Umpiring Course

Written by Lorna
Friday, 22 August 2008
We shall be holding an "In House" umpiring course on Wednesday September 10th and Wednesday September 17th - Elaine is going to take this course. Theory will be on the 10th and practical on 17th, both at Hanson. If you want to be involved, please let Sue or your captain know ASAP. If you are not involved please do be aware that this is taking place, as we shall need to use training for the practical on the 17th. We desperately need umpires to be qualified for Teams 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 - so the more the merrier!

This year the Tournament will be run in a different format. Matches will be played in the morning period and teams will then be regrouped for the afternoon.

The finishing time will be dependent on the number of entries.

Refreshments will available on sale at the Tournament and it is hoped that players will take advantage of this. In addition, Monkhouse InterSport will have 2 stalls selling netball clothing and equipment at discounted prices.

We would like as many teams as possible to participate in the Tournament, as it is being held in memory of Anne Hillyard. Anne is remembered by many of us with fondness. Her tenacity and competitiveness on court led to many lively games and her kind and caring nature off-court made her a great person to know. She was a key member of the Harrogate & District Netball League for many years, giving her time and energy to her favourite sport. With this in mind, an Entry fee of £15.00 per team is being charged. This will be solely a donation to a charity chosen by Anne’s daughters, Wendy and Sue.

The Anne HillyardTournament 2008 will be run according to Harrogate & District Netball League Tournament Rules.

Two stipulations are that:

Teams must provide an umpire( minimum Beginner Award) for their games
All players must be first affiliated for the 2008/09 season to the Club they are playing for. Under no circumstances will a player be able to take to court without affiliation as these will be checked!

Please bring a raffle prize on the day for each team entered.

Don’t forget your gazebo and chairs!

To enter please complete the attached Entry form and send, together with your cheque for £15.00 made payable to Harrogate & District Netball League

Summer Tournament 2008

Written by Lorna
Friday, 23 May 2008
Last weekend saw the annual summer tournament held at Hanson School, with an excellent turnout despite pretty horrible weather as the day went on. There were 16 teams in all, and the tournament started with short round-robin groups before being split into cup and plate competitions, with another group round followed by semi-finals and then finals. It was great to see so many other clubs there and catch up with everyone before the long summer break. As usual Shipley had a good turnout of teams with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th and under-16 squads playing - well done to the under-16s for playing so well against the ladies' teams! Great thanks and appreciation is also due to the organisers, umpires and supporters who turned out on the day and made the whole thing go so smoothly. Here's hoping for better weather next year ...
