The 2025/26 season has been full of brilliant netball, amazing team spirit, exciting club milestones and plenty of moments to celebrate both on and off the court. Across the club, we have seen huge commitment from players, captains, coaches, supporters and committee members, and it has been fantastic to watch all teams continue to grow throughout the year.

This season also brought some of our best social moments yet. Our Christmas do at Rocksalt was so much fun and was a lovely chance for everyone to get together away from the court. We also had the most support we have ever had at home matches, which made such a difference to the atmosphere on Saturdays. The end-of-season picnic on Wimbledon Common was another highlight and a perfect way to celebrate everything the club has achieved this year.

Away from netball, our girls have continued to go above and beyond. From HYROX events to half marathons and full marathons, there have been so many achievements to celebrate outside the club. We have also had lots of exciting personal news across Fairlands, including engagements and pregnancies, making it a really special year for so many of our girls.

A Team Report

The A Team have had a fantastic season, with league finishes that reflect the hard work and commitment shown throughout the year.

In the Met League, the team finished 2nd and secured promotion from Division 2 to Division 1, which is an amazing achievement. In the Surrey League, following promotion to Prem B last season, the team had another strong year and finished 3rd overall.

These results are a real credit to the squad, who have turned up week after week with a brilliant attitude and strong team spirit. The team faced plenty of challenges along the way, including games with only seven players, players covering out of position and the occasional post-social Saturday performance, which makes the results even more impressive.

It has also been incredible to see all three adult teams secure promotion this season, with the C Team achieving promotion in both leagues. This reflects the hard work, commitment and progress across the whole club.

Looking ahead, we wish Dharshni the very best of luck at university. She will be missed, and we hope she has the best time. Now attention turns to summer league, the AGM and, before we know it, the return of Saturday morning netball.

Love,
Em and Char

B Team Report

The B Team have had a memorable season full of growth, resilience and teamwork. From the first match to the final whistle, the team showed determination and a real willingness to improve, both individually and collectively.

There were challenges along the way, but the squad stayed united, supported one another and celebrated every success, big or small. This team spirit played a huge part in securing promotion in the Met League for next season.

The team started the 2025/26 season strongly, including a brilliant 69–33 win against Whyteleafe, and the energy continued throughout the year. The shooters scored an incredible 1,091 goals across the season, which is a huge achievement.

It has been fantastic to see the squad grow in both skill and confidence. A special mention goes to Danielle, who has been a brilliant new addition to the team.

Final season stats:

Surrey League Division 3
7th place finish
3 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses

Met League Division 6
2nd place finish
11 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses

Most importantly, the B Team finished the season together and are already excited for what next season has in store. A huge thank you to everyone who attended training through the horrible winter weather, played on cold and rainy Saturday mornings, cheered from the sidelines and brought the good vibes every week.

PMA!

C Team Report

The C Team have had a fantastic 2025/26 season, earning promotion in both leagues — an incredible achievement.

In the Met League, the team faced some exceptionally tough opposition, making their 2nd place finish even more impressive. There were several nail-biting scorelines throughout the season, and the squad showed huge resilience under pressure.

In the Surrey League, the team finished just one point behind the league leaders, while also achieving the highest goals scored in the division with an incredible 691 goals.

One of the standout moments of the season came early on against CMO. As a newly formed team still building combinations, the squad found themselves five goals down at half time. They fought back to level the game at 28–28 by the end of the third quarter, before going on to secure a brilliant five-goal win. It was a real testament to the resilience, determination and team spirit within the squad, alongside huge support from the sidelines.

The team also showed incredible consistency across the season, remaining unbeaten throughout November, December and January. Despite injuries, holidays and constant changes in availability, players stepped up week after week. Younger members of the squad became huge assets, not only to the C Team but across the wider club too.

Most importantly, this season has been full of exciting netball, huge progression and a team culture everyone should be proud of. The growth in confidence, versatility and togetherness has been brilliant to see, and promotion in both leagues is a thoroughly deserved reward for all the hard work put in throughout the year.

D Team Report

The D Team have had an amazing season, with huge improvements across the squad and a real sense of flow developing as the year went on.

It has been especially exciting to welcome lots of new players moving up from the Under 18s. The team grew in confidence throughout the season and produced some brilliant performances, including wins against teams who have previously had the advantage.

D Team netball this season has been full of fun, energy and positivity, and all the girls have played some great netball. It has been fantastic to see the team develop together and enjoy their netball each week.

Looking ahead, there is already so much to look forward to next season. A huge thank you to everyone who has played, supported, coached, captained, volunteered, cheered from the sidelines, posted updates, organised socials and helped make Fairlands Netball Club what it is.

Bring on 2026/27.
