Charlbury Wednesday social netball 28th February

Another good night of netball at Charlbury Community Centre this week with all teams in attendance for their weekly round of matches.

Whilst it was good to see some close score lines I understand that there were a number of scrappy games throughout the evening resulting in the umpire reporting to us that a few players were close to being disciplined, which is very unusual for a social netball league. We don’t want injuries and in equal measure the umpire doesn’t want to be blowing the whistle every 5 seconds and killing the enjoyment of the game. Let’s not forget that’s why we play!

Everyone either has jobs to go to or the children to look after and no one wants to end up with unnecessary injuries from being over zealous in the matches.

We were also saddened to hear that one player thought it was acceptable to question the umpire in a manner showing complete disrespect! Obviously this player has now been removed from the league and will not be allowed back. 

Please can we get back to enjoying the game of netball and cut out the issues we had this week as we will take further action against players if this continues.

If anyone should have any queries then please feel free to contact us at head office on 01926 674440 and one of the team will happily help.

See you all next week.
