Our BDNC Wohlers Wonder Woman of the Week for Round 1 is… Cassie Mattingly! 💫
Congratulations, Cassie!
Cassie has been instrumental in getting BDNC season-ready in her role as Records Officer, keeping everything running smoothly with registrations and club record management. A true spreadsheet queen, and Cassie is also a senior player and one of the coaches of our GO1 team, wearing many hats across the club.
Thank you for your dedication and hard work, Cassie — we’re so lucky to have you! 💙❤️🤍 ... See MoreSee Less

You're amazing Cassie, thanks for all your hard work! 💙❤️🤍
Cassie’s support of Megan has been extraordinary! She is the reason behind Megan’s BOG performance on the weekend! If it wasn’t for her megs would still be on the sideline!
Great work Cassie Mattingly!!
Not a more deserving person 🙌🙌🙌 congrats Cassie!
Yay Cassie l 💪🩷❤️
Well done Cass!! 💕
Well deserved
Congratulations 🎊
Ok so firstly, I’m pretty sure it should be illegal to take a photo for social media after a training session with no warning… I’ll be taking that motion to the next committee meeting 😅 Secondly, I’m feeling incredibly grateful to have been named Wonder Woman of the Week 💙 This recognition truly belongs to the amazingly supportive committee members who I work alongside and the wonderful players who make it all worthwhile. I couldn’t do it without your support. Taking on a new role has definitely had its challenges—especially while juggling my kids across both netball and football, coaching, and still playing myself—but it just shows how much heart goes into keeping a club running. Clubs like ours simply don’t exist without dedicated volunteers, and I’m so proud to be part of such a supportive community with amazing sponsors like Wohlers 🤩
Well done Cassie!!
Wahooooo .. go Cassie xx
Well done Cassie Mattingly

A great day for Barossa District Netball Club at Tanunda yesterday as we came together to commemorate ANZAC Day.
It was fantastic to see strong performances across both our Senior and Junior teams, with some great wins on the board.
We also extend our congratulations to Meg Mosey on being awarded the Esther Whitelum ANZAC Day Medal — a well-deserved achievement.
Go Doggies ❤️💙🤍 ... See MoreSee Less
