Model magic
4th August 2008

It has recently come to our attention that one of our East 2 girls Makaia Carr has been leading a double life as a successful part time model. Not one to let on it would have stayed a secret until her coach Moana let it slip to the committee and sent on some great photos. We've put them up on our club news page just to embarass Makaia further - they really are good - so if you are looking for a model look no further than our own club member Makaia Carr!

Wellington 2 is in second grade which will be played as a week-long tournament in Rotorua on 29 September-4 October.

A number of Wellington East players have been selected for these teams:

Club Captain wins Wellington Cup Fashion in the Field

High Fashion meets Netball Mum...

Wellington Racing Club
Wellington Cup
26th January 2008

* Traditional Lady of the Carnival *
* 2008 Fashion in the Field Supreme Winner *

I'd like to send out a HUGE congratulations to our Club Captain Sam Hannah for picking up another two awards in the Weekend at the Annual Wellington Racing Club Fashion in the Field Event.

Sam outshone the competition and not only took out the * Traditional Lady of the Carnival *, but also took out all the winners and was named * 2008 Fashion in the Field Supreme Winner *.

When told as part of the prize she was to drive home in a stunning new 2008 BMW 335 Cabriolet convertible valued at over $100,000, courtesy of Jeff Gray BMW, her comment was "how am I going to fit two kids in the convertible!".

My comment to Sam was - "stuff the kids - how are you going to fit the East Netball Committee in that convertible!"

Congratulations Sam - not only do Wellington East have the Best Premier 1 Team in Wellington; the best Netball Club in Wellington (Club Championship Award) and the Wellington Club Administrator of the Year - but we also have the best dressed Club Captain Fashion in the Field Supreme Winner! Now Sam is off to Auckland to compete in the NZ Fashion in the Field in early March. Not bad for a mum of two who entered on a whim :)

Always knew you were a star Sam! Now if we can only get BMW to sponsor the club and give all members a new BMW....

Premier 1 Champions!

CONGRATULATIONS EAST RED IN BRINGING HOME THE PREMIER 1 CUP!

East Red 47 - 36 PIC Black

Sam and I were one of the many East supporters watching this superb game, unfortunately she's off to Aussie today so I'm sending this out on her behalf. You girls lead from the charge and played with pride - there was some fantastic netball to be seen last night! Although I must admit the highlight of the night has to be the sneaking of the champagne into the pub and drinking bubbles from the Prem 1 cup - all class ladies!

To all the supporters that turned up - what a great night - the girls turned it on and was wonderful to see so many people out supporting our club! I saw members from East Blue (how could we miss you!), East 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 14 & 15... Sorry if I missed any teams that were there!

Lisa & Jo - you have proven to be a formidable combination this year. Its been a long long road to bringing this cup back but you have done it! All the time, effort and dedication put in has come to fruition. Every member of this club shares in this success with you!

Bronwyn - you are a proven winner and have lead by example from the beginning, and not only should you be justifiably proud of your own standout performance this year, but that of your team. You have lead this team to victory and again every member of this club shares in this teams success.

Cush, Helen, Stacey, Ni'ia, Fran, Jimmy, Jo, Sarah & Deb. You are one bunch of classy girls. It's been a tough season and you all have given yourselves 100%. Congratulations - you deserve to be called the best and we are proud to have you as representatives of Wellington East Netball Club.

What a way to end a superb season - like Sam says - East Domination is just beginning.

'Diehards' Win Bronze at Wanganui Masters

Congratulations to Robbie Herbison and her team the 'Diehards' (plus a few imports) for taking Bronze Medals at the latest Masters Netball Competition held on the 16th, 17th and 18th February in Wanganui. This is coming off a Gold at the Hawkes Bay Masters held late last year!

Gossip has it that although most of the team is over the 45yr mark, a couple of girls aren't, so they had to play in the younger 35+ grade!!! But they still showed them a thing or two taking away a Bronze placing. The Diehards now hold 2 Bronze's and 1 Silver so looks like they will try for that elusive Gold next time.

And the winning team is.....

Top (Left to Right)
Jo Waugh, Raylene Cummins, Kim Wotherspoon, Mary Haggie, Julia Roberts, Deb Mills (NCOG), Lynley Worsley

Bottom (Left to Right)
Eileen Doricott (NCOG), Robbie Herbison, Anne Robinson (NCOG), Jo Millet (Umpire)

And they went for.......Netball?
