300 for Wendy<\/h1>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Team player: Wendy McEachern (GS) before her 300th game against Korumburra Bena on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

FOR Wendy McEachern it\u2019s all about the club.
The MDU B Grade netballer played her 300th game on the weekend, in a bruising encounter with Korumburra-Bena. The Demons lost, but Wendy still emerged smiling.
The 43-year-old took up the sport at the tender age of eight and hasn\u2019t looked back.
\u201cIt\u2019s been 35 years, and since 1996 with MDU,\u201d she said.
Wendy has won both A Grade and B Grade best and fairest awards, and premierships in 2004 and 2005. She has done an umpiring course, fundraising and anything else the Demons have needed. Around the club, she is regarded as one of those people who can always be relied upon.
\u201cOriginally my sister Julie Goldsmith dragged me out there \u2013 she played out there. She passed away nine years ago, but she was a past president and had a big involvement with the club,\u201d she said.
Wendy has kept something of her sister\u2019s spirit alive at MDU, with an unwavering commitment to the red and the blue.
\u201cThey actually have a memorial award in her name \u2013 the Goldie Award – which I did win one year,\u201d she said.
The award is given to those who have made a profound and sustained contribution to the club. It was a touching moment for Wendy. But she has never been one for individual accolades. The team is all.
\u201cMDU is a really good club. Everyone is really friendly and I just love being out there,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
