Challenge netball match Ladies v Men

Written by Hans

The second challenge match was played on Friday night 11th November  at  Devizes  leisure centre. Very heavy deluges of rain failed to deter the competitors. With minutes remaining the men trailed the ladies by one point but shipped two goals late on, the ladies winning 14-11. The ladies brought in a well marshalled defence which dealt far better with the attacking threat from Chris and Ollie. Rachel was player of the match. The third and deciding match is to be played by the New Year. Please contact Sarah Fleming or Ben Swift if interested in playing.

Carl Orlans and Jane Newell win the 2012 Niblett Rosebowl

Thirty two club members played out the 2012 handicap tournament held at The Delta Centre on January 14th. With four courts available each match was limited to the best of seven games, and sudden death deuces kept matches moving and added an exciting edge. Four hours raced by and a nerve jangling finale saw Jane Newell and Carl Orlans prevail against Alex Morgan and Victoria Newell by 4 games to 3.
