THE GOOD NEWS ...
The
organisers would like to thank the players and officials of the all the
teams that took part, and all the prize donors - we raised over £3000
for the SPARKS charity. THE NOT SO GOOD NEWS ...
We
had to halt the tournament at around 3:30pm. There was a huge
downpour, a short STORM ! The courts were waterlogged and the organisers
asked the team coaches if they wanted to continue and consensus was to go
home. We are sorry that the tournament, which was going so well
until the rain, had be stopped, but we really had no choice.
We also lost our St John's ambulance cover during the storm because an
emergency call making it doubly dangerous to continue. SOME
TEAMS ENJOYED THEMSELVES ...
"Just a note from Crawley Down
Netball Club to thank you for having us at your tournament. The
girls had a great experience and learnt a lot from watching more able players.
Keep up the good work, we did not have any reason to be in any way unhappy with
all the hard work put in by the organisers. Thank
you for hosting such a worth while tournament. Kate
& Alan As
far as we are concerned, the safety of the girls at our tournaments are
paramount, whatever the circumstances.

All prizewinners have been notified and prizes
claimed. Thank you all for contributing to this charity event which has raised
in excess of £3500 for SPARKS.
Unfortunately I have had to delete a
forum thread on our tournament as we have
had complaints from the parents/officials of the team involved, please keep
comments general - all personal comments, or comments aimed at particular teams,
will be deleted.
To answer some of the points:
-
we are sorry we missed the 2 minutes silence
for Remembrance Day, we forgot and nobody reminded us!
-
we are sorry we could not award the trophies,
the weather beat us.
-
we are sorry that some umpiring decisions
were not to the supporters liking, that's life ! (all umpires were neutral)
-
the tournament officials never received any
complaints at the time of the competition for dangerous play, this would
have been the most appropraite thing to do.
-
the results have been posted on this web page
for quite sometime, please
go here
-
we are grateful for the generosity and good
spirit of 99% of the people present, that allowed us to collect over £3000
for charity despite the poor weather.
-
PLEASE do not use our web site to propagate a
negative side of netball, positive comments only, as Thumper was forced to
say, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all !"
