In the two days of competition, SEEVIC were representing the Eastern Region and emerged triumphant against the cream of netball talent from throughout Britain, who were competing for seven other districts.

Special mention must be made of Mandy Lewis and Vicki Haydon, who were tremendous throughout at goal defence and goal keeper respectively.

There were also outstanding performances from captain Collette Maskell, Nicola Moore, Shari Walters, Tasha Peagram, Laura Merrell, Sarah Hobden, Katie Harris, Gemma Boatwright and Jo Wyatt.

What made the feat of the Kiln Road, Thundersley, college even more meritorious was the fact that their latest in a long line of triumphs was achieved without the services of their brightest star, Louisa Brownfield, who could not play due to England commitments.
