The Millfields netball team played on Monday at Haggerston School and won their heat, beating London Fields by 4-0. This put them into a thrilling final in which they played Woodberry Down, eventually being beaten - only just - in the close final by 1 - 0. This is a great attempt for a team only three weeks old! A big thank you to Sharon for her coaching skills and to Clapton Girls who let us use their courts.
