Anakie Football and Netball Club

Ella GEORGE (Lara) (13:21): Last Friday I was excited to join the federal member for Corio Richard Marles and the City of Greater Geelong to open the brand new netball courts at Anakie Reserve. Along with the new court, there are lights and player shelters. This project was completed with funding from all three tiers of government and would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of Heath Menhennet, the president of the Anakie Roos, and his dedicated group of volunteers. This project will cater for the growing number of netballers in the local community who are taking up the sport they love and will also benefit the entire Anakie community, who can get down to the club and enjoy the new courts. Well done to all involved. While I was there I also had the pleasure of meeting Leroy, the latest addition to the Trotter family and new club mascot. Thanks, Leroy, for the pats.
