n the week of the 18 Oct 21, a number of players from across the Corps got together to compete in the Inter-Corps Netball competition. The players involved ranged from Craftsman still in their trade training, up to Brigadier. After a successful training period at Lyneham, the REME entered two teams into the competition, which is an achievement in itself, given the numbers of females within the Corps. Team A was made up of a mix of the more experienced players while the Team B were a brand-new team that made their strong debut at the competition. Team REME were very fortunate to also have Lt Col Laura Ellis (the current Army netball coach) to aid in giving both teams advice on court. She joined the REME Team A and with her accurate shooting and experience, guided the team through to the Final. Team B were fortunate to have Captain Jennifer Thomas as their team manager, who mentored the less experienced members of the squad and encouraged everyone when they were up against the eventual winners of Div 2 (RLC B Team). Although Team B were a new and young team compared to their rivals, they still managed to win two games and give some more experience teams, a competitive game.
