State honours for Beth
Kyabram’s star netball player Norma Rowstone took Beth Hancock of Stanhope to try-outs with the state open and under-21 teams earlier this year to “gain experience.”
The trips to Melbourne certainly weren’t wasted because Beth is now a member of the state under-18 team and looks destined for higher honours in the sport.
Beth makes regular trips around Victoria with the state side competing in knockouts and demonstration matches.
She trains with the team every Sunday morning in Melbourne for two hours.
