The Inspirational Keisha Ferrigon Award
During the Autumn / Winter 2010 season we introduced the Inspirational Keisha Ferrigon Award. Keisha played for Swoosh and very sadly after a short illness she passed away in December 2010.
Keisha was before and during her illness an absolute delight, she was kind, gentle and one of the most genuine people I think that many of us have ever met. Even when ill she was more concerned about every one else and as such she has become our inspiration. Her family, friends, Team Swoosh and all of us at netball miss her greatly and we wanted a way to take her with us through the netball seasons and so the award was the answer.
We base the award on the following criteria;
Any person or team involved with The League.
Sportsmanship and Professionalism
Kindness, fairness and enjoyment of the great game of Netball.
This is the 10th anniversary of the award and for 8 of those years this team has been making its presence felt. Hard working, up for it, maybe a slightly feisty rep?! But with great sportsmanship and most of all the visible love and enjoyment of the great game - that bit is for Keisha and she would be proud to give this award to Team Fizzy 'O' s.
The Chesterfield Cath Askwith 'Spirit of Netball' Award
During the Autumn 2012 season we decided to introduce The Portland Trophy as donated by Steve Portland of Portland Trophies.. This award is to recognize sportsmanship, fairness and professionalism in relation to individuals and teams based on how they present themselves to others. In other words, players that are a credit to the great game of netball.
This award was renamed The Cath Askwith 'Spirit of Netball' Award in memory of our great friend who passed away in June 2017. Cath absolutely loved netball and had played, umpired and then ran our Chesterfield League and as such had always been very heavily involved. She was a huge character and we will miss her. This award will take her with us throughout the coming netball seasons.
The winner of this huge accolade for this year is a great netballer. She knows what she is doing, she brings it.. But with a great attitude and sportsmanship. She is caring and supportive of others on court. What stands out the most? Her lovely nature and personality combined with her visible enjoyment of the game. Cath would be proud to give the award to Mrs Carolynn Waller of team Hartbillies.
The Umpire of the Year Award 2019/20
Mrs Anna Mitchell
One of the most fabulous things has got to be when you win an award that has been voted for by other umpires and all the netballers that you umpire. Our Anna is such a great advocate for the game, she helps, supports, encourages, works hard getting round to that back line, she is fair and kind but firm. We all love and respect her sooo much. We all have a great time when Anna is around, huge congratulations and truly sooo deserved.

Barbara is a 'Glass of Glitter' (her saying) She is the fairest, most hard working, intelligent and caring umpire (and person) but the best bit is she brings brilliant umpiring, fun, zanyness and crackpotness to her games. Who could ask for more. .She has had a bugger of a year..but who would know? She carried on regardless, she looked after us!! Barbara has the esscence of netball going on..She is the special one, she is without doubt, as voted by all - The Umpire of the Year.
