30 July 2020

Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) — I would like to take this opportunity wish the Coogee Netball Club all the very best for the upcoming season. After what must be the longest pre-season in the club's history, the teams will don the pink, white and black from Saturday, 25th of July as the competition gets under way. 2020 has been a year with precious little to celebrate, and so the return of community sport and especially of local netball is something that needs to be celebrated. I would especially like to thank all the volunteers who have contributed to the club this year. It would not have been easy to redesign every training session and club process to make it pandemic safe and so I wish to thank each and every volunteer for making this season possible. I would also like to make special mention of club President, Sharon Deans. Sharon's love of the game and of the club shines through in her actions and work ethic and so I thank her for steering the club through to the tough times as we look forward to better days ahead.
