Fundraising ... for your club
Kingsmill Free Kit for Clubs: As you know grass roots sports are seriously under-funded, which is why Kingsmill, in association with the CCPR and with the endorsement of “On the Ball” presenter Gabby Logan, decided to get the ball rolling.  Kingsmill Free Kit for Clubs offers sports clubs the opportunity to collect for free kit and equipment across a wide range of sporting activities.  Kingsmill are constantly updating the scheme in response from feedback from participants, so if you have visited the site already be sure to look for new kit and equipment available!  Many thousands of clubs have registered on the scheme, but we are sure there are plenty more out there who could benefit from free kit and equipment.  And with tokens on packs until August 2004, there is plenty of time for everyone to collect! How to Collect: All you have to do to earn free kit and equipment for your club is register online at www.kingsmillkitforclubs.com or alternatively you can call 0870 60 60 090; calls charged at National Rates (or from ROI call 0044 870 60 60 090; calls charged at International Rates). Remember, once one person from your club (aged 18 or over) has registered you do not need to register again.

3rd July 2003 STORM at Pontins

   < STORM Force 12 (from left to right) : Paige, Georgina, Natalie, Kirsty, Martha, Lucy, Sarah and Emma.

STORM Force 13 (from left to right) : Shivali, Rebecca, Heather, Claudia, Josie, Erin, Joanna and Emma. > 

STORM Force 12: They won one match on Saturday morning against the Pil Titans and finished 6th in their group at the end of the tournament on Sunday afternoon. Although they did not do very well in some of the matches, they kept the drive and determination all through the tournament, not once they looked defeated, they certainly made it hard for the opposing team. My special thank you to Fran (Paige's mum) and her friend Lorna, who helped tremendously the whole weekend and looked after the U12 team beautifully.

STORM Force 13: They started the tournament on Saturday morning in a very high note, after winning against Bridgewater NC, they also won against Dinno Dynamites and drew against Finchampstead.  On Sunday morning, they again started the day by wining against Bridgewater NC and later drawing against Mayflower and Coca Cola. They ended up in 3rd position in their group, which was a good result. 

Both U12 and U13 teams played against lots of teams they had never played before, some of them very good indeed, it was a very interesting experience.  Apart from the netball, the girls enjoyed using the rest of the facilities at Pontins, the swimming, the go-karting, the arcade, the disco.... there was also a fair ground very close to Pontins, so quite a few of us went to the fair on Saturday evening, (Great Fun!!!) just before we returned to Pontins for a bit of a dance. The atmosphere was really good and I really think we will be going back to Pontins next year.  Mari-Carmen

Unfortunately All England Netball has advised that these games will not be televised.  But you can watch www.netballnz.co.nz for results! 

Our team itself is called C&S Construction Joinery Limited and we have been playing together for around 5 years.  We are currently playing within the Premier Division on the island although I wouldn't say we were at county level.  So therefore would prefer to play against teams of our own standard.
