The round 13 winner of the Spirit of Netball Award was presented to Kalkee under 17 netballer Tahlia Dufty.

Tahlia is very proud to have played all her junior netball at Kalkee. She is a passionate player and has represented the club at interleague level. Tahlia has been fortunate enough to have played in two winning grand finals for Kalkee.

Tahlia was nominated last year as best junior club person for her efforts in playing, coaching and umpiring also obtaining her C Grade badge.

She is a valuable team player and this year was named co-captain of the under 17s side.

The Round 12 winner of the Wimmera League Spirit of Netball Award was Dimboola 17 & under netballer Zanaiya Bergen.

Zanaiya is a capable young lady who has played for Dimboola for the last two years. She has bought a style of netball that is not only skilful, but respectful. She is a committed player who treats her team members like family, yet she often doubts her capabilities.

A generally happy girl who has a great sense of humour and an even greater appreciation of music and dance, which when shared with her teammates (and sometimes the opposition), leaves a lasting impression.

Her coaches and team manager couldn't be happier with her continuing progress and skill development and wish her every success in the future.

Congratulations Zanaiya from the Dimboola Football Netball Club.
