Bideford schools swept the board when twenty-two teams from nine different schools in North Devon entered the North Devon netball rally, held at Edgehill College on Saturday.

Winners of the senior section were the Stella Maris Convent school, Bideford. The intermediate section was played in two parts, the finalists being Stella Maris and Convent High school, Ilfracombe, and again the Stella Maris team won. Bideford County Secondary School were the winners in the junior section. 

This is the fourth time in succession that Stella Maris Seniors have won the rally and the second time in succession that their intermediates have won.
Said the captain of the senior team, Carol Badcock; ‘It was thanks to the training by our games mistrees, Mrs Landolfi, that we won’.
