Nuthurst A are this year’s Horsham Primary School Netball League winners after winning tonight’s Tier 1 Play-Offs meeting on The Bridge’s multicourts. They started as favourites and fully justified that tag winning all their three games by strong margins and in good style. Well done too to Steyning A who similarly put their opponents conclusively to the sword on the way to their full house of wins in the Tier 2 play-offs.

Nuthurst were just too good but the battle for second place was a lot more nail-biting with three close games contested by the front teams of Southwater, Kingslea and Leechpool. Leechpool A came into the evening as second favourites having won their pool but tonight was not their night as they came out the wrong side of the score in all their matches. So second place rested on the outcome of the Southwater v Kingslea encounter thaat went the way of the Southies, 3-1.

Tier 2 was not as tight in its lower reaches as the top tier. Steyning A spanked everyone but, the winners aside, second place Southwater B were just as merciless in getting into double figure goals in both its matches versus Leechpool B and Shelley.

The final instalment of the league comes in three weeks’ time when the Tier 3 and Tier 4 play-offs take place.
