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.

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.
