We took 2 teams to the tournament:
Devizes Pink - Olivia Jones/Emily Maslen/Chinda Smith/Olivia Maslen/Becky Male/Niamh O'Connor(C)/Jasmine Mitchell
and
Devizes Blue - Thea Dillon(C)/Jasmine Stacey/Polly Lauerbooth/Millie Long/Hollie Maslen/Megan Turnidge/Megan Holloway
Devizes Pink won all of their league matches - 7-2, 4-1, 5-0,14-0, 14-0. Devizes Blue lost their first match 0-4,won the next 7-0,drew 2-2, and won the last two 4-0 and 5-0, and came third, losing out on the semis by 1 point.
In their semi final, Devizes Pink beat Croft A 6-1. In the final they played Pinehurst A. This was quite a nerve racking final as Devizes played catch up throughout. At the final whistle we thought we had lost by one goal, but we had forgotten that Pinehurst's first goal was disallowed for '4 seconds'.
So we went to 'golden goal', but no rotations were allowed. Dev Pink had first centre pass which was intercepted straight away, and Pinehurst had the ball in their shooting circle in just two passes. Much to our relief they missed. Some careful passing brought the ball into Devizes Pink's circle and a very focussed shot at goal gave us the winning goal.
Both teams played some lovely netball throughout the tournament, with crucial interceptions being a key part to their play.
A very big well done to all who took part, and thank you to Trudie and Sue for organising the teams and umpiring and managing them on the day - and thank you too to all the parents and supporters!
