Netball NSW president Wendy ­Archer AM congratulated every ­player, coach, umpire and official who, she said, had helped to make the ­tournament such a runaway success.

“The standard of netball across all the age groups was top-shelf,” Ms Archer said.

“This event doesn’t just happen; it is a long time in the planning.

“There are a huge number of volunteers that give up a lot of their time to make sure everything runs smoothly.

“We look forward to seeing everyone again next year.”

The 2015 Netball NSW State Championships will be held on the NSW south coast from Saturday, June 6, to Monday, June 8.
