TEN girls from West Devon played netball in the Devon Games to Inspire 2009 event last Sunday. 

In an event of exceptionally high standards, the girls won six out of nine games, eventually being placed fourth. 

Eight of the girls attend Okehampton College and two go to Shebbear College.  They played well as a team and were strong in all areas of the game.

Wendy Raymond, team manager, said: 'The girls played outstandingly and should be proud of themselves.  I would like to thank the EX20 Lottery for sponsoring our bibs and skirts which were very smart and helped us to stand out amongst the crowd.

'I would like to say a special thank you to Anne Donnelly and Tracie Martin for all their help in coaching the girls and getting up so early on Sunday to catch the coach.'
