The Tocumwal Bloods junior netballers had an exciting weekend with a great round of games on Saturday against Picola United, then a trip to Melbourne on Sunday.
The club and generous sponsors arranged for the juniors to travel to Melbourne by bus on Sunday to watch the Melbourne Vixens play against the NSW Swifts.
The group stopped at Nagambie for an early lunch before travelling through to John Cain Arena.
To sweeten the day, the Vixens even came out victorious with a 20-goal win.
After stopping at Wallan for dinner, the bus delivered the group back to Tocumwal at 9pm.
The girls all had an incredible day and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

On Monday, June 17, Tocumwal Public School students in years 4, 5 and 6 travelled to Deniliquin to play AFL in a gala style footy day, competing in the NSWPSSA Tony Lockett Shield.
The students played their first game against Deniliquin South Public School and had a great win.
They then moved into the winners’ final where they played Finley Public School, and they came out victorious once again by winning the game 40 points to 0.
They will now progress onto round three where they will play Deniliquin North Public School before the end of the term.
Well done and best of luck on the next round.
