The State League has spent the last weekend preparing for season 2010. All squad members attended the camp held at Normanville. Friday night was spent inside using their "grey matter". They participated in team bonding and getting to know you challenges. The squad also finalised their "team rules" for the season ahead.

Saturday was a more physical day with a 3 hour hike, a soccer game, pool recovery sessions and finally an orienteering course.

The girls then headed back to Adelaide for an early start Sunday morning at the Netball SA Netty 20 tournament. Some valuable court time was had by all while also enjoying the rolling substitutions and 2 point attempts. One downer was the knee injury sustained by Jacinta Lycett, who we hope to see back on the court in 8 weeks time.

Congratulations are in order for two ETSA Contax Coaches.

Our State League Coach, Tania Obst has been named the South Australian 19 & Under Coach for 2010, and Sheree Lewis, this year’s Junior 1 Premiership Coach has been named the South Australian 17 & Under Coach for 2010. We wish these two coaches all the best for the Nationals being held in Adelaide in April in 2010.

Many people who come and go, during their time, make significant contributions to make our Club what it is today. Last Friday evening, at the Club's annual Presentation Dinner, we recognised a stalwart who has dedicated herself to the success of the Club for over 50 years.

Pauline Fielden is a past player, past President, past umpire, current 'super' coach, current team coordinator, avid and extremely loyal hard worker and supporter of ETSA Contax.

She has seen the club uniform develop from the old box pleat one-piece uniform to the pleated fawn skirt, to the pale blue pleated skirt and the lycra bodysuit - still the best around!

This Club is a passion of Pauline's, something she holds very near and dear to her heart. Pauline, you too are near and dear to the heart of everyone who knows this Club and how it operates.

Congratulations Pauline and thank you for your dedication, hard work, guidance, support and loyalty over the past 50 years. You are an inspiration to your Club, your family and your friends. We are all very proud to know you and to be able to acknowledge your extraordinary contribution!

Congratulations to Health & Life Oakdale on winning the 2009 Subway Cup Premiership, the club's first premiership in the State's Premier Netball Competition. A highly focussed Oakdale outfit last night took the 2009 title with a decisive win over the ETSA Contax defending premiers. Earlier in the evening, Adelaide Cougars held off the strong-finishing Cheerio Eagles to win the Reserves Premiership, also their first at this level. ETSA Contax congratulates both successful teams and looks forward to the 2010 season.

Good luck to the ETSA Contax girls as they defend their Subway Cup title in the Grand Final of South Australia's premier netball competition tonight. ETSA Contax will be defending their title against Health & Life Oakdale who are playing in their first Grand Final at this level.

Best Wishes girls and we look forward to a memorable encounter!

ETSA Contax are proud to have been appointed ambassadors for the Healthy Living programme being delivered to remote communities by the Royal Flying Doctor Service. The programme will see members of the ETSA Contax State League squad accompanying RFDS medical personnel to remote and indigenous communities. There they will assist in the promotion of the Healthy Living message about the benefits of better dietary and exercise habits. Our players will join other elite athletes, including Adelaide Crows footballer Brett "Birdman" Burton, in fostering the involvement of people living in the remote areas of the State.

ETSA Contax look forward to developing a strong and long-lasting relationship with RFDS and view our involvement as a logical extension of the relationship we have developed with the indigenous community of Mimili in the far north of the State.

ETSA Contax are very proud of our players and coach who represented South Australia at the 17 & Under Nationals in Canberra last week.

At the end of the tournament Madeleine Proud and Kate Shimmin were named in the Australian Talent Identification Squad.

Kate Shimmin won the inaugural 17/U San Remo Most Valuable Player award.

Our hearty congratulations to SPRING GULLY NEWTON JAGUARS for their historic first Premiership at State League Level. Their gritty 2 goal win over the ETSA CONTAX team on Saturday evening has been the culmination of a lot of hard work by the Management, Coaching and Playing personnel at SPRING GULLY NEWTON JAGUARS and we commend the giant step that they, as a Club, have taken. We look forward with great anticipation to the challenge of wresting the Premier's Cup from them in 2008! Congratulations also to Jaime McKinnon on winning the Margaret Angove Award for being the Best Player in the Grand Final. Unfortunatley, the result was a disappointing end for the great playing career of the ETSA CONTAX Club Captain, Leanne Eichler.

The day was a great success with a number of our sponsors taking the opportunity to display their wares and services to the wider netball community. Our Club Day Barbecue, one of our major fund-raising ventures for the year was very successful due, in no small way, to the valued support from our suppliers, Blue Ribbon Smallgoods, Sunrise Eggs, Skala Bakery and Supreme Sausages. A steady stream of Club Volunteers came forward to assist with the preparation and serving of the fare on offer.
