The AU’s team of the month is the Netball Squad 1st team. The squad is made of four teams, all representing Hull University in BUCS (British University College Sports) every Wednesday.
The squad is full of dedicated and committed girls, all of whom train 3 times a week, Monday 5-7pm, Tuesday 5.30-7pm and Thursday 5-7pm, and with the new coach Eve, who President Becca Nield, hails as ‘amazing’, the girls seem to only have greatness awaiting!
While speaking to Becca, she boasts –rightfully given their work- of the high standard of the first team, as well as the determination and the dedication of the team, and credits their success down to the friendships that have formed both on and off the court and Eve, who helped the squad’s game and given them extra drive to win!
Overall, the squad sounds like a friendly one, and as Becca explains, a club –like many in the AU- that welcome players of any ability as well as girls who just wish to come along for the social sides, so joining is something all girls should consider! The squad sounds like a great addition to any girl’s life, there’s exercise, competition and for an added extra great friendships waiting for everyone as everyone in the team are ‘genuinely good friends’ –another reason why they work so well as a team and a reason for their success- who live with either one or more of the fellow members.
If that’s not enough to show the wonders that the Netball Squad can offer, an extra intensive might be the fact that a fundraiser held by the team helped raise £600 to help fund their annual Tour. The AU tour this year shall be in Salou, Spain.
The girls have a lot to be proud of and a lot to look forward to, from rivalries with Sheffield Hallam, who we have had to play numerous times in the past two years to the semi-final the BUCS Cups semi-final, and everyone at Hullfire wishes them the best of luck!
