On a huge night for the sport, England’s dramatic last-gasp win over hosts Australia in the netball final at the Commonwealth Games in April was voted sporting moment of the year. The netballers also claimed the team of the year gong, beating off competition from Europe’s Ryder Cup stars, the Ireland rugby team and the England football team.

Away from the elite level of the game, England Netball have been trailing a new version of the sport to appeal to women of all ages. Our Walking Netball Group is part of this trail.

Unlike the English Netball Team we didn’t win any awards but we enjoy ourselves every Friday morning at West Lancashire College.

If you are interested in joining us please contact Margaret Ashton on 0151 285 1817 or call at the Group Support Table on Tuesday mornings. Lifts can be organised from Maghull Square.
