Gippsland Sports Academy awards

Ms BATH (Eastern Victoria) (10:31): I had the wonderful opportunity last Friday night to visit and sit in with the Gippsland Sports Academy awards to celebrate all things sport and the people who make it possible. Judi Buhagiar won the Phil Shelley Award for her massive contribution to netball. The David Drane Award, which was for consistent improvement in a young sportsperson, went to Alexandra Luders in tennis. The Darrell White Award went to Mackenna Whiteside for her achievements in team sport, in netball. The Rising Star Award went to Chelsea Beechey in clay target shooting. She comes from Bairnsdale, and she is a fantastic shooter with an outstanding track record. Her star will go high.
