Cora Lynn star Bianca Douglas and much-loved Tooradin-Dalmore stalwart Holly Gillespie chalked up significant milestones on Saturday.

Douglas, who has won an incredible five A Grade best and fairests at the Cobras – and 10 overall throughout her glittering career – played her 250th game against Nar Nar Goon.

Douglas has played the majority of her career in goal defence, but has become a versatile fixture this season at either end of the court.

Douglas is the daughter of Allan Douglas, a former president and A Grade coach at the netball club.

The impact of Gillespie at Tooradin-Dalmore is reflected in the following post on the club’s Facebook page.

The ridiculously loved and appreciated Holly Gillespie played her 200th senior game for Tooradin yesterday!

Holly encapsulates all we love and aspire to be in one gorgeous human.

She is and has always been an incredible player for Tooradin through both her junior and senior careers, where she consistently contributed to teams through her smarts, speed and leadership.

We are so lucky to have her imbedded in the red and green.

Hols vivacious energy and infectious laugh are the reasons we will never let her go and encourage her to play another 200 games.

Congratulations Bianca and Holly on to incredible careers!
