Netball Grand Finals
The 2025 North Canberra Netball Competition Grand Finals wrapped up in thrilling fashion on Saturday, with our 3 teams leaving it all on the court and fighting until the final whistle.
In a gripping contest for the Inters Division 9 crown, the Harriers edged past GNC Green Ambers in a close encounter. Through sharp shooting and relentless defence, the Harriers held their nerve to secure a well-earned victory and take home the premiership trophy.
In the Inters Division 5, the Radford Falcons faced a tough opponent and, despite a valiant effort, fell short in the final. Their season was marked by growth and grit, with players continually seeking to develop their skills.
In one of the most exciting matches of the finals, the Radford Hawks battled EGNC Maroon in an Inters Division 3 showdown that ran into extra time. With both teams refusing to back down, the Hawks showed incredible heart to draw the game at the end of regular time and staying goal for goal for the majority of extra time before narrowly going down 28–30. It was a match that will be remembered for its intensity and determination.
Well done to Lily, Zoe and Renee for their professionalism in umpiring the grand finals. Thank you also to the coaches and managers for their guidance and encouragement during the season. And last, but not least, congratulations to all our players for their outstanding season representing Radford netball!
