Herbert River Netball Shine At Townsville Carnival

Three Herbert River netball teams recently travelled to Townsville to compete in the annual McDonald’s Netball Carnival, returning home with some outstanding results.

The Herbert River Halos secured first place in the Under 12 Division 7 competition, while Herbert River Havoc finished runners-up in the Under 15 Division 7. Synergy also enjoyed success, taking out third place in the Under 15 Division 5.

Adding to the celebrations, Chloe Kopeshke from Synergy was recognised with the prestigious Most Valuable Player award for her team’s division.

Meanwhile, the local netball season is set to conclude with the Grand Final and Presentation Night on Friday, the 5th of September. The evening will begin at 5:15pm and promises to be a true celebration of community spirit. Spectators are encouraged to come along, enjoy a barbecue dinner and refreshments from the bar, and support the teams as they contest the season’s top honours.
