120 netballers attended the Oxfordshire Netball Awards Evening last night at Witney Lakes Resort, it was an evening of celebration, with recognition for Sue Blackshaw for her ‘tireless dedication’ to netball. Sue recieved the Special Recognition Award for her outstanding contribution in running the project on behalf of the netballers, that has given us six floodlit netball courts in Oxfordshire. Sue commended all the volunteers who have helped her with this mammoth achievement, and all clubs and the league officers for their contributions and in coping with the change so well moving to Central Venue.
Challow Netball Club won the Club of the Year Award, Leanne Palmer is Junior Unsung Hero, and Nicki McDonald is Senior Unsung Hero 2012. Rhonda Forbes-Smith won the Teacher of the Year Award, Clare Merriman is Umpire of the Year, and Yolande Owen is Coach of the Year 2012. Well done to all those individuals who were nominated, and especially to our winners. There is a lot of hard work and dedication to netball across the county and it was great to celebrate it at this event.
Thanks go to the judges, Helen Wynn (England Netball), Denise Brown (Oxford Sports Partnership), Jon Roycroft (Director of Sport, Oxford University).
Some of the winners have already been invited to the South Region round of the Goalden Globes on June 16th. Good luck!
Maggie Fisher and the Oxfordshire Netball Development Board hosted the event, and following the awards, the netballers and a few partners got on the dance floor to dance the night away. Here’s to the next one in 2014!
Apologies, the Oxfordshire League trophies were not able to be presented at the event, and we missed the opportunity to celebrate the achievements of all those who had won their divisions. The trophies will be presented at the ONL and ONDB AGM’s on Tues 3rd July 2012.
