A big thank you to everyone for there efforts over the 4 games and am sure will be looking for a batter effort in 2026.
The most Valuable womens player was Donna Weller, who won 3 out of the 4 matches she played in. Donna was a presented wing the Peter Roughana medal by last years winner Ellen Zeunert. Congratulations Donna on a great effort.
