Rooster celebrates 350 games
SOUTH Warrnambool netballer Peta Van Bruggen celebrated her 350th club game last weekend.
The popular Roosters member was presented with a bunch of flowers and acknowledged for her long-standing contribution to the club prior to Saturday’s round two match against Terang Mortlake.
Van Bruggen has contributed to the club in many ways, including as player, coach, umpire and committee member.
Her journey with the Roosters embodies the essence of sportsmanship, shaping generations with passion and integrity.
“This club is like a family to me,” Van Bruggen said courtside on the weekend.
“I absolutely love netball and I’m still hoping to become a premiership player one day.”
Van Bruggen’s milestone day was made even more memorable when she and her division three team-mates enjoyed a 35-28 goal win over the Bloods – and she was named among the best on court.
