Netball
We’re currently at capacity – apart from needing skilled shooters. Please contact us if you’re a GS/GA looking for a new club or if you play another position and would like to be added to our waiting list.
We are Bristol’s most inclusive netball team welcoming players from all backgrounds and communities. We believe everyone has the right to feel a sense of belonging both on and off the court.
We have three teams in the Avon League – in divisions 3, 5 and 7 – plus an amazing coach and qualified umpires. But we’re more than that. We’re energetic, kind and values-led. And also love to have fun at our regular social events.
Use the contact form to reach Easton Cowgirls Netball (please say it’s netball you are interested in in your message).
Training
Training takes place between August and May on Thursday evenings 7 – 9pm at Fairfield School, BS7 9NL. Our training is inclusive so you can go at your own pace.

Our club history
The netball team started in 2004 as a drunken rant from a few girls who reminisced about playing in school all those years ago. Not all of us had had a good experience of sport at school, so we decided to make it as fun as possible. Sharky, a local with our sponsors (The Plough), took the first step of hiring us a court. Finding free courts was difficult and many a time we played on junior basketball courts, (including ones we had to jump walls to get at)! A year later the Cowboys were clever enough to spot our outrageous debauchery, and invited us into their madness!

Netball Reports
Stolen from facebook: Swift match report from tonight’s friendly in case you’re interested: a mixture of 6s, 11s and new recruits, including one who came for the very first time, took on a Div 7 Brislington team. In order to give everyone at least half a competitive game, there were lots of substitutions and position changes (as well as taking turns to play Brislington’s WD!) We held it together well and were only behind by one goal at halftime. We launched some strong attacks in the third quarter and moved ahead by 4, but...

Jo reports thus: Well us birds had our end of season tournament on Saturday. As netball is not an Olympic sport the organisers decided to make everyone represent an Olympic country. Wales was not allowed (we had costumes lined up for that one) so we opted to represent France due to an overload of frilly knickers.. We got battered in the first round and won 1 game out of 5, then we were all reseeded and we went on a winning streak winning all of our round 2 games which put us in the final! Then we lost the final to Hawaii. Everyone had a great...
