Pontins – 2-4 July 2010
Our Yr9 team, Thunder, not wanting to miss out on going to Pontins, had to go the weekend after the other teams. Again the weather was lovely, sunny, and hot! It seemed strange only going with one team but by no means less fun! |
| The whole team played excellently on Saturday qualifying for the Cup competition on Sunday. They came across some very tough opposition in their Cup group and although they played really well just missed out on qualifying for the knockout stage. |
Well done girls you all played some excellent netball! You are a credit to the club!

Pontins – 25-27 June 2010
Our annual end of season tournament which takes place over a weekend in Somerset! The weather was absolutely fantastic and the sunshine held out all weekend! | 
|
| Both our Yr7 teams, Storm and Blizzard attended as did our first Yr8 team, Hurricanes. Unfortunately not all our Yr 6 players were available and so only one team was entered being an amalgamation of both squads. |
All our teams played really well on the Saturday resulting in Hurricanes and Storm qualifying for the Cup competition and the Yr6s and Blizzard qualifying for the Plate. | 
|
| Sunday arrived and all our teams were up early and raring to go! All four teams played well in their respective competitions and all narrowly missed out in qualifying for their semi finals. |
Well done girls you all played some excellent netball! You are a credit to the club!

Chelmsford Rally – 9th May 2010
With our first teams playing yesterday it was decided to give the second teams an outing, along with the U11s.
Although none of them made it through to the playoffs Cyclone, Blizzard, and Tornadoes all played really well against some very tough opposition.
Well done Girls!
Cranfield Rally – 8th May 2010
Again, another wet and miserable day! Where has our summer gone!
However, despite the weather Storm, Hurricanes, and Thunder all played excellently with Storm coming second in their group and Hurricanes and Thunder finishing first.
And, so to the quarter finals! Storm won theirs but, unfortunately, due to injury, went into the semi’s with only six players, which, despite a very valiant effort they lost. Thunder also lost in their semi finals. Hurricanes, however, continued through and finished the day as winners. Well done to them!
Manor Rally – 2nd May 2010
Despite the weather being very wet and miserable all our teams played very well!
Due to a lack of entries the U13s and U14s were combined and played as a ‘Round Robin’ to give everyone plenty of games. However, the results were broken down into the individual age groups.
The U11s and U12s were in groups and played semi finals and finals.
Hurricanes played some very close games, even beating some of the U14 teams; they finished second in the U13 group. Thunder too had some very tight games and finished third in their U14 group.
Cyclone, our U11 team, played very well but unfortunately did not qualify for the semifinals.
Storm also played some excellent netball, finishing in second place, and only losing one game by one goal! This meant that they qualified for the semis; which they won. The final was a repeat of the game between the first and second placed teams in the group stage. Again, a very closely fought game which, unfortunately, they lost, but very well done! Here’s to next time!
CUCT Rally – 25th April 2010
This is the first time that we have attended this tournament!
It was agreed that Thunder would be entered in the U15 section. However, when the Order of Play was received the U13s and U14s were combined and the U15s and U16s were combined. The U12s were in their own group.
The weather was mixed with sunshine and showers and, although it was a long day some excellent netball was played.
Each group played a ‘Round Robin’ Rally and what excellent results!
|
Storm won all their games and finished the day as winners! Hurricanes, despite playing some U14 teams also won all their games finishing as winners of the group. Thunder had a particularly hard rally as they were playing not only teams one year older but teams that were two years older than our girls! |
However, they too had a good rally winning all their games apart from one. This was against the eventual winners and they only lost this game by one goal!
Well done to everyone! What excellent results! |  |
Thurrock Rally – 11th October 2009
As always a brilliant rally!
Even the weather was kinder to us this year with only a couple of showers in the afternoon!
Both Cyclone (Yr6) and Storm (Yr7) played a ‘round robin’ tournament in their age groups meeting 9 and 10 teams respectively. Included in these teams were clubs that they had met previously at Asco and improvements were made against these. Cyclone had mixed results and finished in the middle of their group. Storm only lost two games but scored points in both resulting in them finishing in 2nd place behind Turnford and, therefore, winners of the runners up medals!
Hurricanes (Yr8) and Thunder (Yr9) were split into two pools with semi finals and finals deciding the winner and runner up. Both teams finished 1st in their respective pools. They also won their semi finals and met Turnford in their respective finals. Two very hard fought matches which each narrowly lost finishing as runners up.
Well done to all our teams you are a credit to the club!
Asco Rally – 20th September 2009
Our first tournament of the season!
After the team selections at the beginning of the season Cyclone (Yr6), Storm (Yr7), Hurricanes (Yr8), and Thunder (Yr9) all went to Cheshunt. Although cold the weather was dry and sunny. It was a long day but the teams settled down very quickly and played some excellent netball!
This was our Under 11 team’s first rally and they had some challenging games but for their first outing Cyclone did very well. Storm also had some close games and finished 3rd in their group, narrowly missing out on qualifying for the semi finals.
Hurricanes scored points in all their games and finished fourth in their group and Thunder also had close games. They finished 3rd in their group and just missed qualifying for the semi finals.
Well done to everyone and here’s to next time!
