Flying the flag for our town at national level this weekend will be Brigg and District Netball Club's Under-14 team, whose members have already enjoyed outstanding success this season.
On March 28 they went to Long Eaton to represent Lincolnshire in the East Midlands Championship, having an unforgettable day and winning the title to preserve their unbeaten record this season.
On May 8/9 they go to Manchester as regional representatives in the National Championships, taking a squad of players and officials.
Brigg Town councillors were delighted to hear of the club's success and felt such an organisation doing good work among young people deserved support. So an application from the club for a little financial help, considered last night by the Town Council's policy committee, immediately resulted in £250 being agreed, plus a "well done" letter. This course of action was proposed by committee chairman Coun Jenny Bell.
The club has a website www.briggnetball.co.uk if you wish to find out more, or known someone interested in joining. Or email mail@briggnetball.co.uk

This is excellent news.
But I have always wondered why the netball organisation has resisted change.
In other sports, rules have been adapted to encourage and assist young players. For example, in football, ball, pitch and goal sizes vary to accommodate various age groups.
In netball, the net's height is constant. This could dishearten the younger player who may perceive the goal net beyond reach.
Netball does have a different set of rules including a lowered net for under 12s,this is called Hi-5.
