CHESHIRE Stars T continued their pursuit of a position in the table’s top-half when they recorded another victory in the Everybody Netball League last week.
The Middlewich-based team prevailed 33-22 against Vipers with defensive duo Alex Cooper and Dekeisha Entwisle sharing the player-of-the-match accolades afterwards.
Stars S were outclassed by Premier Division champions Oaklands, who remain unbeaten this season, but they fought until the end of their meeting at Middlewich Leisure Centre.
Alisan Barrett-Cliffe impressed at centre, but Sharon Kennerley’s relentless energy at wing-defence made her the outstanding individual performer.
Stars A sit third in the Championship Division following a 34-24 win against a depleted Bentley.
Abby Hilldrup was chosen as the victors’ best player.
Verstatile Marianne Needham adjusted to an unfamiliar role at centre when Stars R took on table-toppers Ladyhawks L in Division One.
The teams could not be separated in the first half, but the promotion-favourites found a second wind after half-time to take a 28-19 win.
