After a thrilling season, both A and B Grade netball teams have taken out the GVL Premierships on Sunday September 22.

Holly Reid lead the charge and won A grade best on court and co-coached Sarah Ternes won B grades honours.

B Grade has emerged as the 2024 Premiers, defeating Mooroopna 40-34 in a hard-fought contest.

Coming off a near-flawless season with just one loss, Ternes and her team capped off the year with a triumphant victory in the Goulburn Murray Netball League Grand Final.

Reflecting on the victory, Ternes expressed her excitement and relief.

“It feels great to be the 2024 Premiers.

B Grade had an incredible season, with just one loss in there—so nearly flawless!" she shared.

Securing the win in the grand final was the perfect ending to an exceptional season.

Stepping into the grand final, the team’s confidence was palpable.

Adding extra significance to the match was Molly Redfern playing her 100th game for the club, giving everyone even more motivation.

Euroa won the toss and immediately set the tone, with Millie Watson working the ball down to Grace Warnock, kicking off the game with purpose.

A strong 13-goal opening quarter saw Euroa head into the first break with a narrow two-goal lead, 13-11.

Despite the tense moments, the Magpies steadily extended their lead, showing strength and composure.

Bree Sudomirski and Brodie West were standout performers in the midcourt, moving the ball forward with precision to give shooters Bree Poole and Sarah Ternes plenty of opportunities to keep the scoreboard ticking.

By halftime, Euroa had a solid seven-goal advantage.

Mooroopna’s determination to close the gap kept the contest intense, but Euroa’s defense remained unshakable.

Kelly Hill and Grace Warnock were dominant, ensuring that Mooroopna couldn’t make inroads into the lead.

By the end of the third quarter, Euroa had built a commanding 10-goal buffer.

Fresh legs in the form of Molly Redfern and Caitlyn Elliott kept the energy high in the final quarter, and Euroa’s momentum carried them through to a well-deserved 2024 premiership.

"The game did have its ups and downs.

We managed to get a small lead early and then kept building on that.

Mooroopna were determined and constantly tried to close the gap," Ternes explained.

"Each time they came at us, we managed to get a few turnovers and push the lead back out again."

Ternes, who was named Best on Court, was quick to attribute her standout performance to the collective effort of the entire team.

"I think the efforts of everyone around me really helped.

My job is to put the ball through the ring, but I can’t do that without midcourters bringing the ball down and defenders creating turnovers."

Looking back on the match, Ternes singled out Millie Watson’s incredible game in Centre, running out nearly the whole 60 minutes, while Kelly Hill and Grace Warnock shone defensively.

"Millie caused turnovers and took intercepts all day!" she praised.

With the grand final win secured, Ternes and her team are now looking forward to some well-earned downtime before preparing for the 2025 season.

"The teams is very much looking forward to celebrating the win, and they will do that well.

Then, I would say we’ll all have a few months off and start thinking about 2025 closer to Christmas."

Euroa’s A Grade netball team claimed a historic victory, defeating Echuca 50-38 in the 2024 Goulburn Murray Netball League Grand Final.

The Magpies built momentum right from the start, winning the toss and quickly taking control of the game.

Olivia Morris set the tone with accurate shooting, while Sophie Owen made an early impact with a crucial intercept, helping Euroa to a seven-goal lead at the first break.

The defensive duo of Tylah Marchbank and Ellie Warnock made life difficult for Echuca, forcing turnovers and capitalizing on errors.

Despite Echuca’s efforts to fight back in the third quarter, Euroa’s defensive pressure held strong, maintaining a steady lead.

By the final whistle, the Magpies had secured a 12-goal win, breaking a 41-year premiership drought and making history as dual premiership winners.

Both teams bringing home premiership cups, Euroa’s 2024 season will be remembered as a historic and defining moment for the club.

The players can now enjoy a well-deserved break before turning their focus to the challenges of the 2025 season.
