On Sunday 26th January, our Under 19, Under 16 and Under 14 netball teams represented Birmingham in the annual regional tournament. All three teams knew they would have to play some of their best ever netball in order to qualify for the national tournament. Our Under 14 team played really well throughout the day and were eventually placed fifth in their group. Both our Under 19 and Under 16 teams just missed out on qualification by the narrowest of margins, finishing in third place in their respective groups. We are extremely proud of all the girls, who played with real skill and commitment throughout the tournament.

The great Easter Debate: a sweet, chaotic showdown
If you were expecting a serious, well-structured debate at this year’s Easter debate, you were in for a surprise.
