Paarl Gim’s victory over Stellenberg spearheaded by Vosloo and Barnard
Paarl Gimnasium‘s first netball side started their season off with a 27-19 victory over Stellenberg. This is always a tough first encounter as both sides are annually reckoned as some of the top sides within the Western Cape.
The star players for Paarl Gim in their victory were their captain, Elené Vosloo, and their goal shooter, Milla Barnard. Vosloo started the first two quarters as wing defence before slotting in at centre for the last two quarters.
