Bateman & Per Ardua handicap knockout competitions
Established in 1960, the Bateman Shield and Per Ardua competitions are open to all clubs entering our County League.
Teams play full-length matches with an initial handicap of goals based on their finishing position in the County League from the previous season. This evens out the chances of the teams and allows for closer competition. It also gives lower-placed teams a greater opportunity of winning against higher-placed teams.
The Premier Division, Division 1 and Division 2 play in the Bateman competition and Divisions 3-5 in the Per Ardua competition. Both competitions are played throughout the season culminate in finals which are played at the end of the season.
If you have any questions, please contact the Bateman & Per Ardua Secretary.

Competition dates
The first 2 rounds and the quarter finals are 'play-by' dates. This gives teams the flexibility to mutually arrange fixtures on a date to suit both teams, with the possibility of freeing up a Saturday. If you cannot agree on a date the play by date must be used.
The semi finals and finals are fixed dates in the netball calendar. These games will be played at central venue and neutral umpires will be provided.
