THE annual meeting of the Okehampton Netball League was recently held at Okehampton College. It was well attended with 13 of the League?s 15 teams represented. The meeting started with the chairman, Angela Herrod-Taylor, thanking everyone for coming and feeling that on the whole it has been a good season.

Trophies and medals were presented to the Division winners and runners up and also to the player of the season in both divisions.

Division 1 winners were Falcons with Speedwells as runners-up. Player of the season for division 1 was Lyn Strawbridge of Hatherleigh 1.

Division 2 winners were Hatherleigh 2 with Cheriton Flyers as runners-up. Both these teams will move up into division 1 next season. Player of the season for division 2 was Kelly Cann of Red Devils.

The Okehampton Netball League season starts in September and finishes generally in March. This season division 1 will consist of nine teams and a probable 10 teams in division 2.

The league has gone from strength to strength, running coaching and umpiring courses throughout the season and encouraging new teams to join, particularly young teams from Okehampton College from Year 9 upwards.

Thanks went to Angela Herrod-Taylor and Wendy Raymond for all their hard work to make the league such a success with all the ?behind the scenes? things and also the good mix of local teams participating.
