Netball: BNA Weekend Match Results

November 9, 2022

The 2022-2023 Winter League netball season got underway at Bernard Park this past weekend, with Storm becoming the Sylvia Eastley Tournament Champions.

A spokesperson said, “Bernard Park returned to action this past Saturday for the first time this 2022-2023 Winter League Season after opening day had to be moved to Bermuda College due to the inclement weather.

“As a result, only the team walk by, the 11&U and 14&U Harold ‘Doc’ Dowling Tournaments [Winner Phoenix Embers], and three rounds of the 17&U Harold ‘Doc’ Dowling Tournament were able to take place, forcing the 17&U and Senior Sylvia Eastley Tournament to be completed this past Saturday.

“The excitement of netball returning with a sense of normalcy is definitely in the air, as spectators could be seen in the stands in addition to lining the perimeter fence of the Bernard Park netball courts.

“With the completion of the 11&U and 14&U Opening Day Tournaments, these divisions started the day with league play:
