Bedwell Netball Team has firmly established itself as a force to be reckoned with over the last few years, winning the Stevenage League three times in six years. The last 18 months have been particularly successful, with teams in action in both the Girls and Mixed leagues - you can find out more about how we've got on below...
Season update - March 25
Both our Girls and Mixed teams have kicked-off their seasons over the last few weeks. They both got off to a flying start with some relatively comfortable wins - but as the term has progressed, the matches have become harder, really testing the resolve and determination of our squads. Fortunately, both teams are filled with players who time and again show their ability to stay calm under pressure, ignore what’s going on around them and stick together when the going gets tough. As a result, both teams have made really strong starts to their seasons, and both are in contention at the top of their leagues as we move into the business end of the season.
Season update - June 24
Our two netball teams had an equally busy end to their seasons. The Mixed Netball team ended their undefeated year with a comfortable win at Woolenwick, and as a result won their league. Meanwhile, the Girls Netball team were in the hunt for the league title at Easter, but faced some tricky matches against the top teams in town to finish the season. One goal losses in really tight games against St Margarets, Shephalbury Park and St Nicholas saw them finish 5th out of 14 schools. Throughout the year, the girls represented our school with energy, determination and courage, with some of the team playing over 20 competitive matches, and they have been a great advertisement for Bedwell in every game.
