Saturday 6th August saw TNT travel to the Manchester Velodrome, the National Cycling Centre, to compete in the Dominoes Netball Tournament. In total 56 teams from around the country had entered and TNT had been placed in Group C.

The squad line up was Rachel Massie, Debbie Jenkinson, Louise Glews, Kelly Smith, Catherine McPhillips, Shell Ross, Vicki Woodman, Lynne Greatorex and Gemma Mercer. Also joining us was Jo Jarvis who came along as our umpire.
TNT had a successful day winning 4 out of 6 matches in their division. The results of the division were as follows: -
TNT V Bandits from Nottingham, lost 5 v 4
TNT v Dominoes ‘C’ from Manchester ,won 9 v 8
TNT v Halton 2nd from Runcorn, lost 3 v 2
TNT v Diablo from Ellesmere Port, won 12 v 4
TNT v Pannone from Derbyshire, won 8 v 1
TNT v Winwood from Liverpool, won 9 v 8
Due to our success in the division we managed to go through to the ‘Cup’ tournament, which was a knock out competition. This saw us competing against Chester. After a tough game the final score was sadly 13 v 10 to Chester.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our day. It was great to play Netball against teams from out side of the area. This is the second time we have entered this tournament and we are already looking forward to next year.
