THE girls of Thundersley’s SEEVIC College have regained their crown as eastern region champions.

In doing so, they have booked themselves a place in the national finals to be held at Loughborough University in April.

The college in Kiln Road has had an excellent reputation for netball going back many years and has often returned from the national championships with silverware.

Although the college lost their regional title last year as they went through a rebuilding period, SEEVIC have returned strong again and look forward to challenging the best netball teams around the country in the spring.

Head of competitive sport at SEEVIC, Craig Davidson, said: “It’s great to see our girls top of the tree once again.

“After spending a year in the wilderness, we have recruited well and hopefully the next few years will be another golden era for netball.

“Our coach Hannah Austin has worked really hard with the team and the target is to now bring home a medal from the national finals.”
