Performance
Well, our awesome U16s had a rollercoaster day on the first day of National Clubs Netball Finals, the pinnacle of junior netball, closing the day having secured a brilliant top six placing and all to play for the next day. The opposition were Oldham, Turnford, Bury, Charnwood Rutland and Eagles nothing was going to be easy. The girls put out amazing performances on Sunday, better than the previous day, losing only by two in both morning matches against very stiff opposition. Final standing 6th best club team in the country. Congratulations girls. Many thanks to lead coach Maggie Birkinshaw, supported by Susie Stead and Libby Hodgkiss, Admin Rachel Train, all parent helpers, and Georgia Pexton joining to lend her experience for day 2 - a true team effort that the Club is proud of! Fabulous experience for the girls with memories to last a life time.
In other performances this weekend:
Massive congratulations to LANC U12A who became West Yorkshire League Champions by beating Wakefield Wildcats by 36-11 in the last game of the season. Well done girls what an amazing season, into the serious preparation now for the Regional Tournament, the pinnacle of competition at this age group.
Hi five U11s lost to 6-10 to Terrier Tots 1 a brilliant game despite the score. U12 LANC D lost to Wakefield Phoenix in a close game 5-7 brilliant for our youngest players in this age group. Our U14B West Yorkshire squad lost to YMCA 30-23 in a hard fought battle. OurU16B West Yorkshire team should have played two games supported by some talented U14s as numbers were low due to players involved in Nationals. The first match was cancelled so the team went out for breakfast-great idea guys. The second match against YMCA resulted in a win 28-23 excellent result girls it must have been the Weetabix!!
