ROYSTON Junior Netballers were proud to be chosen as ball girls for the recent Superleague match between Hertfordshire Mavericks and Team Northumbria.

The best netball players in the UK were on show to battle it out for the Cooperative Netball Championship title at the Hertfordshire Sports Village in front of the Royston netballers and their families.

Head Coach Tracey Stimson said "It was a great opportunity for our juniors to watch a top class netball match and especially for the ball girls to get a close up view of the game.

"Twelve of our girls were chosen and were on the court for two quarters each."

Chairperson Carol Parcell, who also coaches said "The girls were a credit to our Club.

"They did a marvellous job and some of our older girls acted as stewards on the night so I'd like to say a big thank you to them.
