SAS Netball Club Tournament 2007

42 teams participated in our 1st netball tournament in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire on the 1st September 2007. We were fortunate enough to have good weather and had a fantastic day of netball from teams based in various areas around the country including York, Basingstoke and Redhill in Surrey.

There were some very exciting games in the first round but the matches heated up as we went through to the knockout rounds and on to the quarters, semi's and the finals of both the cup and plate. There were many local teams represented in both the cup and plate sections. The cup quarter finals were between Hertford Hornets 1 v Oakwood Seniors, Wyvern v Tongham, XL v London Lionhearts and Nomads 1 v Academy. While the plate quarter finals were between Hertford Hornets 2 v Redhill 2, CD Pheonix v Old Fincunians, Oakwood v Falcons and Redhill 1 v Palmers Green 1.

It was Hertford Hornets 1, Academy, Tongham & London Lionhearts in the cup semi finals while Hertford Hornets 2, CD Pheonix, Oakwood & Palmers Green in the plate final. The cup final was between Academy and Tongham with Academy being overall winners of the tournament and Oakwood winning the plate competition.
