Wyndham’s walking netballers unexpectedly found themselves performing before stardom during a weekly game recently.
Australian singer, songwriter and actress, Casey Donovan was in the crowd at Eagles Stadium in Werribee watching a Thursday night match earlier this month.
Wyndham Netball Association president Phil Morely said while they couldn’t talk the former Australian Idol winner into putting on a bib, she appeared to enjoy herself.
“Casey didn’t go on the court but she was an enthusiastic supporter; laughing and cheering with the Walking Netballers in their weekly game.”
Donovan was at the stadium to support a friend who was playing and was happy to pose for photographs afterwards.
2023 marks the 2 years since Donovan shot to stardom by winning the second series of the hugely popular reality TV singing competition, Australian Idol.
Donovan won the competition by popular vote, defeating Werribee’s Anothony Callea in the nationally televised final.
Since then Donovan has achieved success as a recording artist, theatre performer, actress and television host and in 2017 won her second major reality TV competition, the third series of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.
Walking netball is held at 8:00pm every Thursday night during school terms at Eagle Stadium in Werribee.
The program aims to increase physical health, mental health, and social connections for members of the community who want to continue their love of netball without the hustle and bustle of a full-on competition.
