Wodonga Raiders won the club’s first A grade netball premiership be defeating Yarrawonga, 49 goals to 40, infront of a large crowd at the Lavington Sports Ground on Sunday.
Raiders’ coach Jodie House said the premiership “finally puts the club on the map” and answered some big questions.
“I think there has been a lot of doubt about the quality of our players and whether they can withstand this sort of pressure,” she said.
“Last year the comment was made that to be the real deal you have to win a grand final.
“Our girls went out today and stuck to their guns and ran through the game plan...they were faultless.”
