CVGT RISING STAR
GRACE LAUDER, SOUTH BENDIGO FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB
A quiet achiever on and off the netball court, South Bendigo’s goal shooting dynamo Grace Lauder is showing signs of soon becoming a regular senior player.
Grace joined the South Bendigo Football Netball Club in 2008 having completed her junior netball with the Falcons Netball Club. Achievements at junior level included three years as a member of the Bendigo Strathdale Netball Association representative squad as well as coaching a Falcons primary team.
Grace has been honing her skills on a Wednesday night in the Flora Hill netball competition playing with Cascades in Division One.
This season senior coach Justine Fitzgibbon recognised Grace’s potential and gave her the chance to play a couple of A Grade matches. It was an opportunity that Grace relished. During these games Grace became more confident in her positioning and goaling and this has assisted her when playing back in the 17/Under team.
Congratulations Grace on your CVGT Rising Star nomination.
