We nearly did it!

Burlington mixed netball team were so close to qualifying for the County level finals on Friday.
Playing against the 6 best mixed teams in Furness, we made it to the final play off after winning our matches against Holy Family and Yarlside.
The play off was againsy Dane Ghyll and with only 5 minutes to go we were winning 4-2.  Everyone thought it was in the bag but...
3 goals later and the final whistle gave the final score 5:4 to Dane Ghyll.  Shocked? Frustrated? Disappointed? Yes -  that is what sport can do to us but the team held their emotions together and stayed strong.  On reflection, they can take pride in being the second best mixed team in Furness. They played virtually non-stop for 80 minutes and it was a rollercoaster ride from start to finish.
Louise Thornton (Dowdales sports coordinator) commented on the high standard of netball being played.
Well done team - you were amazing!
That's all the big netball events out of the way now. We can look forward to some fun training sessions and hopefully one or two friendly matches for the rest of this term.
