A close win against Framlingham (11-9) followed by a final defeat against St Edmunds placed them second in the East Regional tournament, securing their place in the National Finals and placing them as one of the top 18 schools in the country.

Felsted has close links with Super League Clubs, London Pulse and Saracens Mavericks, with Head of Netball Lindsay Keable currently playing for London Pulse and Year 12 pupil Poppy Tydeman currently playing for Saracens Mavericks.

Lindsay comments; “The team demonstrated great skills on the netball court, were great ambassadors for Felsted and should all be very proud of their amazing achievement.”
