Lichfield Spires Netball Club

8/11/2018

 
Lichfield Spires Netball club first formed off the back of a session aiming to get women back into the game; Back to Netball. Fast forward almost 5 years and the now affiliated club offer netball across the Lichfield district to all ages. 

The club has seen particular growth this year launching its new junior section, which has grown every week since starting. The first sessions ran in March and since then the club has welcomed over 100 girls aged from 7-15 years old. The club also held its first junior tournament and in September entered the Staffordshire County Junior League for the 2018/19 season. 

Earlier in the year the club also started hosting England Netball’s newest form of the game; Walking Netball, in association with Lichfield District Council. This session has hugely benefited the local community, and the group even won their first trophy at the county Walking Netball festival in September. The Walking Netballers have also joined the club in volunteering roles and can be seen wearing the Spires club kit!

Established in 1947, the Stafford and District Netball league is celebrating a big birthday this year, its 70th anniversary! The league has gone from strength to strength as every season passes, seeing more teams entering, and offers competitive netball in the area to women and girls of all ability levels. At present the league has 19 teams playing in two divisions across 3 sites in the Stafford borough.

The league also hosts England Netball’s newest version of the game; Walking Netball along with Netball Now sessions throughout the summer months, offering 12 months of non-stop netball in the area.
Without the dedication of its volunteers spanning across 70 years, netball in the borough simply wouldn’t be as thriving as it is today.

​Staffordshire’s first Walking Netball festival

7/9/2018

 
On Monday 3rd September 2018 seven teams from around the county came together at Stafford Manor High School for the counties very first Walking Netball festival.

The festival teams came from Newcastle under Lyme, Hednesford, Walsall, Lichfield, Burton upon Trent and Stafford. There was varying levels of experience with some sessions having played together for 2 years and others for as little as 7 weeks, but that didn’t stop anyone from having a great time.

The festival was played in a round robin format meaning all teams played each other once. Throughout the day the comradery between teams was wonderful to see, with some definitely taking the competition seriously! After lunch the points between the top 3 were very close and we knew the final result was going to come down to goal difference.

The final results were:
1st place – Lichfield Spires
2nd place – Stafford Diamonds
3rd place – Stafford Rubies
4th place – Newcastle under Lyme
5th place – Park Lime Walkers
6th place – Burton
7th place – Hednesford

A huge thank you to the Walking Netball hosts who gave up their free time to support their teams, in addition to umpiring the games. We also had 3 Walking Netballers umpire and play, so a special thank you to Jean, Wendy and Bernie. During the festival there was also a small cake sale which raised £30.50 for Cancer Research UK.

We are now really looking forward to our next festival in 2019! To find out more about Walking Netball in Staffordshire visit: https://www.englandnetball.co.uk/my-game/walking-netball/  or contact your local Netball Development Officer; Kate Woods on [email protected] or 07545 924957.
