Division 1 Fixture Available For Download |

The Northern Football League has
now released the Division 1 2012 Fixture. First up the
Whittlesea Eagles venture to the Bill Lawry Oval to take
on Northcote Park in what should be a fantastic season
opener. Then the following week the Eagles return to the
nest to take on the 2011 Premiers in Bundoora which will
certainly be a great test for the young Eagles and will
give them an idea where they are at for the remainder of
the year. |

Netball
Girls Gallant In Defeat |
|
 |
The Whittlesea Eagles Netball girls
played off in the 2011 Grand Final against Mernda. The
game was played in such a high standard that it was a
pleasure to be there as a spectator. For almost the
entire game, it was goal for goal and at 3/4 time we
trailed by only 1 goal and looked like we may be in with
a chance. In the final quarter, the pressure was
extreme, both teams wanted to win and you could see the
desperation from both club's. I noticed the girls coach
Bob Hudson was riding every pass and goal that was
happening on the court and believe if he had a spare
outfit, he would have taken the court himself. In the
end, Mernda who was the stronger team all year managed
to hang on by 3 goals, 25 to 22 in what was a
magnificent game and full credit to the entire team
represented the club superbly. Next season you will go
that one better... |
