Diggers Rest brace for long battle through finals from sixth
TARA MURRAY - Star Weekly
It was a nervous few minutes for Diggers Rest after its final Riddell District Netball League match of the regular season on Saturday.
Having beaten Sunbury Kangaroos, which they needed to do, the Burras had to wait for the results of the Lancefield versus Romsey game to know whether they had made it to finals.
The news came through not long after the game had finished – the Redbacks defeating the Tigers by one goal – which meant the Burras would finish in sixth, and the last, finals spot.
Burras’ coach Amy Carroll said everyone was relieved to have made the finals.
“It’s amazing,” she said. “Everyone was very happy and excited after yesterday.
“It was a nervous few moments, and a few of the girls knew players from both teams, so they were on the phones straight away. It was a big relief.
“It’s nice to play finals, and the game that we won against Macedon proved to be vital.”
