Overview

A photograph of the Bunbury High School Netball team.

Historical information

In 1927, for the first time, Netball matches were played against outside teams. The school team had a successful beginning to its career, as it won every match. The G.F.S. team was defeated after a close game. Then four matches were played against the Senior School, all of which were won by the school team, though some of the games were very close. There is a possibility that next year a Netball Association may be formed in Bunbury, giving an opportunity for regular matches.

From an article in the December 1927 edition of the Kingia magazine.
