Fakenham netballers are sporting a new look thanks to a donation from a broadband internet company. 

Fakenham Netball Club was given £500 by the firm Upp for the kit, after a fundraiser the club held failed to reach its target. 

Zoe Emmerson, who runs the club, said she wanted to thank the company.

She said: “I love watching our young ones and less confident adults develop in both the game and hopefully, their confidence too.

"It’s great that we can look the part in our new hoodies.”

The club has been running for 15 years and has teams in both the King's Lynn and Dereham netball leagues.

It caters for women and girls of all ages and abilities and aims to be non-competitive, fun and inclusive. 

Upp’s marketing communications manager, Neelam Sultan, said: “We are delighted to be sponsoring the hoodies for the ladies at Fakenham Netball Club.

"It’s fantastic to be able to support local clubs and see women in sport get their fair share of opportunities.”
