Local Builder Supports Young Women in Sport
Over a year ago COVID restrictions forced City of Ely Netball Club to shut down their popular Junior section, but now a small group of dedicated volunteer coaches have built a strong membership of 30 players, fielding 3 teams in the Cambridge District Netball League.
Club Spokesperson Donna Clark said: “It was important to us as a club to give access to sport for young women in this community, both for their physical and mental health. But with the costs of living rising, we were concerned about the affordability of new kit, so we have been absolutely blown away by the generosity of Paul Barrow.”
Paul Barrow, a local builder, has kindly sponsored kit for 30 junior players. Club coach Helen Scotto Di Marrazzo is so grateful: "Having new smart matching kit has helped unify the teams and given them more confidence on court.”
The junior club is now currently full for this season, however they will offer open netball training sessions from April 2023 for potential new players in Year 7 or above. Watch out for notifications on the website or facebook page. www.cityofelynetballclub.co.uk
