Hurtle Vale Sporting Clubs

Ms COOK (Hurtle Vale) (15:37): Today, I would like to speak to and place on record some of the successes of the various sporting clubs in the electorate of Hurtle Vale and congratulate them all on a fantastic season. Local sports certainly keep the community connected and very busy during the cold winter months. I take great pleasure in attending as many games as I can, working on barbecues and in canteens, and also getting to as many presentations as I am able to. It has been a very busy and successful winter sports season in Hurtle Vale.

Onkaparinga Rugby Union Football Club celebrated its 50th anniversary this year and held some very successful events celebrating that. Congratulations go to the Onkaparinga premier reserve division for winning the 2018 grand final, the under-14s and under-16s for making their grand finals and, in fact, all junior teams for making finals, along with their first, second and third grade teams. Huge congratulations go to the club on hosting the grand final day in their 50th anniversary year. This was attended by around 3,500 happy spectators. All in attendance were really well catered for and it had a great feel that day at the club.

The Southern Tigers Basketball Association have been playing in Morphett Vale since moving there from Glenelg some 45 years ago. They also have had another successful season this year, with huge congratulations to the 2018 premier league men on winning their finals, defeating the Forestville Eagles 70-64. Congratulations also to these following teams on making grand finals for the Tigers: the under-23 division 1 men, the senior division 1 men, the under-23 division 1 women, the senior division 4 men, the senior division 2 women, the senior division 2 men, the under-12 division 2 girls, the under-16 division 1 boys, the under-10 division 2 girls, the under-14 division 3 boys, the under-10 division 1 girls and the under-10 division 2 boys. It is a very successful club.

As for netball, most games were played at the Southern United Netball courts or in the Southern Hills competition. Congratulations to both the under-13 team 1 and team 4 of the Ladybirds Netball Club on winning their grand finals, and the Inters White team, who also won. The Hub Netball Club, actually located in Reynella not the hub itself, are the A-grade premiers. This year was very tough for the club, with their coach, Bronte, losing her son during the season, so it was really nice to see the club reward her with such good play and winning that gland final. Congratulations to the under-11s on making the grand final as well.

Congratulations also go to the Morphett Vale 'Magic' Netball Club and its under-13 teams and Inters 1 on making grand finals. The Pulse Netball Club is a fledgling club, but it is improving its participation numbers every year. This year saw the club field Inters for the very first time. Congratulations on a wonderful season. All teams made finals, and the top seniors team came away with the A-grade premiership, so that is a real feat.

Also, congratulations to the Southern Stars Netball Club, which I think had five or six teams in the grand finals this year. Clarendon, the Dons, is a huge netball club, with nearly 200 players playing out of very small grounds down at Clarendon. It had four premiership teams this year: the senior A1s, the Inter 1 blacks, the senior B1s and the Inter 2 blacks, with five other teams making it to grand finals but being runners up on the day, including Inter 1 purples, Inter 2 purples, Inter 3, Inter 4 black and 13 and under division 2.

The women had a great season at the Noarlunga United Soccer Club, with the under-13 girls finishing runners up and the under-15 girls winning. The Morphett Vale Football Club is rebuilding, but it saw its senior women in the grand final but not able to get over the line, and the Hackham Football Club and its Sunday A-grade (also known as the C-grade) finished runners up in their grand final.

Congratulations to the Reynella footy club (the Winies), with the under-13s and A-grades making it into the grand final. The under-13s became undefeated premiers, and also congratulations to Dave Denyer and Michelle Rice, who got their women into the game this year. The Happy Valley footy club is in a rebuilding phase, but their women's division 3 premiers against Gaza was a huge success. I loved the competition with Dana Wortley, the member for Torrens. We went out to three of their games, and I hope that the rivalry continues with Happy Valley remaining premiers.
