Club History

Robins Netball Club was established back in 1980, and is still going strong today!

We were first established when asked to form a team to play against Bruton Primary school, as they needed practice for a tournament in Somerset. After this, we realised how much we enjoyed it and formed a team. Initially for fun and then to play in the Frome summer league. We began by playing in our jeans and T-shirts, and then secondhand kit. With much fundraising and a little help from local businesses we got our first kit. As a fan of Manchester United we chose the colours - black skirts and red polo shirt, and we became The Robins as we were red breasted.

We began playing at many school courts. Later on, in about 1984 we were approached by Gordon Fry, as a town councillor, to see if we would be interested in our own court. We agreed and spent around a year getting grants, fundraising and literally digging in fence posts to enable this to happen. Eventually in 1985 the court was completed. 

Since then, the court has been transformed into a MUGA with flood lights, to allow the club and other organisations to use it all year round.
