Netball

Looking for Sports Results and Fixtures?

Organiser: MFB

Meet - every Wednesday afternoon, either on the Netball court (next to the Dutch Barn) or at the minibuses if we have an away fixture. Times vary depending on whether we are playing home or away. I try to arrange as many fixtures as possible during the Netball season (Autumn and Spring terms) so that the team get to play as much competitive Netball as possible.
