Osborne wins undefeated netball premiership with aunt and nieces on court
Osborne's Tigers won the A-grade netball grand final 43-34 with a perfect season, with family members playing together.
Osborne defeated Jindera at Walbundrie on Saturday. They completed an undefeated 2026 season.
Defender Sara Schneider came out of retirement to play with her nieces after nearly four years away. She had retired in 2022 after Osborne won that title.
But she could not resist sharing this moment with Sophie and Isabel Edmunds. Centre Georgia O'Connell was named best on court.
Schneider's sister Tamara supported from the sidelines as statistician. Osborne's new coach Sarah Hillier delivered the title in her first season at the club.
