Fun in the Sun Tournament – June 4, 2011
October 24, 2011
Thanks to everyone who helped make our annual Fun in the Sun Tournament a success. While we were only able to enter one San Diego team, we had 6 visiting teams (Phoenix Heat, NY MINC, 2 LA Waves teams, Comets and SF) so it was a very full day of netball!
United held their own with 3 wins against Heat, Waves 2 and Comets. Claire made an awesome comeback after the birth of her son Jack, with some phenomenal shooting as GA throughout the morning. Celia, Karen G.P, Kate W and Tanya helped fill in the rest of the shooting throughout the day. Kerrin’s delayed trip home to Australia was definitely our gain with her presence as GD for the morning games. Elaine and Cath shared C for the day. The other center court positions were well covered by Justine, Kate D, Kate W, Riz, Alison and Barb. Afternoon saw a switch up of positions as not everyone could stay for the whole day. Thanks to Dave and Celia for taking on GD and Heather stepping up to play GK.
Congratulations to Elaine for being our MVP for the day. You certainly deserved it with a very energizer bunny like performance! Even though you’ve only been part of the club for a couple of months we’ll be sorry to see you return to Singapore at the end of the month. You’re always welcome back!
We missed Steph due to an ankle injury from last week’s training and unfortunately Riz went home injured aswell. Fractured ankle. Best wishes to both of you for a quick recovery!
Thanks to Sharon, Alison, Kerrin, Elaine and Karen G.P. for umpiring throughout the day. They also provided umpiring duties for Phoenix Heat and MINC so one of them was umpiring almost every match of the day! Thank you!
Thanks to all the other clubs who travelled to San Diego and participated in our tournament. Congratulations to Waves 1 for their win and MINC with a close 2nd place finish. All in all a great day of netball!
