Netball

Established 1920

The Lightning had its most successful year to date with a new club record for wins and clean sweeps across all three teams, including a 13-game win streak for the 19&U team. The Club’s Championship side finished 4^th, losing in the semi-final, while the 19&U team became Premiers. The Club also had its Victorian Netball League license renewed for the next five years, where the competition will change to only two teams, Championship and 23&U.
