,On the 17th of August, we competed in a match against our partners. We thought this would be a nice way to celebrate the end for 2 of our players who are leaving us. Once we explained and demonstrated all of the rules to the men, they really got into the game and thought they could beat us! They had never played netball, or played together before, so bearing this in mind, they did really well! Unfortunately, most of our partners were a lot taller than us, so they could easily intercept passes. Luckily, we all had so much fun doing so and we were able to get to know each other and their partners further. Thankfully, us ladies beat the partners 30-13! We are looking forward to our next match...

On the 1st of August, we had a friendly netball match against Mill Green cricket club. We have done this in the past, but as one of the cricketers was leaving and one of our own players was leaving too, they wanted to play again before they both left. It was such a laugh! The men always try so hard, especially as they think they are going to beat us...but that hasn't happened yet! It is very interesting to observe the different ways the men play, compared to our ladies. The men jump much higher than us, so intercept a lot of passes! We are so lucky to have a club, where players are happy to watch, to play or to officiate, just to be involved one way or another. Until next time Mill Green!
