Netball tournament for Newbury players is a success in Reading

A back to Netball tournament was held at the John Madejski Academy in Reading on Saturday, with six teams taking part.

Ten Newbury Back to Netballers took part, some who have been training for a couple of years and others who joined this summer.

Most players hadn’t played for 15 to 25 years, while one had never competed before.

The group works on fitness and ball skills and play games at Monday night sessions at Kennet School, Thatcham, from 6.30pm to 8pm.

Newbury played well to win two matches, draw one and finish fourth overall.

They plan to attend another tournament on December 19.
