JIKA REPORT 2003

2003 saw the inclusion of the 15/under at the state regional championships.
Each region was only allowed to enter 4 of the 5 age groups. Jika decided to
go with our usual ages, which included 17/under, 19/under, open and
masters. It was only after a lack of interest from the masters that we took on
the very difficult task of sorting through the 100 very eager 15/under’s. The
championships were contested in Shepparton, with our four teams all finishing
middle of the field.

Jika’ s annual tournament for the third year in a row was held at Diamond
Creek, this year saw a record number of entries - 43 in total. This was a very
successful day, we received a huge amount of positive feedback. A huge
thanks goes to Helen Hansen, Sue Taylor, Barb Prestigiacomo and all others
who helped to make the day run smoothly.

Finally, 2003 saw Jika’s state commissioner Beverly Littlechild nominate
Roger Pike for a Netball Victoria Distinction Award. It was great to see Roger
win this award and gain the recognition deserved for all the time and effort he
has put in over a number of years. CONRATULATIONS ROGER!!!!!!
