1985 NETBALL REPORT The 1985 Winter Fixture season began a week after the inaugural B.G.G .S. Netball Camp at Pioneer Park, Tweed Heads. The camp was designed to improve our standard of play before our first game against St Margarets, and to allow all girls from Grade 8 to the A Grade to get to know one another. This venture was very successful in both ways and hopefully it shall continue in the future, especially the three kilometre jogs!! Our first game against St. Mar~aret' s proved how motivating the camp had been, but unfortunately a week later, our lack of match-play shone through when we clashed with St Peters'. However, our later games against St Hilda's, Ipswich Grammar, Clayfield College, St Aidan's, and Moreton Bay College, proved to be successful! overall. Our last two games proved to be the most competitive. Sommerville House produced some unexpected wins, whilst State High battled with the A Grade t come out just on top. B Grade clashed with State High in a premiership deciding match, and gained the premiership with a one goal margin. Other results are as follows-
