England Netball is calling on its members to take on a Refuge run to help raise funds for their vital services. Refuge can offer members places in a number of high profile events and is currently recruiting for the BUPA London 10,000 on 25 May (bank holiday Monday).

This is a fantastic central London 10k with a spectacular route tipped to form part of the 2012 Olympics marathon course. You’ll run past landmarks including Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, St Paul’s Cathedral and Trafalgar Square. 

All Refuge runners are offered a free professional running vest, full fundraising pack, 10k training plan and online sponsorship page. To secure places for you and your team email fundraising@refuge.org.uk or call 020 7395 7724. 

Remember to tell them you’re an England Netball member!

Yatton Youth -v- Yatton Allsorts in a nail biting match. Tash Miles (gs) for Yatton Youth pulled out all the stops and hardly missed a goal with help from Lauren Waring (ga).  Great centre court play from Kelsey Symes (c) and player of the match Lucy Okeden (wa) with Katie Young and Jess Clemence putting in stirling performances although not in their normal positions and with great defence from Jess Reece, Yatton Youth went on to win the match 37 - 34.

Score 30-23 

Yatton 2 started off strong, with good all round game play from all, taking the lead by 4 goals.

The second quarter proved tougher and Panthers managed to claw back the score line to 15-13. Yatton maintained the lead, but made the game hard for themselves. Good defending from Katie Colman and Debs Underwood helped to keep Panthers at bay, and in the forth quarter the game seemed to flow better. Good shooting from Hannah Perry and Claire Kingston-Lee helped them to secure the win, still keeping them in contention for promotion.

Players of the match went to Katie Colman and Hannah Perry.

Important Time Changes

Due to so many girls wanting to play netball on a Monday night and the club entering 2 Junior teams in the Bristol League, the coaches have decided to split the session to enable us to meet the coaching needs of the girls. Therefore as of the 22^nd September 08 Monday nights will be divided as follows:

5pm-6pm Hi 5s Yr 5 and Yr 6

5.30pm-6.30pm Yr 7 and Yr 8

7pm-8pm Yr 9 and Yr 10

We hope these changes do not cause too many difficulties but we feel they will allow us to develop the girls’ skills and match play more effectively. Any problems, please speak to one of the coaches (Claire 01934 833115)

The club shop will be open on the 2^nd Monday of the month between 6pm and 7pm to buy kit. Order forms are also available. Check the noticeboard for price details.

Yatton 20, Weston 3 18.
 
In a physical game of netball Yatton held their own and came out the victors. It was a great all round effort, with accurate shooting under pressure from Sharon and Donna, great support play around the attacking circle by Andrea and Sian, and some fantastic defending and anticipation of play in the newly formed dynamic defence of Liz and Tor. Thanks must go to Jess who was a late addition to the team on the day who played really well. Players of the match goes to Liz and Tor for superb defending which kept Yatton ahead of the game, well done!

Weston Summer League,

 Wed 30th July  Yatton v Weston Demons 3:

Yatton  35 - 4  Weston Demons 3

  We started the game at a fast pace with passes constantly hitting our own players deep in the opposing half. The experience of our team shone through over the whole match and showed with result in score. It was good to see the strenght and deepth that we are putting together with Alice Wilcox, Sophie Hayward and Natasha Miles all playing their first games in the senior side from the juniors. They definitely held their own and shows Yatton netball team has a strong future.
