Dortmans: Best team I have ever played with
Horsham Saints' wing attack Beth Dortmans was awarded the best on the court medal for a fantastic game in the C-Grade Grand Final.
Dortmans has spent the last five years at the Horsham Saints and was honoured to win the title among what she described as "awesome girls."
"I am surprised I was best on as we have a lot of amazing players in the team, and I am honoured," Dortmans said.
"This is my first premiership in the league following one down in Gippsland.
"We have worked hard for this as a team, and I knew if we stuck together and brought our A-Game, then we would get there."
"This is the highlight of my career and the best team I have ever played with."
Dortmans was quick to thank Kristine and Ash Grace.
"They have been wonderful, and we are lucky to have them as a part of our club," Dortmans said.
"Kris is so full of knowledge, and with Ash by our side, we are so lucky.
"For me to be a midcourt and have Ash as a team manager, I can go to her for advice, and I was picking her brain at quarter-time today."
"They are lovely people and great coaches."
Ash Grace said Beth always tries her heart out.
"She was consistent today and copped it a bit, went off, regrouped, and came back on with fire in her belly, so credit to her for doing that. It shows how good of a player she is mentally," Grace said.
