Estella Setting Standards
As the Bristol This Girl campaign goes from strength to strength, improving the access to sport and creating more options for women and girls, Storm’s Estella Maloney was selected to become one of the projects ambassadors.
Estella and the team of ambassadors will be seen touring the city with pop-up stands to increase the awareness of what is on offer for women and girls out there.
We have long been a big supporter of This Girl Can and we will continue to offer open sessions for all women and girls, whether you want to just role the ball out and have a laugh with your friends or play as competitively as you can we will do our best to cater for everyone.
Storming to the title
They did it.
After a long season the FireStorm team claimed the WEBBA League title with the only blip on the season an out of character defeat away to Swindon on a wet and windy Monday night.
The team finished the season with a 17 – 1 record, but very importantly for Coach also the best defensive record in the league.
‘We knew if we ran at teams for forty minutes we would have a good chance of winning, but we didnt want to just outscore people, we wanted to stop people from scoring and that mentality will definitely help the players grow when they move onto the next level, it is an old saying offence wins games but defence wins championships and our defence went a long way to securing the title for us.’ – Coach Brock
Having won the league title, FireStorm move onto the WEBBA Women’s Invitational Cup next month with the pool games at UWE, and then the Final at WISE in May.
