The netball teams first match of the season was away at Foster. A very close game where both teams keep possession of the ball well but couldn't find that all important scoring touch to win the game. The game finished in a 1-1 draw with plenty of positives to take from the game. 

Up next was another away match against last year finalist St Stephens. The first quarter was very one side with St Stephens 4-0 up inside 6 minutes. The game continued after the break with Upland growing into game and becoming more confident which lead to several dangerous attacks. The second and third quarters where very tight and the team manged to pull one goal back. St Stephens ran out 6-1 winners, but I was extremely proud of the teams determination to keep fighting.
