Ladies Netball

As a team we gave it our all.  Most of the team had not played for 20+ years and we did extremely well and had a good laugh at the same time.

Our first game we lost to South Lancs 21 – 0, but still kept laughing and smiling at the same time.  Our next game we had one player missing, so this is where we found an innocent spectator, Tracy Totman.  We had all of her nails taped up and stripped her of all her jewellery so that she could play. We told her she would be fine and not much happened in the end that she would be playing in.  She was Goal Keeper and it transpired that everything happened in the end that Tracy was in. We managed to keep the score in double figures but again lost 18 – 0.  Our play was improving vastly and we now had tactics – ‘keep doing what we were doing’.

Our support on the sideline was vast and probably the best support any of the other teams could of wished for.  Our next game was against our local rivals – Mid Anglia.  The game was fun and was probably one of our best.  The score was creeping up but we kept it from going into double figures.  Even Mid Anglia was starting to wish that we could get just one goal so we could say we had done it.  We had several chances, Tracy then Rosanna, then back to Tracy.  At last one went in scored by Rosanna.  I think everybody cheered, even Mid Anglia.

The game was enjoyed by all, and we all had a good laugh.
