The Gibraltar Netball Under 17 squad have won Silver in Division 2 at the Europe Netball Under 17 Challenge held in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The team beat Isle of Man and Switzerland but fell to France. Team Gibraltar managed to place a very respectable 7th overall, winning silver in their division.

The Minister for Sport, the Hon Leslie Bruzon, who is currently in Turin supporting Team Gibraltar at the Special Olympics World Winter Games, is delighted with the result: “Although I am away, I have been following the team’s progress on the livestream channel and I am delighted with their performance. A very well-deserved silver medal and a lot to build on for the future. I was also very happy to hear the news that local umpire Siobhan Gregory was selected to umpire the Division 1 Final. It is a clear reflection of her performance at the tournament as well as her sheer determination and hard work. Well done to the squad, to Siobhan, and to all the coaches and members of the GNA who make these moments a reality.”
