The 2022/23 college netball league started off with a bang with an all-time high of 59 college netball teams participating this year! Participation in mixed netball has flourished with 31 of these teams belonging to the mixed league. This was thanks to the welcome addition of some new teams such as Emmanuel College Mixed 2nd team, Pembroke College Mixed 2nd team and Peterhouse Mixed 1st team. We were also delighted to add Anglia Ruskin University’s first college netball team to the ladies’ league at the beginning of the year in an endeavour to create match play opportunities for their 3rd university team! We hope they have enjoyed and benefitted from the league so far.
Congratulations to St John’s College Ladies 1st Netball team who have finished at the top of the league undefeated! They were the only team in both the ladies and mixed leagues to play and win all their matches. The mixed league was slightly more nail-biting with a tie in points for top of the table in Division 3 between Fitzwilliam College Mixed 1st team and St Edmund’s College Mixed 1st team. Fitzwilliam college edged ahead to claim 1st place with a goal difference of just 2!
We hope all the teams participating in the league this year have enjoyed it so far and are excited for the events coming in Lent term!
