BRIGG and DISTRICT NETBALL CLUB

Well we Are back - not all fit I report: Well what a weekend for the u15 team! We left Brigg all in good spirits after many girls having exams at school prior to departing. We arrived - due to traffic a little latter than expected - but all still looking forward to the weekend - had something to eat / drink and found our apartments etc. Sat - the rain was coming down - bank holiday style - but we started the tournament against Cheshire - and after being 6 - 1 down at half time pulled it back to 10 - 7 winning the second half but not by enough to take the game -we played a few more games - with a Drawn and losing by only 1 goal - and we started to Gel together - then Lucy went down - and that was the end of the tournament for her. The other girls took turns in defence and on Sunday Emily stayed there most of the time - but this time the rain had stopped and the wind blow - in fact if the posts were sunken into the ground - they wouldn't of stayed up! The girls all gave 100% and got involved in making decisions on team substitutes etc - to take real ownership of the team / games. we finished 5th but had a great time. We then went into town and went bowling  (Mark won I need to report!) and skiing - no injuries - so we were doing well, but after tea - things changed and and a fun evening on the dodgems turned into a trip to the local A&E for Vanessa and Emily - who returned with a pot on her wrist - and Sophie with ice packs on her knee - so out of the nine fit girls we returned with 6 - but spirits were still high and the team had bonded - so we now look forward to the coming tournaments and next year as u16s in the league.
what a team Sophie / Emily / Lucy / Mollie / Molly / Beckie / Emma /Laura & Devon - well done girls! and a speedy recovery to Lucy / Emily & Sophie
