Weekly update from the Utoxeter Sunday league 4th February

Another good night of netball at Denstone College this week with all teams in attendance for their weekly round of matches.

Whilst it was good to see some close score lines I understand that there were a number of scrappy games throughout the evening resulting in the umpire reporting to us that a few players were close to being disciplined, which is very unusual for a social netball league. We don’t want injuries and in equal measure the umpire doesn’t want to be blowing the whistle every 5 seconds and killing the enjoyment of the game. Let’s not forget that’s why we play!

Everyone either has jobs to go to or the children to look after and no one wants to end up with unnecessary injuries from being over zealous in the matches.

To hear that a player refused to shake the hands of another isn’t what the league is about. I hope next week brings a different approach. or we will be forced to ask some players to look at playing elsewhere.

If anyone should have any queries then please feel free to contact us at head office on 01926 674440 and one of the team will happily help.

See you all next week.
