Congratulations to the Year 7
RSA Netballers
Kristy Keppich-Birrell
RSA Netball Coach
Throughout Terms 2 and 3, 9 Year 7
Academy Netballers represented Rowville
Secondary College in the School Sport
Victoria State Titles.
This involved four tournament days where
the girls competed against schools firstly
from the Rowville area and eventually
ended with the three Conference winners
attending the Finals Day held at Waverley
Netball Centre.
The girls had been working extremely hard
at training on perfecting their long court
systems and court structures, as well as
improving their attacking and defensive
skills.
On Monday 5 th September two matches
were played to determine who would finish
1 st , 2nd or 3 rd in Victoria. The team was
challenged in both matches against by two
very skillful, strong and well drilled teams
(Trinity College and Catholic College
Bendigo).
Finally the girls were able to test their skills
against tough opposition. The girls had to
fight right to the end with a narrow 2 goal
victory to determine that they were the best
Year 7 Netball team in Victoria for 2011.

Term 3 training efforts will be put to the
test in the first week of the school break at
the 2011 Boys and Girls Championship of
Victoria.
In the second week the squad will be
travelling around Melbourne to a number of
other day events.
The Aaron Baddeley International Junior
Championship conducted the Victorian
Qualifying recently at the Yering Golf Club,
and good finishes from RSA players which
included Nick Mills T2 U/17, Harry ONeill
Top 10 U/16 and Cameron John T2 U/14.
These players will move forward to the
Australian Final to be played at the Heritage
Golf Club in October, where the leading four
boys at the event will go to China and
represent Australia in the International
Championship.
Finally, Cameron John has won a place in
the Victorian 12 and under team, after
shooting a championship record score of 62
(10 under par) at the State Final held
recently at Kooringal Golf Club.
He will now travel to Adelaide with the
Victorian Team to play the National
Championship in November.
Thank you for the support of the parents
and staff who came and supported the girls
I know that extra support they received
really spurred them on to win!
