As we’re in the "off season" now, we will do less regular updates, although there’s still plenty of netball being played!!!
I hope you are enjoying the sunshine, it is great for all the tournaments running outside at this time of the year.
PERFORMANCE
Our U14 team led by Libby Hodgkiss supported by Lisa Head travelled to Lancashire to challenge themselves against some of the best in the country. They had a great day, played well, just missing out on a semi final position.
This week our West Yorkshire Summer League team featuring lots of U16s in this senior league stormed the game against Huddersfield All Blacks 63-13. Well done girls.
In Netball Nights our NNB team continue to develop their game in this physical senior league. They took a narrow loss 27-31 to Shooting Stars but there was lots of learning. The NNA team won 32-18 v Thundercats keeping them at the top of the league.
WELL DONE
Huge congratulations to our coaches Anna and Maggie who have coached an amazing team at Loughborough Lightning to the Superleague Grand Final. The semi final saw Loughborough Lightning leading narrowly from the start with an eventual score of 59-50 against a strong and hungry Manchester Thunder, winning using skill and intelligence over physicality. The club is so proud of our coaches’ achievements, remember to support them on Saturday 7th July in the final against Wasps. Watch live at the Copper Box or on Sky Sports 5pm. Or take a trip to London!
