TEAM: I.Khalique C.Orr G.Bolton F.James K.Wallace R.Cushnie G.Hay F.Bowen F.Symes Umpire/TM: Claire Appleby

REPORT: A good evening of netball. This was an opportunity to try players in different combinations & positions. The players showed that they can adapt to new positions, shooting accurately & moving well in the attacking circle.

The defence worked well throughout & remembered to mark the ball when the opposition had possession as well as getting interceptions.

The centre court played some great netball & showed accuracy in their passing & finding space down the court.

Well done girls keep up the hartd work.

TEAM: F.Symes F.Bowen M.Turner S.Dance S.Diop J.Lindsey C.Strang E.Craig P.Holdstock I.Loveridge Umpire: Jenny Knight TM: Louise Loveridge 

REPORT: A good morning of netball Cliftonettes won 19-0. All players got to play 40 minutes & played in at least 2 positions. There were moments of brilliance with some excellent shooting & very good team work but thereare still some areas to be worked on.

Well done girls & thank you to Louise & Jenny for looking after the squad this morning for me.

U11 WHITE: M.Saunders H.Carter M.Hardy S.Telfer-Smith A.Doleman O.Wood S.Pokorny B.Bright Umpire: S.Bright Coach/TM: Gill Barradell

Report: A good day, weather was lovely. The girls played really well with improvement evident by the end of the tournament. The practices that the team did in between games made a big difference to their performance in the matches especially in intercepting the ball. Well done everyone.

Coach: Kathryn Gubas Umpire: Carolyn Robinson- thank you

Again, you all coped very well until we were up against the 'big under 15's'. The Newark players were tough opponents, but with a bit more height, I think you would beat Kimberley. It was E.Sunderland's initiation at this tough tournament, she was obviously nervous (unusually so for her) but soon settled & played well. K.Bowen was decked by an U13 player but thankfully not seriously injured just a lot of bruising. We ended the morning as Runner's Up in the Under 14 section AGAIN!

E.Davies voted as PLAYER OF THE TOURNAMENT by her own players (and me)- 'brilliant as ever'!

Worried coach Kathryn Gubas- hope that I am not expecting too much of you?

UNDER 13 GOLD PLAYER'S REPORT: by P.Rimmer & A.Wakefield

Once upon a time there was an U13 Gold netball team for Cliftonettes Netball Club. They went to Horncastle & once there found that they were playing in an U14 division. They were scared but gave it a go. They would have a big disadvantage in their netballing lives, careers, social netballing life, school netball if they didn't. The first match was great WOOHOO! They beat Horncastle Black 8-4. P.Rimmer & E.Sunderland were shooting, R.Forrest WA, G.Yates C, E.Bright WD, B.Corker GD & E.Walsh GK.

COACH'S REPORT by Ami Knight: The team found it difficult playing in an older age group but tried their best throughout the day & never let their results get them down. P.Rimmer played most of her games in shooting positions & consistently got her shots in. E.Sunderland & G.Yates swapped between C & shooting positions, passing & shooting well wherever they played.A.Wakefield played WA & although smaller than her opponents, she used her speed to dodge & get into positions to receive passes. R.Forrest, E.Walsh, E.Bright & B.Corker all rotated in defence & centre court using their versatility to adapt their game & get some good interceptions.

Player of the Tournament: E.Sunderland for her consistent passing & shooting

Most Improved Player: G.Yates for her increased confidence & improved scoring & passing skills.

ROYAL SQUAD: L.Cottam S.Lawrence E.Davies C.Southwell G.James A.Jarvis C.Dickinson M.Johnson

UNDER 13 ROYAL PLAYER'S REPORT: by E.Davies & C.Southwell

Royal team began with a fantastic win against Cliftonettes U14s. This was followed by a close victory against Horncastle Yellow & then a close game with Horncastle Red (the eventual division winners) which Royal eventually lost. We then faced fellow club team Gold winning in a friendly but competitive game. Lost to Hucknall Town but  followed that by an amazing win over Horncastle Black. The last match was very tight with Royal coming from behind to beat Allestree Hornets.

COACH'S REPORT by Ami Knight: The Royal team played fantastically well in every match. C.Dickinson & A.Jarvis shot well throughout the day, playing in both shooting positions. Both players played in other positions adapting their skills well. C.Southwell, G.James & M.Johnson rotated in centre court & wherever they played they contributed massively to the games holding the team together. E.Davies & L.Cottam played in attack & defence, their versatility meant that the team always worked well. S.Lawrence had a fantastic day in defence- her impeccable timing & incredible interceptions contributed to her selection as Player of the Tournament. Most Improved Player was A.Jarvis after a slow start she picked up her game & became one of the most influential players on the team.

UNDER 14 SQUAD: C.Ashley R.James L.Ison O.Bolton L.Borrie A. Blackmore J.Mawhood A.Saccoh Team Manager: Gill Barradell

REPORT: Due to having a new combination of players we did not start too well. After the first 2 games & some coaching inbetween we never looked back. The defence really became good, well done to J.Mawhood & A.Saccoh for listening & performing. Everyone on court gave their best effort. There are still a few errors that need to be sorted, but everyone learnt something to improve their own game.

It is pleasing to see the improvement, the positive atmosphere & enjoyment shown by the players. Well done to everyone.

Tournament Team Player: J.Mawhood (that extra effort made such a difference- you looked great)!

REPORT: Well played to everyone for keeping positive despite strange decisions in the first game, not allowing the result to affect the way you all played for the duration of the tournament & doing really well in an U16 division. You continued to give 100 percent.

During each match all players made exceptional interceptions & turned the ball over many times to our advantage, capitalising by scoring some great goals.

Be confident in your ability & enjoy the participation & well as improving your performance through that confident play.Well played everyone!

The players & I had a lovely day. They are tried their hardest resulting in a very pleasing Runners-up place. There were some brilliant skills on display on court & their behaviour & good manners off court were also exceptional. Well done to many of the players on their excellent performance when playing out of position. Sacha's shooting was absolutely fab, she hardly missed all day, Zoe made some great interceptions & Emily played the best netball I have seen her play. It was a good tournament with fantastic sportsmanship shown in all games.

Thanks for a great day & well done girls!

REPORT: Well done to all 7 players on a cold evening. All players played well in their first glimpse of the teams that compete in the Nottinghamshire Netball Association Winter League.

All players made outstanding contributions through interceptions, closing down the opposition's space & scoring goals. The new combination meant that the players had to be positive & work hard to ensure good team play. Well Done!!

RED SQUAD: L.Cottam P.Rimmer G.Yates G.James M.Johnson R.Forrest B.Yazdani B.Corker

REPORT: Great opening to the season 23 U13s turned out at 9.00am on Saturday morning. It was sunny & hot so we played 5 minutes each way twice. All were close games which would have been even closer but for an early injury. Fortunately the player was back on her feet for the last game for GOLD which they won 7-3.

Team Managers team players & final results:

RED = 16 points Team Player: G.James & G.Yates

ROYAL = 9 points Team Player: G.Goulding

GOLD = 8 points Team Player S.Cole

Could not decide between James (C) & Yates (WA) awesome combination. Outstanding WD by Goulding remember you do not have to say sorry for playing great netball! Finally great movement, great timing & great shooting by Cole (GS).

I hope that you all enjoyed it, I know I did?

REPORT: Although not the best tournament for results the girls enjoyed the weekend and the weather was absolutely perfect for netball. Quite a few of the U12s were not available due to other commitments so thank you to the two U11s who played for this team & did a fabulous job despite being a year younger. The competition was tough & having to adjust to playing with different players was difficult. The girls tried their hardest & the results do not reflect the tremendous effort shown by the players in every match throughout the 2 day tournament. Team Manager: Emma Alvey

UNDER 13 SQUAD: R.Owen C.Dickinson A.Jarvis G.James E.Davies S.Lawrence K.Bowen L.Cottam C.Southwell M.Johnson (Sat. only) H.Fowler (Sat. only)

REPORT: Absolutely brilliant start to the season. We had 11 players on Saturday which can be difficult but these are team players always putting the team first not themselves. We had a really tough section with both TURNFORD & OLDHAM not to mention HERTFORD HORNETS. An excellent start beating both BLACKPOOL 11-4 & YENDYS 5-2. We lost to the other three teams but won the final game against BIRMINGHAM 8-6 qualifying for the CUP!

Sunday arrives & we are in a win win situation. To play against the top teams in the country is just what the players needed. Now they know what standard to aim for. Their best achievement was holding Turnford (eventual U13 winners) to only 6 goals. Our defence line-up was exceptional Lawrence, Davies & Bowen. We nearly beat TAMESIDE losing by only one goal in the last few seconds 2-3.

We came 7th overall but had the personal satisfaction of knowing that we would have won the Plate having beaten five of the teams in that competition including Birmingham (Plate winners) & Hucknall (Plate runners up).

A very successful weekend, a great effort especially just coming back after the summer break. Team Manager: Kathryn Gubas

REPORT: The teams in this division traditionally presented strong opposition & meant that there were not going to be any easy matches. This did not deter the squad. Unfortunately we lost every match but the players were positive, supportive & sporting at all times. The team needs to concentrate on keeping possession to get the ball into the shooting area (& also to tie their hair back so that they can see better & concentrate on their play, you know who you are girls)!

On Sunday teams were regrouped according to Saturday's results. We played some of the same teams again & reduced the number of goals they scored this time. The highlight on Saturday was the game where all the squad played in different positions, Titch excelled as GK & Beth as C (first time out of defence).

REPORT: What a fantastic day! The girls should be proud of themselves, Jo & I certainly are! Players had to undergo a selection process at training since we could only enter one team in this regional event. The players were observed during training sessions by the coaches & the junior coach mentor. The selected squad did a fantastic job, each giving 100 percent at all times when on court, scoring 89 goals & conceeding only 10! This excellent achievement of first place ended our day with big smiles all round. The girls made me proud to be their coach & team manager & were brilliant ambassadors for the club.

SQUAD: A. Barnes O.Dadge M.Day E.Wood N.Milton S.McGowan-Crewe W.McGowan-Crewe I.McGowan-Crewe L.Brittain M.Ledwith

REPORT: The players had a great weekend, the weather was absolutely fabulous & it was a new experience for the girls. Initially the players found it difficult to settle into the games on the Saturday due to having different combinations & positional changes & the higher standard of the opposition that we had not experienced often. After a good meal & fun at the fair on Saturday evening the girls woke up on Sunday morning with a fighting spirit & were raring to go. In the Plate competition on the Sunday these attributes became apparent throughout the day since the squad won all 6 games in the group stage! This winning streak was sadly terminated by Manor in the semi-finals who beat us 7-8. Very disappointing for the players but they should be proud of their achievements throughout the weekend.

Thank you to the umpires for their help & hard work & also to my U11 squad for making the weekend so enjoyable.

Player's Player: S.McGowan-Crewe Team Manager's Player: E.Wood

A wonderful weekend even the weather kept brilliant for us. In trying to get as many games as possible for all the players this does not always enhance their play- swapping & changing positions.However this is really good experience for their development.

ROYAL SQUAD: L.Cottam E.Davies C.Dickinson H.Fowler G.James M.Johnson R.Owen P.Rimmer C.Southwell were very supportive of each other which was evident on court.They had one of the toughest draws against clubs like Turnford & Woodley. They WON 2 DREW 1 LOST 4 on the Saturday qualifying for the Plate competition. LOST to Swan (another big club) DREW with WCNC & WON the other 2 matches easily. This meant that WCNC went through to the play-offs.

Team members were asked if they could select a player's player of the weekend (they have set a trend). Royal squad voted for M.JOHNSON. As her confidence grew & she settled down, interception after interception just kept coming her way.Ecxellent play & a good choice.

After giving it much thought I wanted to select everyone for Coach's Player of the Tournament. You really do ALL deserve recognition, however, I selected R.OWEN because of her constant determination & effort against some very tough defence. Always positive in her play in whichever position she was put.

WELL DONE TO EVERYONE.

Special thanks to Sue, your help & support is very much appreciated.

Claire I could not have done without you. Thank you for managing the GOLD SQUAD.

REPORT: Amazing performances yet again from both teams. I would like to say a massive thank you to three U11 players I.McGowan-Crewe, W.McGowan-Crewe & S.McGowan-Crewe for helping out the U12s by playing up an age group.

The players played well with strong, accurate passing & good footwork (in most cases). The defending was fantastic with some amazing interceptions especially from M.Day & the attacking players got into some good spaces working the ball around the circle to make excellent feeds into the circle players. An enjoyable & successful day, thank you girls!!
