Unfortunately the league is not on this coming Thursday 2nd May due to local elections taking place at the venue so we will see everyone back the Thursday after which is the 9th May. Please ensure that youcheck your sheduled start time on our website for the relevant date as failure to arrive at the correcct time may result in a forfeit of the fixture.

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 why we play!

Everyone either has jobs to go to or children to look after and no one wants to end up with unnecessary injuries from being over zealous in the matches. Our officials are also there to enjoy the sessions as much as the players and are not there to have their descisions questioned or be subject to any kind of rudeness or abuse. We will not tolerate any behaviour which is in appropriate and players who feel like it is acceptable to act in that way can expect not to be welcomed back.
