🏆 The Cameron Trophy for Service to Netball 🏆

Andrea Cullen

The Cameron Trophy for Service to Netball regonises someone who gives their time and energy to make netball happen for others.

Andrea has been doing exactly that for around 35 years.

This season, she managed both Team 8 and Team 11. Over the years, she has coached, managed, scored, played, filled in and taken on whatever job needed doing.

As Andrea puts it, “Just give me a job.”

And we know we can count on her to get it done.

Thank you Andrea, for the hours you give and the care you bring to every team you support. A very deserving recipient!

🏆 The Presidents Award 🏆

Pippa Edwards

For the courage Pippa showed through unimaginable adversity, and the resilience that allowed her to find her way back to the game.

🏆 Coach of the Year 🏆

Natalia Abbott

Natalia is the kind of coach who gives absolutely everything to her players. Her commitment is extraordinary, she has even changed flights to ensure she could be there for a game and this prize giving, and despite working incredibly demanding hours, she stepped up to coach not one, but two teams this season.

Natalia brought new skills, ideas and challenges to training every week, providing honest and constructive feedback while ensuring every player felt included and had the opportunity to succeed.

Her belief in her players helped Team 4 reach Premier 2 and finish third, an achievement many of them never imagined possible at the beginning of the season.

She also put her hand up to coach Team 8 and guided them through to finish third in their grade.

Natalia’s impact goes far beyond results.

The positive culture Natalia has created allows her players to rise above distractions, embrace the joy of the game and truly believe in themselves and one another.

She has helped them grow not only as netballers, but as people.

For her incredible dedication, selflessness and ability to bring out the very best in everyone around her, our Coach of the Year is Natalia Abbott.

🏆 Team of the Year 🏆

SR18 Development 3

Development 3 is a young team of ten committed players, most of whom were experiencing senior club netball for the first time this season.

Despite the demands of school, training and competing in the adult arena, they turned up every week with an amazing attitude and a genuine desire to learn.

The girls quickly gelled, developing wonderful friendships and a strong sense of team spirit that was reflected in the way they played.

Their teamwork, commitment and determination saw them reach the Senior 7 final, beating a team that had dropped down from Senior 6 to secure their place, and then go on to win their grade in their very first season!

They also won the Netball North Harbour Defensive Points Trophy for 40 min games which is huge!

Their contribution extended well beyond their own team. They stepped up time and time again to fill in for other Shore Rovers teams, always willing to help and never looking out of place on court.

Their coach describes them as an absolute pleasure to work with, and their growth in confidence, skill and maturity has been incredible to watch.

From a group of young players new to club netball to Senior 7 champions, Team 18 has shown exactly what can be achieved through commitment, friendship, hard work and playing for one another.

We are so excited to see where their netball journey takes them.

🏆 The Utting Family Trophy for Social Team of the Year 🏆

Team 6 Gold

This years winner were the only Shore Rovers social team to win their grade.

This team, led by the fabulous Rachel Foster, has an experienced line-up that shows how great a calm level-headed team can do, especially in the pouring rain after being inside for round one.

They were also lucky to have a consistently energetic sideline for all of their games, particularly the final.

This team has great committee representation, our Secretary (Rachel), Treasurer (Steph), Manager Liaison & Stats guru (Saskia), with our amazing photographer (Georgia) alongside wonderful new players and long term members giving back to the club.

🏆 The Leadership Trophy 🏆

Maisy Longbottom 💚

Maisy leads by example, both on and off the court.

Her tenacity, determination and hunger to win are unmistakable, she never gives up, constantly rallies the troops and knows how to bring out the very best in her teammates.

Her heart and soul go into her team through her motivating talks, high standards and dedication to every training session.

From the defensive end, she can be heard encouraging and directing her teammates, staying completely locked into the game for the full 60 minutes.

Her famous line, “Never dip,” became Team 2’s motto and perfectly describes the way Maisy approaches her netball.

Through a challenging start to the season, she kept pushing, lifted the team’s spirits and stood up when they needed a leader most.

Her resilience and belief helped guide Team 2 all the way to a huge victory, taking out the Premier 2 title.

For her passion, resilience and ability to inspire those around her, the recipient of our Leadership Trophy is Maisy.

🏆 Future Prem 1 Player 🏆

Chanel Catchpole 💚

Chanel has become an absolute star Team 4.

She is agile, has a lethal jump and is an absolute nightmare for any opposing attacking end.

She never gives up and can always be relied upon to produce an intercept when her team needs it most.

What makes Chanel particularly exciting is that she is not content to rely solely on her natural athleticism.

She is eager to learn, takes feedback incredibly well and puts in the work outside of training to develop the her game.
