WIDNES & RUNCORN 6TH FORM COLLEGE
NETBALL TOUR TO BARBADOS

Tour Information

The group enjoyed a 16-day tour based on the South coast of this friendly Island. Barbados offers an irresistible mix of laid-back Bajan lifestyle, where the tropical sun is fanned by the trade winds together with a host of sandy beaches dotted along the coastline.

Barbados used to be known as “Little England” and although the island has enjoyed 30 years of independence, a warm welcome is always shown to its British visitors. It's passion for sport is always evident and competitive games can always be arranged.

THE NETBALL

Travelling with ‘A’ and ‘B’ teams meant that a wide selection of players could experience the enthusiasm of Barbadian netball.

A total of 10 matches were arranged by Burleigh Travel and the tourists competed successfully obtaining a share in victories and near losses with their hosts.

The Widnes and Runcorn players competed throughout and approached each game with enthusiasm and were a credit to themselves and their College.

SERIOUS ABOUT SPORT….

As in any sports tour the reason that Widnes and Runcorn 6th Form College travelled to Barbados was to play netball and this was taken extremely seriously by the staff and players alike.

Training sessions were arranged by Burleigh Travel at the National Netball Stadium and yoga sessions formed part of the daily routine throughout the tour.

As you can see from the pictures below all players were extremely proud to represent their College in the sporting arena.
