Two sisters have coached two Warrandyte Netball Club teams to premierships.
The Winter Doncaster and District Netball Association Grand Finals, held in August 2006, resulted in premierships for two Under 15 teams.
The coaches for the two successful teams were Warrandyte’s Dusting sisters, Nat and Amie.
Nat Dusting, a previous Warrandyte Netball Club Person of the Year, continued her finals success, coaching the Under 15/1 Magpies to a further premiership. Amie Dusting, a Warrandyte High School student, coached the Under 15/2 Rosellas to their first premiership.
The Under 15/1 Magpies, who were undefeated during the season, beat the Koonung Meteors 32-27.
The Under 15/2 Rosellas finished second on the ladder for Section 2 at season’s end. They defeated minor premiers Deep Creek Gems in a nail-biting finish, with a score of 24-23.
Nat and Amie’s younger sister Jess also participated in a Grand Final as a player in the Under 13/1 Brumbies team. The Brumbies, coached by Teresa Knott, were runners-up to the East Doncaster Hot Shots. The Brumbies team is: Claudia Bowers, Montana Cox, Jess Dusting, Helena Dwyer, Brigitte Freemantle, Georgette McKeough, Melissa Moritz and Gabby Ryan.
Warrandyte will again field teams in all age groups in the spring netball season, from late August to November, at the Templestowe Leisure Centre. Enquiries: Club President Lesley Reid.
