KATIE Fenton was centre court player of the final as the Warwick open side went down by one goal to Lockyer in the final of the Darling Downs Inter-district Netball competition at Laidley on Sunday.

After going into the final weekend of the competition in third place, Warwick qualified third for the semi-finals.

Warwick went down to Goondiwindi in the first game on Sunday but turned the tables in the semi final with a convincing win to qualify for the grand final.

Lockyer led early in the grand final before Warwick levelled the score at half-time.

Warwick trailed by three points at three-quarter time but drew level with two minutes to go.

Lockyer scored with 30 seconds left to lead 19-18 and Warwick ran out of time to go for the equaliser.

Coach Helena Fraser was delighted with the effort as her side went to Laidley with only one reserve as one player had work commitments and another was sick.

“Our team will play in the Southport Carrara Club Carnival on August 28 as an end of season trip,” Fraser said.

“We were pretty happy with our performance as it was our first year together as a team.”
