Uproar as all boys netball team beats all girls to win state title
[Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register]
An angry backlash has erupted after an all-boys netball team won a state title in Queensland by beating sides made up of female players in the decider. The Queensland Suns Under-17 team was comprised entirely of boys and won the Under-18s championship in Brisbane this week, beating regional female teams en route to the trophy. The*Courier Mail*reports after the Suns beat the Bond University Bull Sharks 46-12 in the final, some members of the crowd directed abuse towards the boys, with many believing it was unfair they were allowed to compete. Suns coach Tammy Holcroft told the publication: “The abuse ranged from comments made courtside deliberately within earshot of the Suns contingent, to adults making vulgar comments directly behind the team bench. “It’s disappointing that the frustration was directed at the players. “At the very core of this, our boys just want to play and they copped the brunt of these comments and behaviours and were made to feel unwelcomed and unsupported.” Netball chief defends boys playing girls Netball Queensland has strongly defended the state’s decision to allow an all-boys team to take part in the state netball competition. “We want to make clear that there is a place for everyone in our sport,” it said in*a statement*on Thursday. “We stand by the decision to choose inclusion over exclusion. And, to invite the Queensland Suns to return to the State Titles given they have limited opportunities to play in a high performance environment due to low participation numbers and limited pathways. “We recognise that change is sometimes uncomfortable, and we are buoyed by the support of our wider netball community who are embracing men and boys in competition formats and have done so for some time in a mixed netball capacity. “The inclusion of both women and men in the competition in 2021 was about affording all netballers the opportunity to play and develop our great game. “While we have been subject to commentary around the different physical attributes it should also be remembered that men are new participants to our sport and play a different style of netball. “It’s also imperative that we provide a platform for men and boys to participate – because if you can’t see it, you can’t be it. And we aspire to be a sport for all.” Chief executive of Netball Queensland Catherine Clark stood by the decision and even said girls benefit from playing against boys as it pushes both males and females to improve their game. “They (the boys) are really desperate to play and I think they played beautiful netball as did all of the girls teams,” Clark told the*ABC. |
