A police netball team has been recognised for its commitment to sport and community at a new awards ceremony.
The Wiltshire Police Netball Team was named the first-ever Sports Team of the Year at the inaugural Wiltshire Police Sports Club Awards, which celebrate individuals and teams who contribute to the success of the club.
The team has grown steadily since its relaunch four years ago, bringing together experienced and new players in a welcoming environment focused on skill development and participation.
Hayley Hardie from the netball team said: "We've got a great team and the opportunity to play with people we wouldn't ordinarily meet through our roles.
"I feel honoured to represent the Force at the PSUK tournaments."
The team has competed at the annual Police Sport UK (PSUK) Netball Tournament, earning the Fair Play Award in their first year.
They are set to compete in their fourth tournament this September in Newcastle.
Beyond competition, the team regularly trains, plays friendly matches, and organises social events to strengthen team bonds and support officer wellbeing.
They have also hosted two charity tournaments, raising funds for Wiltshire Search and Rescue.
The award recognises the team’s achievements on and off the court, including the inclusive culture they have built.
