St Helens Bees Netball Club

A fab day for the bees last night! Some incredible skills on show and despite some disruption with training facilities, the girls adapted well and shone on court. Well done to the superstars and trainers of the night!

Last night's session focused on building our movement foundations, with the girls working hard on balance, landing technique, and plyometric exercises to improve their jumping power and elevation.

There was plenty of energy, determination, and laughter throughout the evening as the girls challenged themselves through a range of movement drills before putting their skills into practice during match play.

Our certificate winner, Jess, enjoyed herself so much she didn't want to leave! 🌟

A special shoutout goes to Veronica, our Superstar of the Night, who produced an incredible leap to receive the ball before confidently converting a fantastic goal during match play. What a moment! 👏🏐

Well done to all the girls for their effort, attitude, and enthusiasm. We can't wait to see how these foundations help us grow throughout the season! 🐝💛🖤

🤺🐝 WARRIOR BEES 🤺🐝 y3/4 prem 🐝
A tough game v y4 warrington in a noisey sports hall. We started well but missed our chances to convert q1 & some accurate shooting from Warrington seen us chase the game from the off. 8-2 down at half time & a regroup allowed warriors to re engage Q3 with some lovely link up play between Sam & Sophia & strong defence by Millie made it a 6-5 loss Q3. A win 4-3 Q4 but the clock beat us. An 19-11 loss but an amazing effort.
OPOM - Ivy - took a heavy fall and got back up.
CPOM - Sophia - Great resillience & boosted us Q3.

vs Warrington Wildcats
Super quick game today - the girls were flying down the court. We stuck to what we knew would win it: relentless defence, pressure, and forcing plenty of 3‑seconds. It paid off with a solid 12–6 win.
CPOM – Violet - nonstop work rate, gave absolutely everything
OPOM – Dotty - super speedy, always in the right spot to keep the attack flowing

💛🐝 BUZZER BEES 💛🐝 y5/6 div2🐝
took on 2nd place Nellies Nitro, we knew it was going to be a tough game but our girls didn’t let that stop them & we had a narrow lead going into Q4, the girls had fire in their bellies, linking up beautifully in attack & defence, as a collective the girls did everything that was asked of them on court.
A nail biting game & in q4 unfortunately Nellie’s took the lead winning 16-15.
CPOM- Freya - a force in defence bringing options across the court.
OPOM- Halle - worked brilliantly in attack using space & linking beautifully with Beatrice.

🌸🐝 FLOWER BEES 🌸🐝 y5/6 div 3🐝
Took on Penketh Panthers Jets in what started as a fast paced game, the girls showed how strong their teamwork is and managed to keep the pressure on Jets during Q1, we showed some great movement & won Q2 with the score 11-10 to us, unfortunately we didn’t take advantage of the free player & Jets capitalised in Q3 & 4. 15-21 loss.
OPOM Raeya, applied training from our masterclass, kept tight & on an angle
CPOM Poppy, great movement & shots within the D, did amazing playing out of position.

🍯🐝HONEY BEES 🍯🐝 Y5/6 Div 1 🐝
very unlucky today. Our defence absolutely smothered Nellies Flame’s attack & made it extremely difficult for them to move the ball through court. The game finished 22–19. We made a few mistakes that we simply couldn’t afford & they capitalised on it.
A huge thank you to Alice from Stingers, who stepped in & was superb throughout 👌🏻
OPOM & CPOM: Neve
Neve was outstanding today. Her timing was perfect, excellent movement, strong passing & shooting.

CPOM - Georgia - absolutely outstanding today! So many interceptions and tips throughout the court and always looking to help carry the ball through the court 🔥

⚡️🐝 LIGHTNING BEES⚡️🐝 Y1/2 prem🐝
Another brilliant game for Lightning today. We listened to our coaches and shortened our passes to improve our accuracy, which paid off with some lovely passages of play through the court. We started strongly in the first quarter with some fantastic goals and maintained that momentum throughout the game. A well deserved win for the girls!
Win 8-3
POM – Penny paired brilliantly with Eliza and was rewarded with two great goals.
CPOM – Eliza was on fire, scoring five goals and demonstrating some fantastic passing to her teammates.

💚🐝 ORCHID BEES 💚🐝 Y3/4 Div 1 🐝
Another strong comeback this morning for Orchids against Nellie’s Ravens this morning. We know these are always very competitive & well contested games. Both teams were evenly matched finishing Q1 2-2. However we let our guard down Q2 & with no attempts at goal Nellie’s took the lead. We struggled to find momentum Q3 but came back fighting Q4 to finish on a draw of 9-9.
OPOM Sophia who made some lovely drives & created space.
CPOM Charlotte last game for a few weeks & her fight & determination was clear to see
