After years of honing set plays and individual passing skills the Parwich Ladies Netball Team have finally reached the dizzying heights of CHAMPIONS OF THE LEEK INDOOR WINTER LEAGUE!!!!!!

The season has been one of nail biting end to end matches with great athleticism and stamina being demanded from all players. The post baby tummies have been replaced with 6 packs. Explosive muscle power in the legs has resulted in some very shapely calves. Excessive use of over head and chest passes has caused a certain pertness in the bosom which can only be of benefit for the dress choice for the prize giving ceremony!

The defence of Sarah (the long legged blonde), Nia (the aging mother of 4) and Alex (the bouncy night nurse) have gelled to become a formidable force. Only the Leek Hockey Club Girls caused pain to the threesome as they dared to take on the blocking techniques.

Sandra (the speedy over head Queen) continued to whizz from end to end bringing defence and attack together despite her variations in hair arrangements.

The shooters Jannette (who really can get it in from anywhere!) and Ruth (the most versatile player ever) have been named as THE BEST SHOOTERS IN THE LEAGUE. For every 100 shots at least 95 were guaranteed goals. Those that missed were put down to interference from the rowdy crowds that gathered to watch our performances.

WA is the position played by Wendy (the most graceful and gentle player ever) and she calmly fed the ball into Ruth and Jan without ever looking flustered in the 4 months of play.

People of Parwich – you are privileged to have such sporting excellence in your midst. The team are now carbo loading for a month before taking on All Comers next year.

A big Thank you must go to the staff at Leek for organising and umpiring the League. Also on the occasions we have needed to play reserves we are indebted to Jo (from the Pink Ladies) and Pip ( who sponsors us) for managing to just fit in and play our game.
