Celebration time, everybody!

My nephew is officially a state champion after playing Wing Defence in the Queensland Suns' Under 17 Netball team. The team beat a valiant Bond University Bull Sharks team 46-12 in the final of the state championships.

As an uncle, I couldn't be prouder. My sister was never very sporty and I taught the kid everything he knows about netball when he was a young nipper. To say I am pleased as punch would be an understatement.

I'm a little disappointed to hear of the abuse and heckling directed at the team by large sections of the crowd, but I can assure you my nephew is fine. You don't grow up to be a state netball champ without being made of some pretty stern stuff.

Please feel free to add your congratulations below. It truly is a proud day for everyone in the extended utility family.

Pretty disappointed to see so few congratulatory posts, tbh! Sad day for unisex netball.

well done and congratulations to the team and the coach the families there has been a fair bit of negative media about this being unfair, it was an open competition for both genders, equality goes both ways, and these boys worked hard trained hard to compete

Like to see it with the Aussie women's cricket team too. Should be playing the Aussie mens team today not the Indian women!

All women's sport should go this way come to think of it. Girls can play till they are 10 or so and then get replaced by superior athletes in the boys. Unbeatable.
