The Sparrows flew high for Warrandyte Netball Club on grand final day, defeating Donvale 21-18 to claim the Under-13 premiership in the 2002 Spring season.
It was a strong season for the club, with 18 teams and around 160 girls competing from Under-11 to Open age at the Doncaster and Templestowe Leisure Centre in Templestowe. Seven teams reached the finals and three made their grand finals, with Mandy Ratcliffe’s Sparrows the ones to go all the way.
The Under-13 Rosefellas and Under-17 Finches both finished as runners-up, with the Finches going down by a single heartbreaking goal, 21-22.
