Penrith’s U16 team claimed a third place spot at Sunday’s Cumbria Premier Netball League tournament; a fantastic result considering this was their first outing as a team. 

The day began well, and saw Penrith U16s start their campaign with a win against Meerkats B and keeping them to zero goals. Their second game also brought a toughly-fought win against Kirbky Tigers – a match which finished 9-6 to Penrith. The latter half of the morning brought some more intense games. Penrith took consecutive losses in their final three games against Westmorland Wanderers, Meerkats A, and Kirkby Lions. A full breakdown of Penrith’s results can be seen below.

Special mention must also go to Maddy Burke from Penrith U16, who was came in joint second on the Player of the Tournament rankings. After each game, each team must name an opposing Player of the Match; Maddy was awarded the PoM title following three(!) of our five games. Our other PoMs were Hannah Davis and Poppy Sidwell. 

Our grateful thanks are sent to the tournament organisers, officials, umpires, fellow teams, and parents for supporting this event. We’re looking forward to another round in the new season!
