Castlemaine District Netball Association held their annual tournament on Sunday August 17 and saw the Wesley Hill Netball Complex a hive of activity.
The CDNA welcomed 36 teams from all over the region including eight CDNA Squad teams ranging from 11/Under through to Open.
A massive thank you to all the volunteers who made the day possible, the players, coaches and umpires.
After the tournament the CDNA also held its first inaugural boys only game. It was great to see so many young men having a good hit out on the court.
Results of the tournament were as follows:
11/Under Valley 11 def Kyabram 7.
13/Under Open NPNA 9 def Kyabram 7.
13/Under Reserves NPNA 12 def CDNA Purple 4.
15/Under Open NPNA 13 def Surf Coast 6.
15/Under Reserves NPNA2 13 def NPNA3 5.
17/Under CDNA 10 def NPNA 7.
Open Boroondara 13 def NPNA .4

The CDNA were proud to have nine squads hit the court.
After many years of trying the CDNA finally held their first male only game. Huge thanks to Jack Davidge and Carly Haddock for umpiring.
The CDNA’s 13/Under Purple Squad finished runners-up in a fantastic effort and are pictured with proud coach Lisa Farrugia.
The CDNA held its presentations after the event with Reagan Broad awarded the 15U Most Improved Award for 2025. Reagan is a quiet achiever who has worked hard at her game and confidence this season.
