Frome’s New Junior Netball League a Big Success!

Frome’s new junior netball league finished on a high with over 140 girls participating throughout the season.

For our final league day we were blessed with glorious sunshine and warmth as throughout the winter we had all braved the cold, wind and rain! The league has 3 age categories U12’s, U14’s and U16’s. Teams have been battling it out over the season and it’s been wonderful to see all the girls improve their netball skills and to enjoy participating in a team sport.

The U12’s had 5 teams from Frome, Salisbury, Warminster and Westbury. Spires Storm from Salisbury dominated this age category and were the unbeaten winners, with their other team Spires Ice finishing 2nd.

The U14’s had 4 teams from Frome, Holt, Warminster and Westbury. Holt and Warminster battled for the winning spot on the final day of the league and Wessex Lightning from Warminster just pipped Holt Stars in the last match. They drew on points so the winner was decided on goal difference.

The U16’s had 5 teams from Frome, Holt, Salisbury, Warminster and Westbury. The level of netball in this age category was amazing to watch. Spires Red from Salisbury with their outstanding display of netball were the winners and Wessex Storm were the runners up.

The winners received a trophy and medals with the runners up receiving a trophy. Every girl that took part was awarded with a certificate of participation as we felt everyone deserved something for their commitment throughout the season.

We also awarded a trophy to each age category for the girl that was awarded the most player of the match throughout the season.

The U12’s was awarded to Connie Bates from Frome Tigers, she was voted players player 13 times. The U14’s was awarded to Libby from Wessex Lightning, she was voted players player 8 times and the U16’s was awarded to Laura from Spires Red, she was voted players player 11 times.

Due to the success of our first season, Frome Junior Netball Club will be continue this league next season.
