News Update #39

26/6/2018

 
​PERFORMANCE
The NNA team had a resounding win this week 29 v 
15 v Victorious Secrets. This team has a great mix of players from our top athletes in Premier 1 and often some U14 s, it is a great experience for our young players performing with such experienced athletes. Our NNB team had a narrow loss, they are building towards success in the junior leagues using Netball nights to develop their game and find challenging opposition which is not always available in junior matches. The West Yorkshire Summer League team smashed it on Saturday beating Calderdale 58 v 9 ensuring they stay at the top of the league table.

AWARDS EVENING
A massive thank you to everyone who helped at our awards night on Friday, from flower buyers to sausage servers it was great team work just what Leeds Athletic does well. Michelle Barker-Field deserves a special mention at this point, she was overall responsible for putting on the event, taking the IT presentation to a different level with detailed information and photos of all the award winners. Our thanks to you Michelle, great job.
Most of our coaches spoke at the event including Anna and Maggie for which we are very grateful considering the big match in their diaries the next day with Loughborough Lightning.  Anna made an inspirational speech about using your obsession for netball to achieve success.

SPECTATE
The semi finals of Superleague 2018 are upon us. First place Wasps and second place Loughborough Lightning get the home draw, to be played on Saturday 30th June. Wasps v Team Bath is on Sky Sports at 5.45pm or you could watch live Loughborough Lightning v Manchester Thunder in Leicester.  Good luck to Anna and Maggie with Loughborough and our past and present players with Bath and Wasps. It’s all building up to a fantastic grand final on the 7th July at the Copper Box in London.

UMPIRING COURSE
Leeds Athletic held their first Umpiring course on Sunday, the England Netball Official C award course was delivered by Elaine Douris. Twelve potential umpires were put through their paces, theory in the morning and practise papers. The practical element, umpiring a match was in the afternoon when 16 very helpful young guns came along to play for the “would be” umpires to practise their newly acquired skills. There were a couple of cheeky games where the youngsters had the opportunity to play with some of the older girls.

CONGRATULATIONS
Well done to Hannah Moulds and Claudia Stead being selected for Loughborough U17 NPFL and Erin Hodgkiss and Lucy Alexander being selected to the Loughborough U19 NPL squad. Well done to Chloe Smith, Anya Wood and Chloe Essam, being selected for Loughborough U21s. This is in preparation for a four day tournament at the end of July when franchises battle with each other. Yorkshire are soon to announce their squads for this tournament, good luck to our players who are trialling.

​PERFORMANCE
Our amazing U12 team WON the Regional tournament at the EIS Sheffield on Sunday. They won some games by some big margins, with just a couple of close games and one draw, eventually winning the competition on goal difference.  
Coaches John and Meghan were thrilled with the performances, some good reward for the season’s hard work! This makes our U12s Regional Champions the top accolade for teams in this age group. Big shout out to Catriona Astbury who kept everyone updated on our Facebook group with scores and performances throughout the day, thank you.
On Wednesday our young NNB team faced Jets who provided fierce and mature opposition, they lost, but there was lots of learning as ever for these youngsters playing senior netball.
The Summer League girls were disappointed to have their match cancelled due to exam desks still set up in the sports hall. This match will be played on the 21st July.

Anna and Maggie had another victory with LBoro Lightning on Saturday, the tenth in a row, assuring them of a top 4 spot. Good luck to all our players and former in NSL as we head towards the last games before semis etc.

AWARDS EVENING

Leeds Club Unearthing New Talent

19/6/2018

0 Comments

 
As the current generation of England’s Commonwealth Games-winning netball players garner all sorts of praise and promise, Leeds Athletic Netball Club meanwhile sees a mixture of the sport’s past and future stars all aiming to reach new heights.

​Two of them are former England player-turned-Leeds-coach Maggie Birkinshaw and England Under-17 vice-captain, Georgia Pexton, who both also coach and play at Super League side Loughborough Lightning/U21 owing to Yorkshire not yet having a Super League franchise.  CLICK HERE for the full report.

News Update #36

3/6/2018

 
Good luck to everyone at trials and taking exams over the next couple of weeks. Representative sides with entries into the NPL Summer Tournament U17/19/21 and U15 school games are all trialling/training soon, with lots of our athletes involved in a variety of squads!

PERFORMANCE
Great performances this week from our Netball Nights teams, with wins for both playing at the same time outside at Mount St Marys. NNB beat Leeds Tigers 32-18 and NNA played a friendly against Farsley, but still won the points from Shooting Stars who could not field a team.   The West Yorkshire Summer League were outstanding beating a strong, tall Harrogate Phoenix 56 to 30. Great to see different players each week, playing together like any regular team, with experienced senior players supporting the juniors.

LEEDS ATHLETIC IN THE NEWS
Not sure we included this in an update when it was in the YEP, so here is a recent article, especially for those of you who don’t follow social media.

​

SPECTATE
The Superleague is hotting up but no matches in our extended area this week. No televised matches until 11th June. Try looking on Sky mix (121) for Australian and NZ netball. Some of our players have still been appearing in NSL matches, and pathway matches, so well done to them. Another well done to Anna and Maggie with another good win for Lightning at the weekend against a strong Severn Stars. Great to see so many of our players travelling to watch NSL matches, eg Manchester Live, as it is such a good way to learn. Here is a recent article about the growth of netball and NSL, for anyone who hasn’t already seen it.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/2018/05/22/premier-league-football-clubs-could-hold-key-netballs-future/

TEAM BAGS
Please can all team admins let Sian Priestly have requirements to refill the team bag first aid kits as soon as possible in preparation for next season.
