Newark's competitive netball club.
Built by women. Backed by a town.
Newark Roses Netball Club · 2026-27
The Club
There was nowhere in Newark to play competitive netball. So two mums built it.
Laura Willis and Chelsea Morgan have played since school. The town had junior netball and social netball, and nothing for women who wanted to compete. So in March 2026 they founded a club of their own. More than forty players answered the first call.
One season in, Newark Roses runs two squads in the Nottinghamshire County League, coached by qualified women, run by a volunteer committee, and affiliated to England Netball. Not for profit. Every penny back into the game.
