The Talented Trio

Revesby Workers’ Netball Club had three (3) outstanding athletes recently competed in the Netball NSW HART Senior State Titles; Izzy McFarlane, Megan Hallowes and Lexi Dredge.

The HART Senior State Titles is a flagship event within the Netball NSW pathway. The 3-day tournament, held from 10-12 June 2023, showcases the strength of grassroots netball with players from all over the state coming together to play the game they love.

The road to playing in the State Titles has been a long and drawn-out process that has seen immense dedication to the sport from these young ladies.

All 3 girls successfully made representative teams in U12s, U13s and U14s, but unfortunately did not get the chance to play State Titles.

The Under 12s in 2020 was cancelled due to COVID-19. The Under 13s was delayed due to COVID-19 Lockdown the week before State Titles and then cancelled a few months later. The Under 14s in 2022 went ahead at Penrith. Day 1 was played in torrential rain. Days 2 and 3 were cancelled as Penrith and Surrounding areas all flooded.

Despite the numerous set-backs, these girls trained hard and stayed committed.

2023 saw them move into the Under 15s, which is the Senior Representative Platform. All 3 girls were selected into their respective teams and continued to train hard.

The June long weekend saw them travel north to the Maitland District Netball Association where other talented players from all over NSW would all come together and compete in the intra-state competition.

They played 19 games of Netball over 3 days. It was high quality Netball and Izzy, Megan and Lexi played with grit, determination and passion.

The State Titles showcase the best that netball has to offer at a community level and Revesby Workers’ Netball Club are lucky to have these ladies within the club and could not be prouder of their achievements.

These young ladies continue to play in the club’s top team on a Saturday. Lexi and Izzy are also coaching the youngest Workers’ Superstars (Under 8s) to hopefully inspire a new batch of Netball lovers and future representative players.

Continue to shine bright ladies.
