Festival of Netball

8 March

King's was able to host its annual Festival of Netball with over 50 pupils from 4 schools for an afternoon of games and coaching.

Hosted on the four outdoor courts at the King's Sports Centre in the sunshine but bitter wind (the event was rained off last year), teams from King's and Merton Court were able to play teams from the local Medway primary schools at Hilltop and Bomprton Westbrook.

There was added excitement when the draw allowed the two teams from Hilltop to play against each other.

Afterwards, new friendships were made when tea in the clubhouse was served and certificates were handed out to every player.
