Reports round-up by league press secretary DEBBIE WINROW
The new winter season sees 15 teams in the league. A
change in format means a five-week fixture list providing teams with plenty of
opportunity to move up or down sections depending on points accumulated. This
format is designed to provide teams with more varied games and increase their
competitive edge on the excellent facilities provided at Kirton Middlecott
sports centre.

April 26:
The winter netball season is now over and the last
results are in. So the various league positions have been decided and the
trophies won. All will be revealed on the presentation night Friday July 13
(hopefully lucky for some).
The Summer League starts next week May 3 at Boston High School 7pm. The format
is different to the winter with two leagues and a handicap system. There are two
new teams to the league from Pilgrim Hospital so we welcome them. Anyone
wishing to try their hand at netball (even if you have not played since school
— if you loved it then you still will now) is welcome to come along to watch
and/or partake. Individuals or teams always welcome.

March 15:
D Birds 32 (players’ player award,
Nikki)
Endeavours B 11 (players’ player award, Vanessa Droy)
D Birds took the lead during the first half and dominated the game.
Endeavours found the match difficult as they have just been promoted into league
two and D Birds have just come down from league one.
Donington Ladies 30 (players’ player award, Tanya Holstead, C)
TAZ 18 (players’ player award, Lisa Goodley)
This was a fast-paced game to start with, but one that slowed down towards
the end of the second half. Donington dominated the whole game especially the
shooting and they led 10-1 at quarter-time, 16-3 at half-time and 22-11 at
three-quarter time. TAZ fought back in the third quarter nearly matching the
goals scored, but with such a sizeable deficit, they were unable to fully
catch up.
Boston B 18 (players’ player award, Chloe Loftus)
BHS Blacks 12 (players’ player award, Demi Topliss)
A scrappy game from both teams with not that many successful goal attempts.
Boston took the lead and continued to increase it. BHS fought hard and
matched their rivals’ goal scoring in the third quarter but could not
retrieve the deficit.
BHS Blue 16 (players’ player award, Emily Brader)
BHS Yellow 14 (players’ player award,
Natalie Ruck)
After the first quarter the score was 0-0 with mistakes from both sides.
Blues picked up in the second quarter to gain a good 7-3 lead. Yellows fought
hard and almost gained even goals after three quarters to lead 10-9. Yellows
continued to make the passes count but could not hold on.
Boston A 20 (players’ player award, Hayley Pycock)
BHS Reds 14 (players’ player award, Steph Rance)
Boston started players short giving Reds a quarter time lead 5-3. Boston
returned to full strength for the second quarter and turned the game around.
Boston continued to dominate despite BHS’s best efforts.
Endeavours A 15 (players’ player award, Laura Kitchen)
Gems A 7 (players’ player award, Ellen
McGarel)
At half time Endeavours had an 8-4 lead and were defending well. It was a
good, even game but Endeavours’ shooters were on top form, giving them a
convincing win.

March 1:
Next week is the last fixture in this round of fixtures,
so points are important at this stage. The weather has improved and the
league competition has had half-term off. So everyone is now raring to go.
Boston A 29 (players’ player award, Lynne
Evans)
D Birds 14 (players’ player award, Marie
Pratt)
Both teams played well and were evenly matched for the first quarter. Boston
A pulled away with strong play in the second quarter. The D Birds were
persistent and roughly matched goals in the third quarter and the fourth part
of the match but were unable to catch up their rivals’ second quarter lead.
Gems I 26 (players’ player award, Frankie)
Shooting Stars 12 (players’ player award, Vicky
Kemp)
Both teams played well with Gems taking a small lead in the first quarter.
Their strong play resulted in a sound lead in the second quarter despite
Shooting Stars making great efforts. Gems continued to go from strength to
strength, resulting in a comfortable lead. Shooting Stars battled in the last
quarter and caught a few goals up but could not win.
Donington 27 (players’ player award, Tanya)
BHS Blues 9 (players’ player award, GK)
Both teams started well but Donington went from strength to strength,
building on a comfortable lead gained by strong play in the second quarter.
TAZ 15 (players’ player award, Bridie Middleton)
Gems II 11 (players’ player award,
Hannah Coates)
No match report available.
BHS Black 25 (players’ player award, Cally
Rogers WD)
Boston B 5 (players’ player award, Nikki
Pratt WD)
The game got off to a quick start with BHS gaining an early lead. Both teams produced
accurate passing but the BHS shooting standard was high leaving them with a
half-time lead. BHS continued to pick up their game with Boston B always
trying in vain to catch up.
Endeavours B 24 (players’ player award, Karen Johnson)
BHS Yellows 13 (players’ player award, Amy
Harrison)
A very tight first quarter ended a tie at 5-5. Both teams working hard to
keep passing accurate and all shooters on form gave Endeavours a good lead at
the end of the second. The much-improved Yellow team gained goals back using
their speed and agility against the tiring Endeavours in the third but
couldn’t quite catch up. The fourth quarter saw Endeavours pull away with
renewed energy despite the Yellows putting up an excellent fight.
|
|
February 15:
After several weeks of missed games due to weather the
league is back on track. After a break for half term it will be nearly time
to change around again and it is all to play for.
Endeavours B 22 (players’ player, Vanessa
Droy)
Boston B 18 (players’ player, Carli)
Quick passing and accurate shooting gave Endeavours a slight lead at half
time by a margin of 10-5. In the third quarter Boston B fought back well and
went close to drawing level. The tall Endeavours defence made life difficult
for the Boston
B shooters. In the final quarter Boston worked hard and nearly caught up.
Gems I 20 (players’ player, Fiona Nixon)
D Birds 2 (players’ player, Marie Pratt)
Despite only playing with six players until the last quarter when they
dropped to five, Gems still turned in an outstanding display. The D Birds
battled well, but simply just couldn’t keep up.
TAZ 19 (players’ player, Vicki Wallis)
BHS Blue 2 (players’ player, Jenni Booth)
In cold and blustery conditions TAZ gained a good half time lead of 7-0. BHS
Blue then made some great long shots ensuring they scored a couple of goals.
TAZ continued to take control of the game making it impossible for BHS to
come
back.
BHS Red 24 (players’ player, Sarah Clarke)
Gems II 16 (players’ player, Laura Grant)
Gems II worked incredibly hard especially in defence. But the fast passing
and superior athleticism of BHS was just too much for them on the night.
BHS Yellow 17
BHS Black 10
Yellows took the lead early in the game and held on to it all the way
through. Blacks fought back but the game was scrappy and they were unable to
make any real inroads on the Yellows’ lead.

still passing well but but they were unable to catch up.
BHS Reds 21 (players’ player, Jenny Booth)
BHS BlueS 2 (players’ player Sophie

Shooting Stars 8 (players’ player award, Val Morey)
League Two
TAS 11 (players’ player award, V
Cooper)
Gems II (players’ player award, Jo Heckford)
Both teams started well but Gems II took the initial lead. It was not long
before TAS fought back in the second quarter to take the lead. Both shooters
had plenty of opportunities from centre court but not all attempts were
consistent. This led to a frequent change in the lead. The score was tight
with both teams fighting hard to hold the lead for spells. The scores finish
even 11-11 after a good game from all.
BHS Reds 17 (players’ player award, Steph Rance)
D Birds 13 (players’ player award, Laura Burton)
League Three
BHS Blue 16
BHS Yellow 9 (players’ player award, Katie
Baxter)
The younger Yellow team started well and took the lead.
But it wasn’t long before the Blues got it together and play improved.
Excellent shooting from Blue then gave them the advantage. The Yellows’
centre court players worked hard to give their shooters chances. But the
Blues’ defence was tight and tall, leaving the Yellow shooters with a tough
task to catch up. The Blues’ lead increased, giving them a 16-9 win. A well
played game on both sides.
BHS Blacks 15 (players’ player award, Katie
Fairweather)
Boston B 10 (players’ player award, Joyce

December 7:
League Two
Gems II 9 (players’ player award, Jo
Heckford)
Endeavours B 3 (players’ player award, Jenny
Briley)
This was a really tight game to start with as both sides found the scoring
touch elusive. All attempts to score were hampered by the windy
conditions. The second quarter was still quite tight but Gems carved out more
scoring chances. The second half led to Gems gradually pulling ahead to the
win.
League Three
Boston B 11 (players’ player award, J Scott)
BHS Blues 11 (players’ player award, Dani
Carter)
Excellent shooting from Emily Brader of BHS gave them a first quarter lead.
Boston responded with strong circle defensive work. Half-time arrived with
the scores even, but then BHS pulled into a four-goal lead going into the
last quarter. But Boston responded to end with a well-fought draw.
BHS Yellow 25 (players’ player award, Katie
Baxter)
BHS Black 10 (players’ player award, Cally
Rogers)
BHS Yellows showed good shooting skills and BHS Blacks improved their play to
try to counter attack. Yellows stayed consistent and in the third quarter the
Blacks really improved, but it was all too late to catch up.

November 23:
League Two
Gems II 20 (players’ player award, Sadie
James)
BHS Reds 11 (players’ player award, Toni Pratt)
Both teams were very evenly matched for most of the game, but the Gems’
defence battled hard to keep ahead by fending off BHS Reds attacks. Half-time
saw the Gems just pulling away with a three-goal lead. And they kept up the
momentum to eventually win 20-11.
League Three
Endeavours B 21 (players’ player award, Jess Wilkinson)
BHS Blacks 11 (players’ player award, Lucy Bradley)
Both teams figured in a close-fought first half with Endeavours B leading 9-6
at half-time. The second half was well defended by BHS Blacks but the
superior passing skills of the Endeavours attack shone through, giving them
an exciting win
League One
Shooting Stars 13 (players’ player award, Jess Brader)
Endeavours A 10 (players’ player award, Becky
Barker)
Shooting Stars led early on thanks to some outstanding shooting from Jess
West to lead 5-2 in the first quarter. The second quarter saw accuracy
dropping for the Stars and Endeavours played well to pull back to 7-9. Both
teams played
well, leading to fewer goals in the second half. But Shooting Stars kept the
lead.
Gems I 21
TAS 15
Gems started a player short and TAS set off well with
the first goal. Gems caught up, but hard play and fantastic shooting from
Mandy Stocks left the score 4-4 at quarter time. Gems started the next
quarter well with more dominant play
but the shooters just couldn’t hit the net. However they did “get their eye
in” and started to cash in on their attacking work with some good goals.
Half-time was 9-6 to Gems. Gems continued to dominate play with TAS still
working hard.

November 16:
League Three
Endeavours B 30 (players’ player award, Jane Hudson)
BHS Yellow 6 (players’ player award, GA)
Endeavours made a good start by showing strength throughout, with their
shooters very accurate. BHS tried hard and made some good moves, but a wet
ball and cold fingers led to chances being lost. Endeavours’ experience and
height gave them the advantage over the faster youngsters. BHS fought hard
and did not give up and, encouraged by “cheer leading” dads, finished
with smiles on their faces.
League Two
Donington 22 (players’ player award, Sandy Smith)
BHS Red 8 (players’ player award, Sarah Clarke)
Both teams had even possession in the first quarter with Donington
managing a 2-1 lead. Donington’s players created good space around the court
an managed to get some telling passes into the circle. Half-time score was
10-3 to Donington. BHS had some good shots at goal but couldn’t catch the
Dons.

November 9:
League Two
Gems II 24 (players’ player award, Jo
Heckford)
Boston B 9 (players’ player award, Joyce Scott)
Gems II made good, structured passes with Boston also getting into space
well. Gems were more dominant in the second quarter, resulting in a stable
score with Boston successfully collecting the rebounds. The third quarter
gave Gems the opportunity to pull ahead as they allowed Boston only to score
two goals. Gems’ determination paid off despite good play from Boston
League Three
BHS Blues 14 (players’ player award, Elouise)
BHS Blacks 11 (players’ player award, Demi Topliss)
A one-sided first quarter saw the Blues have the majority of possession and
they moved play well across the court. The Blacks were struggling to gain
possession and didn’t take advantage of the chances they created. The Blacks
improved as time passed making the end result close. It was a good effort by
all.
|
|
November 2:
League Two
BHS Reds 20 (players’ player award, Sophie Koe)
Boston B 7 players’ player award, Nikki Pratt)
Reds had most of the possession in the first quarter, taking the lead in the
process. The second quarter was a bit scrappy but also more even. Reds pull
away, although long balls into the circle let them down somewhat. Boston,
despite being a player short, battled well but the Reds retained their
advantage to pull out a good lead and win.
League Three
Endeavours B 26 (players’ player award, Elaine Roberts)
BHS Blue 9 (players’ player award, Emily Brader)
BHS made a positive start by defending well. But Endeavours fought hard to
take the lead. Endeavours stepped up the game and dominated as time went on
with BHS making a good effort and gaining a few goals back. But their reply
wasn’t enough to gain the win.
BHS u14s 19 (players’ player award, Ashley Frankish)
BHS u16s 11 (players’ player award, Demi Topliss)
The under-14s showed good shooting skills to have a 5-2 lead at the end of
the first quarter. Good use of space and passing from both teams saw the
match ebb and flow but the under-16s showed good marking skills. The u14s’
shooting was good and they had a 14-6 lead going into the last quarter. The
u16s upped their game to pull back to the final score but just could not
conquer the younger girls.

League Three
BHS U16 21
BHS U14 17
The U14s took an early lead but the U16s pulled back with determination to

7pm games
League One
Gems 23 (players’ player award, Eliza Hall)
Donington 9 (players’ player award, Laura Patton)
Donington got off to a good start after steady play from both sides. There
was also good defensive work from both sides that thwarted several goal
attempts. In the second quarter Gems showed good attacking work and their
defence managed to hold off their rivals. Donington continued to play well
and attacked hard, but good moving and accurate shooting
in the Gems circle gave them the lead in the third quarter. They then
continued the scoring to end up with a good victory.
League Two
TAS (final score not known, players’ player, Mandy
Stocks)
beat D Birds (players’ player award, Laura Brunton)
There was a close start to this game with both teams playing well. But TAS
led 5-3 after the first quarter. TAS pulled
away and D Birds couldn’t keep up the same sort of pace as TAS stretched
their lead to 12-5. D Birds defended well and tried hard but TAS still pulled
away with a 21-8 lead after the third quarter. TAS’s determination and
pressure caused D Birds to make mistakes in their accuracy of passes and
went on to record a good win, although exact details of the final scoreline
are not known.
League Three
Boston B 18
BHS U16 7
Fast and strong work was seen from both teams, notably with good defensive
work by BHS. The second quarter brought good shooting from Boston B and more
good defence from BHS. Boston B led 5-3. The third quarter started in a
speedy mode with accurate shooting and good attacking from Boston giving them
a 12-5 lead. BHS fought well and managed
to score two goals but their defence could not keep up with Boston’s better
attacking work.
8pm games
League Three
Endeavours A 16
BHS Shooting Stars 13
There was an evenly contested first quarter from both teams with good passing
and attacking work by each side. Endeavours opened a slight lead at 5-3. Good
passing and plenty of enthusiasm across centre court still left Endeavours
12-8 ahead. Shooting Stars then moved up a gear but an injury cut the quarter
short. The match continued to
be well fought and Shooting Stars started to pull back a few goals. But time
eventually ran out for them.
League Two
Gems II 24 (players’ player award, Fiona Nixon)
Endeavours B 7 (players’ player award, Jenny Briley)
Both teams started well with few errors in evidence. But Gems’ strong attack
gave them a 6-1 lead. Gems maintained their attacking work and also defending
well only to allow Endeavours only three goals in the opening stages. Gems
had the advantage in the third quarter due to Endeavours’ shooter Elaine
sustaining a suspected broken finger. Gems led
20-4 and then continued to pull away despite good all-round efforts from the
Endeavours team.
Changing times ahead
The first round of fixtures is now all completed. So it
is now all change with teams moving up and down the league tables.
Those on the move up are: TAS into League One and Boston
B into League Two. Going down are Donington into League Two and Endeavours B
into League Three. There will be another reshuffle in five weeks’ time. So it
is all to play for once again.

7pm games
League One
Gems 27 (players’ player award, Eliza
Hall)
Boston A 12 (players’ player award, Jane Welsh)
Both teams started off well and the scores were fairly even in the opening stages.

with Gems still in front after good performances from both sides.
League Two
BHS U16 11 (players’ player award, Danni Frankish)
Gems II 8 (players’ player award, Kate Belcher)

scrappy due to the court being wet under foot. Scores remained close but
Gems II dominated a low-scoring first quarter that ended 1-1. Gems continued
to dominate with a 5-1 lead going into the last quarter. However, a change of
shooter and a pick up in pace gave BHS the win in the last quarter when they
