Koonung players at WNBL grand final

Derek Pangbourne — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:40:56 +0000

It was great to see so many Koonung players with their parents at the WNBL grand final between Bulleen Boomers and Canberra Capitals today. Everyone who went to the game were treated to one of the closest and most exciting games of the season. Just when the Boomers appeared to be over the line in the last quarter, the Capitals put a magnificent final three minutes to snatch the championship trophy by 5 minutes.

Again we congratulate former Comets player Lauren Jeffers who, despite not getting on the court, was able to have the opportunity to be part of a successful Boomers camp in her first year of WNBL. This is the second consecutive year the Boomers have received the runners-up trophy so hopefully Lauren will have the opportunity again next year to work towards being premiers!
