❤️💙 2026 GO & PRIMARY PRESENTATIONS 💙❤️
What a wonderful way to celebrate a fantastic 2026 winter netball season!

The girls enjoyed receiving their trophies, sharing dinner together and then hitting the dance floor for a disco to finish off the night! 🏆🍕🪩💃
A huge congratulations to all of our young players on a wonderful season. We are so proud of the enthusiasm, courage and determination you have shown throughout the year. We hope you have had lots of fun, made some special friendships and created plenty of wonderful memories along the way.
A very special thank you to our coaches, who have guided, encouraged and supported our young players throughout the season. Your time, patience and commitment to helping our youngest Bulldogs learn and develop is greatly appreciated. ❤️💙

Betty the Bulldog was out and about soaking up the atmosphere, showing off her best mascot moves and making sure our final home game had plenty of Bulldog spirit!
She loved seeing our players, families and supporters out on the sidelines and helping us celebrate another fantastic season at home.
