A-grade players Rhiannon Maxwell, Chloe Way, Ella Harvey and Annie Harvey played in the open team, and Ava Marshall played in the under-13s Murray League team.
Hampden Netball League were premiers in the under-13s and Goulburn Valley League were overall champions in the opens.
The Murray League’s open side finished sixth overall, with two wins and the under-13s finished eighth.
Despite both teams coming home without overall wins, Rams netball coordinator Meagan Rodda said it was a wonderful experience for all involved.
“The girls were competing against some really tough competition, against leagues that are much larger than ours,” Rodda said.
“It was a great opportunity for all the girls, but particularly for the juniors.
“Playing at this level forms a potential pathway for the younger girls especially, and a bigger chance of them being noticed by talent scouts.”
