Almost three decades of success have been capped by the best season for the all-conquering York Civil Service netball team.

The Civil corps have been crowned Northern Clubs League division two champions, amassing 32 points out of a possible 35.

But that's not all. Civil Service finished third in the West Yorkshire Super League to add to their unprecedented sequence as champions of the York and District League for the 27th consecutive year.

As well as the nine players pictured Jo Mennell and Jenni Fernley have also played vital roles in the landmark campaign.

Civil Service are currently looking to recruit players for the new season. Anyone interested should contact Sam Teader on 01904 640308 or Anna Evans on 01904 621433.
