Drouin make the final of Netball Victoria League Club Challenge

The State Hockey & Netball Centre played host to the Netball Victoria League Club Challenge where TRFM Gippsland League's 2016 A Grade premiers Drouin Hawks made it all the way into the final of the inaugural event. The Netball Victoria League Club Challenge was introduced in 2017 and saw 2016 A Grade Football Netball League Premiers from around State invited to compete in a round robin tournament to ultimately crown the Best League Club in Victoria.

It is the first time Netball Victoria has created a new competition with Clubs as a focus. Traditionally all Netball Victoria competitions have been for Leagues, Associations, Regions – the higher levels in the netball pathway.

After a loss in their first match, Drouin bounced back to end day one in fifth position with four wins from their six games. A strong showing on day two saw the 2016 TRFM Gippsland League A Grade premiers win three straight matches to qualify for the semifinals.

After a loss in round five on day one to Diamond Creek, Drouin managed to turn around the result with a 24-18 semifinal victory to set up a clash with the undefeated Kangaroo Flat side. After a big loss in their first match of the tournament against the Bendigo FNL outfit the Hawks managed to take the final down to the wire, eventually falling just short 20-22.
