Grand Final Victories
Congratulations to CSTA Women's (now called CSTA Sparkle Motion) for their 6-1 victory over the nasty WDTA Women.

I was extremely disappointed by the unsportsmanlike behaviour of some of the WDTA women on Monday night. Even after having almost a week to think about it, the one incident that still stands out in my mind (partly I guess because it was right in front of me) was the woman stepping onto the field to block Maddie's full-field run. Regardless of the fact that there was another player who was catching Maddie, behaviour like this has no place in our game. I understand that the referee didn't see how blatant it was, but I would have (if I was refereeing) sent that player for a period of time. It was totally not in the spirit of competition.

Also, congratulations to all other Scorps players who won Grand Finals this (or, indeed, last) week. And congratulations to all those players who won divisional best & fairest: Jo Fell comes to mind.
