What an amazing week!! It seems that the country has suddenly realised how brilliant our game can be, thanks to our England Roses. Unprecedented media attention nationally, and locally Anna Carter and our U14s starred in Look North on Friday night. They all did an amazing job of looking good and speaking well. We are very proud of you girls, of Anna, with Tanya Arnold paying credit to the attitude of our girls, well done.
Performance
NNB had another close match on Wednesday night this time losing by two goals 25-27, a good opportunity to learn. There was no match for NNA this week.
Our Northern team lost narrowly in their final match of the season against 44-47 Oaksway, with a few players missing this was a tough one. However, this squad have had had the most amazing season and are already league Champions, well done girls and Coach Jan Hemsley.
Congratulations to the U14s who secured a place at the National Club Finals by beating Huddersfield Giants 29-25, they are unbeaten league winners. There is now just over a month of training to prepare for the weekend event in Newcastle. How exciting, for many of these girls it will be their first nationals. Well done Libby and Lisa.
The U16s had already qualified for Nationals but pulled off a 60-26 win in their last Regional league match against Shipley, that’s without four defenders can you believe, two injured and two on D of E. Special get well soon wishes to Ailsa and Isabella. Thanks and well done to Maggie and Susie, the league victory achieved in impressive style.
