Southerners ready for the 2011-12 Bangkok Netball season!

Welcome to all returning Southerners girls and of course to all of our new members joining Southerners Netball for the first time!

Monday 29th August will see the new BNL season get underway – our Southerners netballers are ready and awaiting some court time!

Over the past 10 years, Southerners have always played hard, had fun and continued to successfully dominate in the Bangkok Netball League – I believe this year won’t be any different with Southerners entering four teams!

The season will commence with two weeks of ‘Mix-in’ games, before moving into league games every Monday evening at NIST.

Upcoming dates/events

Southerners Netball training sessions – 7pm-8pm every Thursday evening during BNL season @ the NIST indoor courts.

For more information, email Jenny.

Southerners Netball Umpiring sessions – 7pm-8pm, Thursday 1st Sept & 8th Sept @ NIST – come along and learn in a supportive environment.

For more information, email Dee.

Southerners Netball Cocktail night – 7pm, Friday 2nd Sept @ Oskar Bar on Sukhumvit Soi 11 – come along to meet the Southerners netball crew!

Southerners SEA Netball Tournament – Saturday 21 May

The tournament has developed a solid reputation for high standard netball, with teams traveling in from Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Borneo year after year.

Singapore NZCC Wahines will be on a mission to retain the trophy so there should be some good competition and hustling on those courts!

Come watch some decent netball at the NIST courts and support our two Southerners netball teams in action!

Where: NIST International School
When: Saturday, 21 May, 9.30am – 3.00pm

AGM: Vaughan retires, new committee elected

After so much recent attention in the media about the toppling of Presidents by rebellious and disgruntled citizenry, it’s comforting to know at least one hasn’t been pushed off the perch under such fiery circumstances.

At the most recent club AGM, Vaughan McClear stepped down as President of the Southerners Sports Club after several years of sterling service.  During his time as President, Vaughan led the club to financial and sporting success, ensuring each section was supported on and off the field.  Vaughan typifies the true spirit of being a Southerner, and thankfully, he is only reeling back his responsibilities, still being involved as Club Treasurer and Cricket Representative.  Big Daddy Vaughan will no doubt now have more time to work on his young fella’s cover drive!!  Thanks to Vaughan for all he has done for the club as President.

Dana Piggott was subsequently elected as the Southerners’ first ever female President, following in the high-heeled footsteps of Lithuania’s Dalia Grybauskaite, Germany’s Angela Merkel and Brazil’s Dilma Rousseff.  As a matter of immediate importance, Dee announced a number of key social events this year, including the Southerners Race Day, Khao San Road Tour and Southerners Ball (19 Nov), as well as club-wide drinks on the first Friday of every month.

Elected – 2011 Southerners Sports Club Committee:

Dana Piggott – President
Mark Anderson – Vice President/Secretary
Vaughan McClear – Treasurer & Cricket Representative
Jenny Hall – Netball Representative
Darrel Lintott – Rugby Representative
Linda Belonje – Touch Rugby Representative
Siam Sattayaphan – Social Coordinator
Steve Bell – Website/Communications
Kara Dowson – General Committee Member
Patricio Alban – General Committee Member

Netball girls in Golden form

The Southerners Gold Netballers have been smashing it of late, with a strong run of winning form:

08/02: 24-9 against H&F (Best & Fairest: Alicia)
21/02: 41-18 against Shrewsbury (Best & Fairest: Alicia)
28/02: 33-30 against Tigers Black (Best & Fairest: Renee)
07/03: 47-3 against Tigers White (Best & Fairest: Kara)

The indomitable Carlene Whitten describes the recent win against Shrewsbury (pics from Renee Kieseker, Southerners in yellow bibs)…

After a long rock, paper, scissors battle with the Shrewsbury captain, we lost the win for centre pass – this was not the case for the rest of the game though. Although we were numerous players down, the seven of us battled hard and won convincingly with a final score of 41-18.

Big thanks to Kushia’s mum Barb for filling in and providing us with some excellent defending and shooting action. She can come and assist us next time the Mad Dogs forfeit…or whenever she wants to help us win!!

With the height advantage in the goal circle, Kushia showed us shorties how easy it is to get rebounds and goals in with great ease.

Congrats to Alicia who scored the Best on Ground (court – whatever!) chosen by the umpires. Her defense lead us to many steals from the opposition.

Emma had some great possessions of the ball and managed to do some really good intercepts.  Fran showed us her PE teacher prowess, with non-stop running around in centre and defense.  Even though there was only one Renee, she seemed to be all over the court when needed!

Last but not least, if you want to know, my ankle is fine, I didn’t roll it too bad, not swollen at all. Also, I think I may have shed a few kilos last night, I swear there was NO air conditioning on while we were playing!

A big high five to all. I had some compliments from the GD Katie, who said it was a very enjoyable and friendly game.

Titans battle: No clear winner

Some say the netball girls were too scared to score.   Others say a win against the rugby boys was a mere formality.  Either way, it was a hard-fought match, played in tremendous spirit and at an equally tremendous pace.  A great night, with a couple of cold ones afterward.  Here’s a few pictures of the proceedings…
