New sport in Trowbridge put to test
10:50am Friday 3rd April 2009 in Search
Pupils from Grove Primary School, Trowbridge, took part in a 'netby' tournament on Friday (37900-1)
MORE than 50 children from the Grove Primary School in Trowbridge got to try out a brand new sport at Wiltshire College’s Trowbridge campus last Friday.
Youngsters in Year 5 tried their hand at Netby, a cross between netball and rugby devised by second year students from the college’s sports course.
The students visited Grove Primary School once a week for four weeks to teach the children the sport, culminating in a competition.
Sports lecturer Kevin Hyde said: “I wanted to provide realistic experiences for my students and they were all fantastic.”
