Netball: Festival title to Columba

The Columba College junior A netball side has returned victorious from the International Netball Festival on the Gold Coast.

The under-15 side won eight of its nine pool matches during the three-day tournament late last month, before winning its semi-final 32-31 and final 21-19.

The final was played against West Australian side Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School A, which beat the Columba side in pool play.

Coach Nikki Stumbles said the side showed great determination to win the tournament in hot and often windy conditions.

Madison Williams and Charlotte Wheeler were named the team's joint most valued players.

The school's senior A side finished fifth in the under-18 section of the tournament, after winning seven of its nine matches.
