The ladies' team in Stonehaven is called Cowie Ladies Netball Team. They were formed way back in the summer of 2005... Getting on a bit now!

They sprang from a 10 week course that originally ran at the Stonehaven Leisure Centre, and once the course was over, there was enough enthusiasm left to start a new team.

The team entered into the Aberdeen and District league for the 2005 season, and were really quite pleased to find that they finished in mid-table obscurity by the end of the season. There were highs and lows during the 2005 / 2006 season, and that was merely over the choosing of kit.

Fortunately however, the kit issue was ironed out, and they now quite cheerfully play in black and red - red tops with black trim, black skirts with red panels, and delightful black gym knickers. The bibs are black with red lettering. The team just stopped short of only allowing players with either black or red hair to join, on account of the fact that you need at least 7 people in the team, and that extra rule would have left them with only 2 players.

The 2006 / 2007 season saw us entering a team into the league again, and we saw a period of huge growth in the club (numbers, not waistlines).

At the start of the 2007 / 2008 season, we are in the very fortunate position of having 2 teams in the district leagues and a recreational team as well, not entered in the leagues this season. The Cowie Blacks team finished second in the 3rd division, and will be promoted to the 2nd division for next season, and the Cowie Reds team finished a very respectable fifth in the 3rd division. The Cowie Whites (the recreational team) did splendidly in the friendly matches that they have played over the season, and everyone in the club has performed really well, and come on leaps and bounds this year. Well done everybody!!
