History of the League

It was a tale of three clubs, way back in 1976 there was only 3 senior clubs in the North West Wales area playing Netball. Craig-Y-Don, Llandudno Ladies

and Old Colwyn. 

A Youth Club Co-ordinator passed around

a questionnaire to help find out what the 

young women in the area wanted in

the way of available sports. Netball 

had an overwhelming response!

That year a league was formed with three senior 

clubs and 3 youth clubs, within two seasons it had 

grown to a really impressive 23 teams and in 1978 the came birth of the official North West Netball League.
