Opening the netball club doors to lyndoch oval 😆
saloon doors in the kitchen
That's the sound of the knees of an old netballer as she gets out of bed in the morning.
Big moment for these two 👊
Hunter Wigzell & Riley Ansell pull on the A Grade guernsey for the first time this weekend 🔴🔵
Hunter has worked his way into the side after solid efforts across the first two rounds in the reserves, proving himself at every chance. Riley has earned his opportunity through strong performances in the U17.5s while consistently training with the senior group, showing he’s ready for the step up.
Nothing given, everything earned.
Back them in 💥 #Bulldogs ... See MoreSee Less
