Silverpine netball counts the yearsSilverpine netball going strong 40 years on, tartan and all. Silverpine Netball was this week counting the years, all 40 of them, since volunteer parents got the club moving to answer a big sporting need for young local girls. The Silverstream and Pinehaven parents got together and the Silverpine Junior Netball Club was born, providing the weekend competition for Upper Hutt. Games were played at several schools and a few years later Upper Hutt junior netball was started to meet the demand with the two competitions organised on geographical lines, Chandler said. It also meant the keenest netballers were able to play in both Upper Hutt competitions and remains another Silverpine point of difference.
