00:00 I'm joined by Niranda's Beck Young and Maddy Hunger. Maddy, Coach, Beck, best on court today.

00:06 Niranda's A-reserve premiership. Congratulations guys, you must be happy.

00:11 Oh, absolutely wrapped. It's been a few seasons coming to be honest.

00:16 The group's sort of stuck together for the past three years or so and it's just really good to finally put it to finish I guess,

00:24 a little bit and get the job, the final job done. So really, really proud of the group.

00:28 How close have you come in the past season?

00:31 Well, last season when we had the first full season back after COVID, we actually drew with Miraval in every game that we played them,

00:37 including the preliminary final and then lost after the siren by a penalty shot.

00:42 And then this year, it's sort of been a little bit more. We've had one win and one loss, both by about the same margin.

00:50 So to put a full performance in today and get the job done on the day that matters, yeah, it means a lot.

00:57 What do you reckon you guys did well today?

01:00 I think honestly that what won us the game was our friendship with each other.

01:04 Yeah, we've really tried to be a really strong unit and place a lot of emphasis on friendship and bringing the group together this year.

01:12 And I think that's what done it for us at the end of the day.

01:15 Everyone kept their cool and put trust in each other and we got the job done.

01:19 You could see a visible on-court connection between everyone.

01:22 Yeah, we're really wrapped with the group, really wrapped.

01:26 And Beth, must be happy with your performance?

01:29 I'm honestly so shocked. I had one job and that was to get the goals in.

01:34 I mean, you can't win a game without goals. So that's all I wanted to do.

01:38 And we're very proud of her. We're so wrapped with her.

01:41 Probably the most important job of the year.

01:43 100% So I'm very, very thrilled.

01:46 Congratulations. Enjoy.

01:47 Thank you very much.

01:48 Thank you.
