April Newsletter Netball Workshop

We ran a Netball Workshop on Saturday 1st April and received very positive feedback - “Josie definitely enjoyed it and we felt it gave her a different perspective being involved with something that she would be doing at Uni and so talking to the girls there about their netball more so that just wandering around an open day, so I think it was very positive”, we are looking forward to our next workshop on Sunday 25th June.

We played friendly fixtures against the RAF Netball 1st and 2nd teams in preparation for their Inter-Services

Tournament.

UWNetball 1st team played friendly fixtures against Ryland Netball Club and Severn Stars U19 NPL side in preparation for Varsity. Our 1sts, 2nds, 3rds and 4ths all won their Varsity games against Gloucester University Netball Club

BUCS 1st Team to stay in Premier League!

After a difficult start to the season, it is fantastic news that our BUCS 1st team have been successful following their first year in BUCS Premier League and are staying in the League. The league is incredibly competitive as it includes Loughborough 1sts, Manchester 1sts and Northumbria 1sts, all very large Universities that have large numbers of talented players to pull from. UWNetball 1st team have done exception-ally well to compete at this level.

UWNetball hosted a C Award Umpire course, which external candidates as well as 2 x University of Worcester students attended.

UWNetball 3rd team finished their second undefeated league season and have gained promotion for the second season running! A massive achievement by the players, congratulations all.

Two UWNetballers made the short squad for Severn Stars; Rebecca Tildesley and Iona Darroch. Both students have taken to the court and made their super league debuts. Iona Darroch is making her mark and has received player of the match on three occasions!
