Host wins schools netball tourney
PIPING hot chocolate was served up all day when Battle Abbey Prep School played host to the area's netball tournament last Saturday.
The autumnal weather made an excellent backdrop for the outdoor games which saw the Hastings Road hosts emerging the winners. Primary schools in Bexhill and district get together several times a year for various tournaments but the prep school are usually hosts for the netball competition.
The team from St Peter and St Paul School, Buckhurst Road were runners-up but it was a close tournament for all the teams including St Mary Magdalene's, King Offa and Chantry Primary School.
