So Near,
Yet So Far!
T he Massingham/
Harpley netball
team was one of
twelve teams to enter
the additional Village
Games competition
held at the impressive
UEA Sportspark, on
26th April.
Having played consis-
tently well all morning
the team earned their
place in the final
against Hethersett.
The final was fast and furious but pretty evenly matched which was reflected in
the eleven all draw when the whistle went! An extra five minutes was played to
determine the winner but again it was a draw. A further five minutes was played
but, incredibly, another two goals each meant that it was still a draw!
Having never come across this situation before, the baffled umpires conferred
about what to do next! Despite the competitive spirit, both teams were happy to
call it a draw, especially as some were anxious not to miss their Sunday night fix
of Ross Poldark!
Alas, it was not to be as the umpires decided there must be an outright winner. A
‘Golden Goal’ format was then played in which the first team to score two clear
goals was declared the winner. Hethersett became the champions when they
went on to score two goals in quick succession.
It was a good natured, friendly but extremely close match and Massingham
should be proud of their strong performance, only being pipped at the post after
three lots of extra time! The consolation was …. everyone was home in time for
Poldark! Ali Ward
Good luck to the team in the forthcoming Village Games at Lynnsport.

SCHOOL POND BIODIVERSITY PROJECT NEWS
May Day was celebrated at the biodiversity site by planting hundreds of bluebell seed-
lings raised by the primary school children over the past two years. Almost the entire
school took part in the planting (photo by Dick Nally). The children also enthusiastically
sowed seeds of woodland species around the bluebells and also helped to place several
small ‘homes’ for solitary
bees kindly supplied by
Kew Gardens. Before
returning to School there
was just time to look at
the excellent show of red
campion and other species
sown in the wood by the
children last year. These
flowers remain a very
attractive sight.
Several aquatic species
such as European white
water lily and fringed
water lily have recently been planted in the pond and protected from depredation by the
resident Mallards and Moorhens. Meadow species have been sown in newly prepared
areas of the wild flower meadow and ferns, donated by Carl Gostling, planted in dry
shade by the woodland hedge. Our continuing survey of plant biodiversity shows we now
have approaching 100 species on the site.
The next working party is on Saturday 6th June starting at 10 am. Please join us. Mike Jackson
