The Cats&#8217; Abby Lambert was best on court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Gisborne Giants set the ball rolling with a historic 38-21 victory over Romsey in D-grade. Zoe Kucic (GG) was best on court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Riddell League netball manager Grace Bibby thanked all who had made the season a big success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We know it has been challenging at times, but the positives far outweigh the negatives,&#8221; Bibby stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Netball-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"20969\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Netball-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/midlandexpress.com.au\/netball-1-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-20969\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Netball-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Netball-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Netball-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Netball-1-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Riddell&#8217;s 19 and Under netball premiership side.
