Mid Sussex Netball League

Umpires with mentors

midsussexnetball — Wed, 02 May 2012 12:32:06 +0000

An important decision has been made regarding new umpires requiring coaching and mentoring.

Mentorship is an essential part of a new umpires development and therefore the mentor will receive the £10 umpire payment and not the developing umpire. Each mentor is an extremely valuable asset to the league so we hope you all support us in the decision.

Thank you to all ladies who supported our ‘Back to Netball’ project over the last few months. We were delighted with the number of players who attended the sessions & are looking forward to welcoming all the new teams into the Summer League, starting on 2nd May 2012.

Sun Shines on MSNL at our Spring Tournament

midsussexnetball — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:49:27 +0000

Mid Sussex Netball League brought new & current teams together in a Spring Tournament held at the Triangle on 24^th March. Teams played a round robin of 8 matches each with some impressive play across the board. League giants Jo’s Angels dominated the day without losing a single match & securing first place. The surprise of the day were underdogs Sapphires who showed dramatic improvement to secure 2^nd place, losing only to Jo’s Angels. Tournament teams also included Phoenix, Red Roos, Hassocks Honeez, Storm Dolly Mixtures & Southwater. It was a great showcase for how the League has developed, welcoming ladies back to netball from across Mid Sussex.

Presentations on the day included tournament winners (Jos Angels) & Runners Up (Sapphires), plus Winter Season winners (Jo’s Angels), Winter Season Player of the Match (Natalie) & the Team players from the last year. Huge congratulations to all teams & players & huge thanks to everyone for supporting this event.

End of Round 2 – Update

Sue Binns — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:11:08 +0000

At the end of Round 2 Jo’s Angels are still (impressively) at the top of the League table. But, with Round 3 starting in January all the teams have a lot to play for. The standard of match play has risen throughout the Season & Round 2 saw some very close matches indeed. Our newest team, Hurst, have certainly enjoyed their debut season and have made several teams work hard for the wins they have have had against Hurst. Both Jo’s Angels and Phoenix have found themselves digging deep at times which has made their performances exceed expectations in the more closely fought games. Hassocks Honeez are enjoying their best season yet and, whilst both Red Roos and Sapphires both struggled early on in the Season, they have both recently enjoyed more impressive performances that have earned them valuable points in the League table.

Looking ahead to January when we usually experience some colder weather, please can we remind all teams of the importance of a thorough warm up prior to match play & the need to have team first aid available court-side. Our Accident Guidelines can be found under the ‘Rules’ section of this website & we ask all teams to familiairise themselves with these.

Round 3 dates in 2012 are: 11 Jan, 18 Jan, 25 Jan, 1 Feb and 8 Feb.

Finally, we would like to thank all teams for their involvement in MSNL & hope you all have a well-deserved & fun break over Christmas. We are all keenly awaiting Round 3 and the fresh competition that will bring so we look forward to seeing you all back on court in the New Year.

Congratulations to the Sapphires

Who won their first match of the season against Hurst. The scoreline was very close at 33/30. Both teams played extremely well and there was a real buzz amongst the players of the type you can only get when two teams are quite evently matched. Hurst have decided to get a second set of bibs as their colours were very similar to Sapphires and I’m sure that some passes went to the wrong players.

The Jo’s Angels / Honeez match but again was very close at 22/20, well done to both teams. Someone has to beat the amazing Jo’s Angels this season. Who is it going to be?

We were all glad to see the Red Roos playing as they’ve really struggled to get a team together recently with lots of injuries.

Honours for Danielle and Lucy

MSNL Celebrates Success

midsussexnetball — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 11:25:02 +0000

The Mid Sussex Netball League is now in its third successful year having formed as a result of local Back to Netball sessions in May 2009. The League plays competitive matches on Wednesday evenings at St Paul’s Catholic College in Burgess Hill.

At the moment there are 6 teams playing in MSNL’s Winter League, with ladies from 19 years of age to their mid-fifties taking part. Run by a committee of volunteers it is widely felt that getting ’Back to Netball’ and joining this League has made a real
difference to lots of ladies. Everyone is there because they love the sport and want to improve fitness and skills. Netball is a very active sport and just one hour of playing can burn up to 660 calories.
