Another excellent netball league meeting on the multicourts of The Bridge tonight, despite the bitingly cold weather. Pool A was back in action for its second Phase 1 instalment.
Kingslea and Leechpool A started the night neck and neck at the top of the table but by the end of it Leechpool had sailed ahead adding 20 points by virtue of winning all of its second set of four matches, whilst Kingslea found points more difficult to come by second time out, only winning one more game. Both will safely progress to the Phase 2 Upper Division in the New Year however.
Leechpool B will join them as the third qualifying side after adding two more wins,
St Andrew’s Nuthurst got off the bottom of the table courtesy of a much better second meeting performance that saw them accumulate an impressive 13 points. They will join Leechpool C in the Lower Division after Christmas.
The final league Phase 1 meeting takes place next Thursday as Pool B re-convenes for its second meeting.
