This is probably the last update for the 2018/19 Season, as we are now in the trials period and will be starting our new database for the 2019/20 Season. We will be looking to get trial outcomes for U16 out very soon, with others following too. We will also be sorting groups for the younger age groups and confirming training venues and times and fees during the summer.
Trials
Deadline for U12 and Senior trials are today/this week! Please be thoughtful to athletes during this period of trials, there will always be some disappointment as well as delight, but remember everyone has set backs at some point and it is about how athletes bounce back and how parents support the athletes.
Awards evening
Well done to the winners at our awards evening, and to all other players who have played for us this season. Our coaches always say that it is difficult to select award winners! Huge thanks to the organisers and especially Mark and Susie who put in so much work behind the scenes, in and amongst coaching as well!
The list of club achievements for 2018/19 is impressive!

U12 Regional Tournament
The U12As had a very successful weekend in Sheffield at the EIS becoming U12 Yorkshire Netball Champions. The squad was made up of 12 girls who all took to the court and played their part in the victory! They qualified for the final having won the West Yorkshire league comfortably but faced unknown competition in their 12 matches at the finals. They secured wins in their first 11 matches against teams from all over the county:-
Hi Lites 20-1; Wakefield Phoenix 16-1; Harrogate Phoenix 18-4; Huddersfield Giants 13-2; Whitecross 20-4; Allus 23-0; Reckitts 21-2; York City 17-1; Harrogate Halos 18-3; Dronfield 17-9; Wakefield Wildcats 15-3.
This meant that they went into their final match against Kingston with both teams having won all 11 of their matches, this would be the decider. The team put on an outstanding performance under pressure to win 16-8. John, their coach said, “Every player was outstanding in performance and attitude, and has been all year”. The girls were delighted to come home with the trophy following a very successful season. Well done everyone and thanks to all helpers!
