B Grade netball in 2017 due to a knee injury she sustained in 2016.
“I have played in A Grade mostly and then I came back to B Grade this year after a knee injury,” she said.
“It was slow coming back from the injury.
“I think my head knows what I need to be doing but my body is not quite there.”
Taylor said she wasn’t sure if she wanted to try her hand at A Grade netball again.
“We’ll see what happens next year with what juniors come up,” she said.
