Superb debut earnsVixens an accolade

Paisley side Vixens Netball have crowned a superb debut season by being named the Glasgow Netball League’s senior club of the year.

Vixens’first team gained promotion from the GNL’s Division Four at the end of the season, while the progressive club continues to make strides off the court after having their second team also accepted into the league.

At the annual awards bash, the club was recognised with the gong, but there was also indivdual awards for Vixen, Helen Low, who bagged player of the year for Divison Four and umpire of the year for the entire league.

With the new season now underway, Vixens have been doing everything they can to improve.

They were lucky enough to have Scotland national team head coach, Gail Parata come along to training. Parata took the ladies through several drills, working on basic skills and movement, and then gave feedback and tips from a match day.

A club spokeswoman said:“We absolutely loved this session and gained so much for her input s. A huge thanks to Gail for giving up her time.”

Vixens 2 have got off to a flying start in their debut season. Following four tough games, they have come away with two strong wins as a newly formed team who are growing and learning with every game.

Elsewhere, Vixens 1 face tough opposition having been newly promoted. They have taken three out of four wins including a convincing win over St Mirren 2, 50-22 to Vixens.

A spokeswoman added:“Our training continues every Monday and we always welcome new faces as our club continues to grow.

“We have some exciting things to look forward to in the new year as we continue to make links with the community.”
