Sports champ is aims for four flags

12 Sep, 2009 05:00 AM

FOUR flags in a week sounds like a lot of celebrations.

Elise Webster has the chance to achieve the feat but hasn't partied as much as you might think.

The 18-year-old was in the East Warrnambool A grade side which won its first Warrnambool and District league netball flag last Saturday.

``It was a great win because we worked really hard for it,'' she said. ``I wasn't celebrating that much because I still had hockey finals.

``We had a team barbecue on Sunday.

``I stopped after that but the other girls kept going.

``They're probably still going,'' she quipped.

Today Webster is involved in three Warrnambool District Hockey Association grand finals. First she will coach the under 17 Barracudas. Then she'll line up in the women's match for Buccaneers, who start favourite against Saints, followed by an appearance in the men's match.

Her Pirates, also the favourite, clash against Buccaneers.

She was confident her women's team could collect the flag.

``We've all played with each other for a long time so we know how each other play,'' she said.

``We've only lost one game this season and haven't lost to Saints yet.

``Hopefully we can finish off the season well,'' she said.

All grand finals are at Albert Park. The under 17s start at 11.30am, the women at 1.30pm and the men at 3.30pm.
