Trophies galore for triumphant Tibberton girls
Tibberton struck a hat-trick of golds in the Shropshire Netball Tournament at Church Stretton.
Coach Karen Bennett picked a joint Tibberton team for the Open section. Tibberton Starz featured a mixture of the elite under-19s with a handful of the elite adults. And the combination proved unstoppable as Starz won the tournament without losing a game.
Captain Nicci Haycox said, "It was a pleasure to play with such talented youngsters. The elite adult team can look forward to a bright future."
In the under-11 section, the Tibberton Totties squad, led by coach Kath Hardman, played some lovely netball to claim second place. The under-14s Elite team Terrifiers held their nerve to claim the title in extra-time, with Tait Furnival netting the winner. And Tibberton Twisters were the under-16 winners.
At the West Midlands Netball Association Goalden Globe Awards, Furnival won the Under-14 Players' Player honour. Rachel Massie lifted the Senior Division One Players' Player award, and Karen Bennett netted the Grassroots Coach Award. Tibberton were also the Outstanding Club of the Year.
