Referee Leigh Ferris had her work cut out keeping control of the net-ball game. The other fixture was a soccer game between the boys' school team and a fathers' team. This exciting game was won by the boys at a close 6 points to 5. (This is the school's first soccer team in its first season, and they were runners-up in the primary schools' B grade competition).
