What a delightful evening it was at Rutland Sports Park for the eighth week of casual social netball! The park was buzzing with a welcoming, friendly atmosphere, as players of all experience levels congregated to enjoy another great evening of netball. The camaraderie was palpable, and the spirit of the game was truly alive.

The first game saw Shooting Stars go up against Rutland Rebels, ending with a score of 11 - 3 in favour of Rutland Rebels. Both teams demonstrated an amazing level of sportsmanship throughout the match. Their positive energy was inspiring, and despite the scoreline, it was clear that everyone enjoyed themselves.

The second match of the evening was between Defend Divas and Shoot Your Shot. The final score was 19 - 5, with Shoot Your Shot finishing on a high note. Both teams showed their commendable commitment to the game, and their teamwork was a sight to behold. The positive energy on the court was infectious, making the game an enjoyable event played in great spirit.

In the last match of the evening, One Hit Wonders played against Pivoters, finishing with a score of 17 - 6. The game was a showcase of the spirit of social netball, with both teams playing in a friendly, supportive environment. The shared laughter and camaraderie were more important than the final score, and the positive vibe made it a night to remember.

A special mention goes to this week's Most Valued Player, Elizabeth Barratt from Shooting Stars. Elizabeth’s enthusiasm and movement around the court were impressive, truly embodying the spirit of social netball. Her positive contribution to the game was appreciated by teammates and opponents alike.

Looking ahead, Week 9 promises another enjoyable evening of social netball. It's not just about keeping active, but also about meeting new people, developing netball skills, and having fun in a supportive environment.
