TAUNTON will be represented strongly at a number of national netball academies.

A total of 11 Taunton School netballers have been selected to train and play with a wide range of academies this season.

Megan Conabeare has been selected for the Regional Performance Academy Affiliate and Regional Academy, Ellie-May Vohra for the Regional Academy, Daisy West for the County Academy and Isla May, Martha Mileham, Freya Tyler, Lucy Regan, Leila Fisher, Hetty James, Kara Klimczak-Gange and Sophia Wilson for the Satellite Academy.

This follows Taunton School’s success at the U14/U16 County Tournament earlier in the term, with both teams qualifying for the Regional Finals in January.

Both teams performed well winning all but one of their matches.

Players of the tournament were Isla May (U14) and Eleri Brown (U16).
