GOULBURN Valley Grammar School’s (GVGS) Intermediate Girls Netball Team took out top spot at the Intermediate School Girls Championship recently, going up against Melton Secondary College and securing the win by just one goal.

Held at the State Netball and Hockey Centre in Melbourne on September 4 the GVGS team were undefeated in their pool, winning their first final to get into the Grand Final. It was a close match with scores level at the end of the game, forcing the two teams to battle it out in two three minute halves of extra time. Being down by one goal, the GVGS girls were able to take the lead by one goal just before the siren sounded, with the opposition making a last ditch effort on the siren, attempting to level the scores but missing leaving the Grammar girls walking away as victors.
