Netball East Club Championships
|
The U16 and U14 Turnford squads travelled to Ipswich this weekend to once again claim the title of East Regional champions.
Both squads had to finish top two in the groups to qualify for the semi finals and a chance at National Finals. The U16’s had six other teams in their group. First up was Ipswich ladies. With outstanding defence of Busola Femi-Gueje, Zara Everitt and Ella Warmerdan the opposition failed to put a score on the board in the first half. |
A confident start and all eleven players taking to court Turnford got their first #WIN in the bag 16-2. Much of the same to follow for this powerful squad and with outstanding shooting from Andriana Robinson, Lucy Milberry and Emily Sabatino they got the results to show for it. 18-4 against Star, 11-7 against Conquerors,23-2 against Leighton Buzzard, 19-1 against Saffron Hawks.
The final group game was to be the toughest as Norfolk United had also not lost a game. Despite the awesome feeds of Abbie Bromley and Katie Harris, the black and yellow side fell short of their clean sweep and finished second in their group after a close 6-7 defeat. This meant they drew local rivals Asco in the semi finals. Once again the outstanding defence of Nikki Skinner and the strong drives to top of the circle from Alicia Mulholland meant we were able to take the game 9-7.
Now for the finals and time to regain their title of Regional Champions having already secured a place in National Finals. They once again met Norfolk United. This time with a much more focused approach from the Turnford side, the Norfolk United girls struggled to get past our intercepting queens, Charlotte Dadey and Zara Everitt. Leading Turnford once again to victory with a 12-7 #WIN.
Coach Kat Titmuss said: “I am so proud of each and every one of these girls. They have shown complete commitment to their squad and our shared goal of taking home the gold from nationals. We will continue to work hard to make this goal a reality.
The U14s played five teams through their round. The matches were played in two halves of 8 minutes each way. First up was Braintree, which Turnford took comfortably 12:4. Next came Bedford and Turnford again took this comfortably 14:4. This was the way it was to be throughout the day and Turnford having a strong squad of twelve were able to play different combinations. There was no opposition for this squad and the next three matches were taken against Thetford 18:4. Thoroughbreds 21:3 and Co-Jags 15:4. The strength and depth of this squad faced local rivals Crosskeys in the Semi Final which Turnford took 18:8. They went into the final meeting Co-Jags from Essex once again. This time Turnford were there to prove what a contender they are for the National finals at the end of May where the national club finals will be held in Redbridge. and prove they did lifting the winners cup 25:2. The squad only let in 29 goals against them throughout the whole tournament with 123 goals scored, a magnificent goal difference of 94. The squad consisted of : Megan Thomas (Cptn), Sienna Rushton, Evie Pringle, Courtney Ferns, Bella Baylis, Freya Keohane, Maddie March, Jasmine Harvey-Stone, Tobi Unuefa, Ellie Oswick, Amy Rule, Sahara Bailey-Joseph

Under 16
Turnford U16 were excited to compete in the first stage of the #RoadtoNationals this weekend. The squad of 12 played in the County round held at Wodson Park. They had 6 games standing between them and the County title. With many of the players being from the U15 squad we knew we had a challenge ahead of us. They had a great start to the day with a 13-1 win over Abbey Flyers soon followed with 10-5 win vs Hornets. At this stage of the day the winds had really started to pick up and it took some perfect timing from shooters Andriana Robinson, Emily Sabatino and Lucy Milberry to take the win against Crosskeys 4-3. Next up was Asco who found it hard to combat the strong Turnford attack and with constant turnovers from Zara Everitt and Ella Warmerdam Turnford gained another win under their belt. Turnford were able to secure confident wins over their last two opponents winning 12-4 against Hatfield and 13-0 against Kardale. Coach Kathryn Titmuss said "I was delighted with every player of this squad who all took to court and played to the game plan. I was delighted that both the U16's and U14's finished the day undefeated and look forward to seeing these super squads in the next stage".
Under 14
Turnford U14s were excited to be present at this round of the national club pathway. It had been a while since they had played their own age group having tested their skills, in recent months, at a much higher level of good quality senior games. The score lines showed just how much this young squad had improved. Despite the gusty winds the shooters faired well against the elements. Their first match against Hatfield Turnford took 14:4, Next up was Asco and again a vast goal difference of another win for Turnford 17:3. The defence of Jasmine Harvey-Stone, Maddie March, Freya Keohane, and Frankie Baylis made turnaround after turnaround allowing the solid centre court of Megan Thomas, Courtney Ferns and Bella Baylis to feed their shooting circle with skill and maturity. Next up came Hornets and Turnford took the win 18:1 followed by wins against Abbey Flyers 14:2, and Crosskeys 13:4 . Shooters Evie Pringle and Sienna Rushton slotted them in, with ease, one after the other gaining a total of 76 goals during the tournament and the defense only allowing 14 against them. Coach Carole Titmuss said praise must be given to the whole squad for their focus throughout the day. She stated how proud she was of every single one of them and looks forward to the next round where they will represent Hertfordshire at regional level to be held in Norfolk in March 2016.

Turnford vs Leeds
|
Turnford travelled to Leeds for their last match of the season in the first division of the Netball premier league. Turnford had fought their way into this league and they have certainly fought their way into staying there. They are now officially premier 1 residents for the season 2015/2016. The squad of 11 players plus coach Danielle Titmuss travelled up to leeds the night before so they could be fresh and focused for the early start.
The game began - from the first step on court it could be seen Turnford were determined to make sure there would be no play - off up north hotel bookings for them. All eleven players took to the court and all 11 players played their hearts out. Accurate shooting from Georgina Fisher and Ann-Marie Dwyer coupled with great feed from the centre court of Clare Drakeford, Holly Sims and Sophie Carter ensured the opportunities given were converted. |
But special mention of the incredible defence play of (Player of the match ) Bea Skingsley , Megan Clarke, Sam May, Kathryn Titmuss, Hayley Mackellar and Sarah Davis preventing many many conversions of the Leeds opponents. This can be put down as THE solid team effort of the season. Coach Danielle Titmuss stated how proud she was of the squad and is looking forward to enjoying premier 1 status, with them, next season. The squad consisted of Georgina Fisher, Holly Sims, Ann-Marie Dwyer,Clare Drakeford, Sophie Carter, Kathryn Titmuss(Cptn), Sarah Davis, Hayley Mackellar, Bea Skingsley, Megan Clarke and Sam May.
