Irymple netballers turn things around with the motto . . . aim high

Sunraysia Daily

PERSONNEL changes and a deep well of talent at the club has helped spark Irymple’s resurgence in A Grade netball this season.

Minor premiers Irymple enter the second semi-final clash with South Mildura on Saturday on the back of seven consecutive wins – an unbeaten run that began after the last meeting between the sides.

It has been a remarkable turnaround for Irymple this season, rising from eighth with just three wins last year to top of the ladder with 12 wins.

“At the start of the season there were quite a lot of teams, including us, with lots of changes in their teams,” coach Rachelle Hollingworth said.
