Play-offs for the last six places saw Sneyd Green and St Mary’s RC drawing 3 all in a nail biting play-off for 5th and 6^th place, Packmoor beat Hillside 5-1 for 3^rd place and the final between Carmountside and Hanley St Luke’s saw Carmountside winning 2-0.

In October, 56 leaders from North Stoke gained their Young Netball Organisers Award. Without the hard work and commitment of the Young Netball Leaders from each of the secondary schools, the competition would not have taken place. They did an excellent job umpiring the whole tournament, as well as assisting players to complete their officiating roles as scorers and centre pass markers.

Thank you to all the teachers and parents who supported the event and a personal thank you to Emma Warren the Netball Development Officer, Richard Adams the North Stoke Competition Manager and Dave Gould North Stoke SSCo for their support and help in running the event.
