Rotary helps netball team “look as good as they play”

One of North Ayrshire’s most promising young netball teams are this month’s recipients of the Rotary Club of Hunterston Community Award scheme.

The West Kilbride Primary School (WKPS) team are currently enjoying a tremendous run of wins are through to the North Ayrshire Active Schools Primary School Netball Tournament, qualifying along with Ardrossan’s Stanley Primary School.

Team players along with their coaches Fiona Ferrie and Pamela Couper recently met with Hunterston Rotary Club members to receive their £200 check from Community Secretary Jim Jackson. 

According to coach Pamela Couper: “Our mix team of boys and girls have qualified for the North Ayrshire finals netball tournament finishing top of their group in the Ardrossan schools cluster. 

“We really appreciate the support of Hunterston Rotary and the award will be used to buy new equipment including balls, storage and bibs with the WKPS logo for the team and future members. The award will cover these costs, making the squad look as good as they play.”

The netball finals will be held on Thursday June 13th at St Matthews Academy Saltcoats where the WKPS team will compete against top teams from each primary cluster in North Ayrshire.
