🎉🏐 HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY KIARA! 🏐🎉

A very happy 50th birthday to our fabulous U16 coach, Kiara! 🥳💙

50 years young… although we’re not sure how many of those have been spent running around after netballers! 😂🏃‍♀️🏐

We hope your birthday is filled with cake, celebrations and absolutely NO coaching drills today! 🎂🥂🤣

Thank you for all your hard work, patience and commitment to the girls — we couldn’t do it without you! 💙

Have the best day, Kiara… 50 never looked so good! 😉🎉

Love from all at Down Netball Club 🏐💙

Their fantastic performance has earned them a place in the Home Nations Cup, where they will travel to Birmingham this July to represent Northern Ireland. 🇬🇧🇮🇪

What an incredible achievement – we are so proud of you both and wish you the very best of luck as you take on the Home Nations! 💪🍀

🚨 CHAMPIONS ALERT 🚨

Huge congratulations to the Down Netball Social Netballers on winning the Let’s Get Social competition run by Netball NI! 🏆🎉

Who knew all those “we’re only here for the craic” sessions would end with an actual trophy? 😂

Proof that social netball is not just about the chats, the laughs, and deciding where to go for social refreshments😉… it’s also about winning! 💪🏐

A massive well done to everyone involved. Enjoy your moment of glory — and try not to become too professional now. We still expect plenty of questionable passes and sideline gossip! 🤣

Good luck ladies!! 💙
