Pêl-rwyd/Netball: Walis Bryncoch join Menai at Division One summit – but only after close battle

A draw, a one-goal victory and a cliffhanger between a title contender and a relegation candidate – what a night of netball!

Menai Mavericks and Walis Bryncoch are joint Division One leaders after the latest round of matches in the Hogan Cynghrair Pêl-Rwyd Gwynedd a Môn: Gaeaf/Gwynedd & Anglesey Netball League Winter 2024/25 season.
