REDCLIFFS SCHOOL netball<br />
team will no longer take to the<br />
court in a jumble of uniforms<br />
– they have won new gear in a<br />
national competition.<br />
Sports teacher Jenni Williams<br />
decided to make the application<br />
because on the court the players<br />
would be wearing a mix of three<br />
uniforms at any one time.<br />
Ms Williams entered the team<br />
into the ANZ Netball Dream<br />
Delivery programme which<br />
includes the girls getting new<br />
uniforms, bibs, balls and gear<br />
bags.<br />
The school has wanted to get<br />
new uniforms for sometime, but<br />
the uncertainty over the future<br />
of the where the school would<br />
be stopped them from doing so.<br />
Ms Williams said when the<br />
school was confirmed to stay the<br />
next hurdle was getting<br />
the money to afford the uniforms.<br />
So she decided to enter the<br />
school in the competition,<br />
explaining the situation in the<br />
competitions entry form.<br />

when they found out,” Mr Williams<br />
said.<br />
The year 7 and 8 team haven’t<br />
lost a game yet and Ms Williams<br />
said now that they will be in<br />

with the new gear on Friday<br />
by ANZ Ferrymead branch<br />
manager Jenienne Campbell.<br />

leave their old kit at home and<br />
step on to court in style after receiving<br />
a much needed upgrade.<br />
