National Schools, South West Regional Round

The Netball South West regional round of the National Schools Competiton is taking place at the Sir David English Centre in Bournemouth on Saturday 1st Feb.

The top two teams from the county rounds compete in three age groups – under 14, 16 and 19. Overall, there will be 42 teams competing. Match officials and volunteers are coming from all over the region to support the event on what promises to be a very busy day!

Schools play each other in the group stages, with the winners and runner-up of each group playing in semi-finals. The semi-final winners compete in the final for the position of champion of their age group.

The finalists in each age group qualify for the National finals, which are being held at the EIS in Sheffield on 15th, 16th and 22nd March.
