Narrogin DNA takes three teams to WA Netball Association Championships, under-16 girls make grand final
Narrogin and Districts Netball Association sent three teams to the Fuel to Go & Play Association Championships over the WA Day long weekend, with the under-16 team making it through to the grand final. More than 300 teams representing 48 associations travelled from across the State to compete, with 46 divisions representing 13 metropolitan associations, 35 regional and 17 invitational teams from Singapore. NDNA's under-16 team was undefeated until the final round, with an undefeated Margaret River taking the win ahead of the grand final. Denmark put up a good fight in the first round, but Narrogin pushed through to take the win on a slim four-point margin at 19-15. Big wins against Eaton and Joondalup followed, but the team had to fight hard again in round five as Busselton threatened to overturn their winning streak. However, Narrogin fought them off through the whole game, staying one step ahead and taking the win at 20-19. The team notched another win over Port Hedland in round six, before facing top side Margaret River in the final round, where they had their first loss of the competition. The two teams faced off again in the grand final game, with Narrogin fighting hard but coming off second best with a five-goal loss to end their campaign as runners-up. The under-14 team fought against a competitive field, and started the first round of the weekend with a close game against Joondalup where they trailed by only two goals at the final whistle. Despite best efforts, the Narrogin girls couldn't stand up to the might of the division's top sides over the next three rounds, going down to Margaret River, Swan Districts and Bridgetown. They found their feet again in round six against Denmark, but couldn't quite turn the scoreboard their way and Denmark took the win at 22-19. Narrogin's weekend ended in round seven, with Swan Districts going on to defeat Rockingham and Districts in the grand final 21-7. The under-12 team played hard and kept their heads held high despite big early losses, playing through to round seven to proudly represent their association.

South African veteran Jordy Smith and new world No.1 Gabriela Bryan take Margaret River Pro titles as Aussie Isabella Nicholls wins new car
The final two events on the WTC Australian swing failed to deliver a local winner after South African veteran Jordy Smith and new world No.1 Gabriela Bryan took out the men's and women's events at Margaret River. But Bells Beach champ Isabella Nichols flew the Aussie flag after taking out the Aussie Treble, which was awarded to the best surfer over the three Australian events, including Bells and the Gold Coast Pro. Bryan proved a destroyer of local hopes on her way to her second title of the year, ending Sally Fitzgibbons' season on Monday before the 23-year-old Hawaiian defended the title she won last year by taking down reigning world champ Caitlin Simmers in a dominant final display. 'I'm honestly speechless, I don't know what to think,' Bryan said after her win. 'I've just been surfing how I want to surf and I just can't believe it.' Smith, in his 18th season on tour, then scorched enigmatic American star Griffin Colapinto to secure only his eighth tour win, but his second in 2025, after ending an eight-year drought in El Salvador. He'll take the No.1 ranking to the next event in California next month. There were no Aussies in either final in Western Australia, the first time in the three Australian events. Nichols and Jack Robinson won at Bells, while Fitzgibbons and comeback star Julian Wilson lost finals on the Gold Coast. The effort of Nichols to secure one title, while making quarter-finals on the Gold Coast and again at Margaret River, helped secure her fourth spot on the world rankings and the Aussie Treble, which came with a new car. Nichols, Molly Picklum and Tyler Wright were the only Australian women to make the mid-season cut and will contest the rest of the season in their bid for the world title. Ethan Ewing, Robinson and Joel Vaughan made the men's cut, with four more events before the finals in Fiji in August.
