SARACENS MAVERICKS PATHWAY NEWS

This was alongside Molly Morrisey. Both Holly and Rihanna put in fantastic defensive displays.

This week is a big week for the NPL squads, with U21s, U19s and U17s all playing at home against Severn Stars at Queenswood. Matches start at 2.45pm, 4.45 and 6.45 pm respectively. The squads are determined to make Super Saturday a success and make it three wins from three.

It’s been another hugely positive few weeks for the Saracens Mavericks pathway. Our U19s and U21s secured two fantastic wins, 44-35 and 4135 respectively, against Surrey Storm.

Holly James received opposition and joint coaches Player of the Match, with Josie Groves named Players’ Player of the match for U21s. Rihana Luke for U19s received Opposition, Coaches, and joint Players’ Player awards.

Away from Mavericks, a number of players have also been competing in Netball Europe. Congratulations to Cara Conway Baker (U17s), Keira Straker (U17s) and Eva Buckley (U17 PDP) - who represented Netball Ireland in the Netball Europe Challenge competition in Northern Ireland last week and were eventually crowned the winners. Alex Dellipani (U17 PDP) also represented Gibraltar. This was a fantastic achievement for all four players.
