Misfits triumph in Comic Relief charity netball fundraiser
Portsmouth-based Misfits were outright winners at the latest Netball in the Community festival.
The event, in aid of Comic Relief, attracted over 100 participants, volunteers and supporters. A total of £832 was raised for the charity, organised and run exclusively by volunteers with Portsmouth High School generously donating the time in the sports hall.
Misfits were unbeaten during the versatility competition which saw players move around position after every game. The team welcomed back the experienced Laura Cook from injury to good effect, whilst Jo Tomms brought reliability to each position she played.
Havant Hoops, finishing in third place, gave Misfits a good run but missed out by two goals in their match against the eventual winners.
Knowle Hotshots, who came into the competition at short notice to replaced injury-ravaged Swanmore Sirens, were runners-up.
