Stoke-on-trent Thursday Netball Update 12th March

The opening week of the Stoke-on-Trent Thursday Netball saw teams return to the court for the start of a new season. It was an enjoyable evening of netball, with all teams showing great effort and skill as the competition got underway.

Wildcats began the season strongly with a 19–2 win over Cherry Bombs. Despite the result, Cherry Bombs’ Lisa Hawley delivered an impressive individual performance, demonstrating consistency and accuracy throughout the match. Her efforts were recognised as she was named the league’s Most Valuable Player for the week, highlighting her positive contribution on court.

In another match, The Flames secured a 15–10 victory over Trent Tricksters after a competitive game. Both teams worked hard across the court, providing plenty of good passages of play.

The Swans and Game Of Throws also produced one of the closer contests of the evening. After a well-fought match, The Swans edged the result 16–13.

Hotshots enjoyed a strong start to their campaign with a 25–2 win against Stoke Storm, while Netbrawlers picked up a 13–3 victory over Pottery Pivoters in another solid performance.  Despite the loss, both Stoke Storm and Pottery Pivoters showed great effort and had fun with both teams showing great promise for the coming games.   

With the first round of fixtures now complete, the night is already shaping up to be an exciting competition. Teams will continue to build momentum as the season progresses, and there are plenty more matches ahead to look forward to.

Lisa Hawley’s standout performance in week one has set an early highlight for the season, and it will be interesting to see how teams and players develop over the coming weeks.
