Student Sport held its first ever inter-JSoc netball tournament with teams from five different universities — Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham, Bristol and Manchester.

Birmingham Jewish Society team emerged as champions at the Nottingham campus event — coined Nottsball — winning the tournament undefeated.
Jenna Morris, the Nottingham JSoc team’s manager, who organised the event, said that the tournament was “a massive celebration of how far we’ve come” in terms of women’s sports in JSocs.

Four years ago, Nottingham was the only JSoc to have a netball team.

Although Nottingham had previously lost to teams from Leeds and Birmingham, the side recently won their campus netball league, with Jenna praising the new players who had “transformed the team”.
