Hethersett are once again South Norfolk sporting champions - for the fourth year in a row.
Hethersett and the Meltons won the large villages/market towns section of the Active Norfolk South Norfolk Sports and go on to compete in the county finals at UEA Sportspark on July 13th.
Once again the fierce but friendly rivalry between Hethersett and Diss was to the fore with the teams locked together on points at the end of the 11 sport competition at Long Stratton. A countback system also failed to separate the two teams and the competition was declared a tie with both going through to the county final.
Last year saw Diss and Hethersett tie in the county final, only for the top prize to be awarded to Diss on countback.
“It was another great day of family sport and we were delighted to win the South Norfolk event for the fourth year in a row. In the last three years we have been runners-up in the county competition and so will be looking to go one better this year,” said Village Sports Co-ordinator Peter Steward.
The competition was split into three groups for small villages (populations under 1250), medium villages (populations between 1251 and 4250) and large villages and market towns (populations over 4251 and under 10,000). Hethersett and the Meltons came top in a number of sports including archery, badminton, darts, table tennis and five-a-side football. Eleven sports were featured with many being divided into junior and senior competitions.
The Hethersett team featured well over 50 competitors of all ages from eight to eighty.
“It really is a competition for families and people of all ages. Our latest trophy will be on show, alongside many of the other trophies and awards gained by the village over the past 10 years in a new cabinet in Hethersett Library,” Peter Steward added.
