CHESHIRE Stars A followed a win in their opening match of the season in the Everybody Netball League with another.

The Middlewich-based team, for whom goalkeeper Berni Flexen was the pick of their players, ran out 30-24 victors against Alsager in a Championship Division fixture.

It was a difficult start for both of the clubs' representatives in the competition's top-flight.

Stars T battled until the final whistle of a hard-fought encounter with Aim before they were edged out by a single goal in a 25-24 reverse.

Claire Brown's accurate shooting earned for her a player-of-the-match award.

Stars S lost 38-20 against N20 in their Premier Division clash, but collected a bonus point for their efforts.

Karen Dickson was an influential figure for Stars R when they cruised to a 37-5 success against Sandbach Titans in Division One, a triumph built on solid defence and timely interceptions all over the court.
