A LANCEFIELD netballer had her slogan featured on a banner ahead of the July 21 clash between Essendon and Western Bulldogs.
Kira Baldwin, a defender in Lancefield’s A Grade netball team, took part in a slogan competition for the Transport Accident Commission’s, TAC, Road Safety Round along with multiple others from the club to spread the word on road safety.
Winners had the chance to be featured on a banner that flew before the Friday night match, with Baldwin – an Essendon supporter – winning the competition and securing a shoutout for her and her club on the Bombers’ banner.
Featured on the banner was her slogan ‘my life is in your hands; your phone shouldn’t be’.
Lancefield netball coach Stacey Parks said it was ‘wonderful’ to see Baldwin and Lancefield recognised on the national stage.
“Anyone could put any slogan they wanted around driving and safe driving, and I think especially [Baldwin’s] slogan really resonates with a lot of people because we’ve got quite a young club this year. Hopefully it stays at the forefront of everyone’s minds,” she said.
“Kira is an Essendon supporter as well so it was probably even better for her that it was on an Essendon banner. Unfortunately she wasn’t at the game but it was really good to see her get some recognition for it.”
