We welcome back for the third year our 'hockey squad' as the Black Gold team. This group play club hockey for West Bridgford Monarchs Hockey Club in the winter season and also now enjoy playing netball in the summer months as Cliftonettes club members.
The Navy squad is the club's U15 players who are playing in a senior league for the first time.
In the winter season they took part in the Nottinghamshire Netball Association U16 League which introduced them to a higher level of competition.

The updated East Midlands Regional League Final Results 2007- 2008 document can be found on the Downloads page.
In November 2007 Lincoln Imps B were deducted 1 point for playing an unregistered player. They should have been deducted 5 points.
The results table has now been amended so Lincoln Imps have finished on 29 points 1 less than Cliftonettes.
Therefore Cliftonettes do not have to attend the Regional Qualifying Tournament on the 8th June since they have secured their place in Division 2 of the Regional League for 2008- 2009.
The aim is to improve on this season's results & gain a HIGHER position in Division 2. In the top two places would be great!!
