Five out of six for Hawks

Glen Orden claimed another two premierships to make it five in the space of eight days in the Western Netball League.

Having had all six of their teams this season make grand finals, the Hawks won three out of four in the first week of grand finals.

On Friday night, the Hawks claimed the division 1 and division 2 titles to cap off the season.

The first match of the night was the division 2 grand final against Yarraville Seddon.

The match was a thriller with it going down to the final shot of the game.

Scores were level heading into the last 30 seconds of the game.

The Eagles had the ball and took a shot to take the lead, which missed.

The ball quickly went down the other end, with the Hawks being awarded a penalty. The shot was converted after the siren to give the Hawks a 35-34 win.

The division 1 season then finished off the season in the grand final against Spotswood.

The Hawks were able to get out to a lead which they held for much of the match.

It would be a match winning one, taking the premiership 37-32.

Manawa Aranui was named best on court.

Speaking after the win, Hawks coach Rebecca Hicks said the competition had continued to grow each year.

“To Spotty, it’s been a hard fought contest every game that we’ve played you guys and you guys just get better and better every time.

“To my girls, well done. It’s been a hard season, we didn’t start very well, so to get to where we are now.”
