Dolphins dive into competitive netball
The weather was perfect and four teams were present – the All Stars NC from Storrington, Midhurst B2N and a team from the University of Chichester (WSIHE).
Featuring a wide range of ages, games were played with enthusiasm, considerable skill and determination. The Selsey girls enjoyed meeting and playing against others who relished the freedom and fun in a team sport – weak or strong, tall or short, young or old, all were equal on court.

Selsey’s Sarah Worrall said: “Having lost all our games, you would think we would be downcast, but nothing could be further from the truth.
“We had all learned such a lot and now have much more idea of our own skill levels and a strong desire to improve. Roll on the next tournament.”
