Netball: North West Wales League – Menai Bridge edge thriller against Comets

Menai Bridge edged a 38-37 victory over Colwyn Comets in Division One’s match of the night in the North West Wales Netball League.

The Bridge, a team which has stormed its way through the lower two divisions and have really hit the ground running in the first this season, took on the top flight residents in an epic clash.

The Anglesey side led all the way through, with a fantastic final quarter featuring 11 goals apiece.

Division Two sister teams Llandudno Knicks and newbies Llandudno Blazers opened the night’s proceedings with a very evenly matched game throughout.

Knicks’ strength and experience eventually enabled them to stretch the lead out to win 36-29.

There was a comfortable win for the ladies of Conwy Storm in Division Three. Ending the first quarter only three goals up against Abergele Diamonds, they steamed ahead from the second session onwards.

Fantastic shooting from Conwy’s player of the match Georgina Roberts did much to secure a 39-20 triumph.
