Ealing Trailfinders Netball Club got their first taste of precious podium metals at the Evolution Netball Tournament this past Sunday!

The u14s team went undefeated in the group stages and jumped into the finals of the tournament where they faced West London Junior Netball League Champions, All Stars Netball Club.

The fiercely competitive game went back and forth at speed, but All Star’s experience and game management meant that we proudly took home the Silver medals!

Our u15s won 3 of their 6 games to pick up the Bronze Medals in a very strong draw – It’s scary how much potential this group of players have!

In addition to the team successes, Abigail Alvares was awarded the U13’s Player of the tournament for her constant movement and determination to get the ball!

Lottie Pinneger was also voted as the U11 Player of the Tournament, for an emphatic defensive display, mostly against athletes a foot taller than her!

Three years ago, we started Ealing Trailfinders Netball Club with three girls as a response to Covid 19. We wanted to engage with more people from the community, so delivered a Free 6-week programme in local schools, including Brentside High School, Ellen Wilkinson, Ada Lovelace and St. Gregory’s to bring netball to the forefront of their schools.

We now have over 70 members from u7s – u15s and are still taking in new members every week! We also help deliver the extensive Netball Programme at Notting Hill and Ealing High School, Coach the University of West London’s first team and continue to build links in local schools including Christ the Saviour, Three Bridges, Ada Lovlace and Ealing Fields.
