🔥 What a day! 🔥

150 minutes of netball in the heat 🥵 and every single player gave it their all. The standard was so high, and we couldn’t be prouder of the girls—especially as they were all taking part in their very first rally and our first tournament! 💪

A massive thank you to all the parents for your amazing support 🙌

After finding their rhythm in Q2, Wildfire took control and never looked back. Semi once again led from the front with relentless defensive pressure, earning another well-deserved Player of the Match.
