​We are looking to expand our squad in Herts County Division 2, particularly in the shooting and defensive circles, but would welcome players in any position. We also have more casual playing opportunities available in our local league teams, so we would encourage players of all standards to get in touch.

We are holding open sessions on 1st, 8th and 15th August at 8.30pm for current and new players to get a feel for the club and show us what you can do. These will be held at Leventhorpe School, Cambridge Road, Sawbridgeworth, CM21 9BY.

It has been a very exciting time for Turnford Netball Club. Firstly, our Senior National team gained promotion into Division 1 in the top league in the country. This was after a phenomenal 18-2 comeback in the second half of the game and then………..

THIS HAPPENED.....

The U16s won the England Netball Club National Championships  last weekend. This is the pinnacle of junior netball where all teams across the country compete to gain, county, then regional qualification. The top 18 teams then compete in the National Finals for placings. 

Turnford Netball Club travelled to Nottingham University to take part in this prestigious event. Saturday morning saw Turnford meet with Grangetown from the North. Turnford were focussed from the moment they stepped on court with all twelve players taking part and they took the match 45:16. The next game was against a tough Northern side, Bury, but with determination and grit, Turnford took the game 29:21 putting them through at top position during the afternoon’s matches. The team continued to show their class against Henley Netball Club where Turnford took the match 33:13. The last match was to decide whether or not Turnford would be playing for the 1-6 position in the  country. This time they met Grasshoppers from the London area, and Turnford  proved a formidable force taking the match 37:33.

Sunday morning saw a calm and focussed squad and were to meet Charnwood Rutland. This match was without a doubt a hard fought win where Turnford took the match 25:23. Then to face once again Bury where the goals were scored from end to end with a draw 31:31, but this was enough to put Turnford into the finals.

Turnford were to play Oldham in the final hurdle and in a thrilling finale Turnford took the match 33:29. Through this journey, commencing last November,  Turnford  took the whole tournament without a single loss. Coach, Carole Titmuss, stated that proud would be an under statement of how she felt about this squad. She has been with them since they were 11 years of age and this would be their last junior match together.  Turnford hope to see many of them in their senior squads.

Both the Turnford  U14 and U16 squads played in the regional round of the National Netball clubs tournament. Both squads went through undefeated as winners and will represent the East in the National club finals.

It was an exciting day for the u14 national squad, knowing they had to finish top two to qualify for the national finals. They opened their account with a 22-1 win over Thoroughbreds. The whole squad took to court throughout the group stage, each one giving their all to ensure qualification into the semi-finals, which they did so with some emphatic victories. In the semi-final they were drawn against Saffron Hawks, but again, a squad effort saw them take the win 20-4 and book their place in the national finals. In the final, the u14s were drawn against the other Hertfordshire qualifiers, Hatfield. The defensive duo of Mia Andrews and Peace Akinyemi were on fire to ensure the attack were provided with plentiful opportunities and Turnford came out winners, 8-6. The squad are very much looking forward to making their claim for the national title in Newcastle at the end of May.
