SPORTY lawyers on the Kippax Beaumont Lewis netball team are looking for new opponents.

Colleagues from the firm, based in Bolton, have regularly swapped legal practice for netball practice since they formed a team in April.

The KBL team, which trains once a week after work, has hired a professional coach to help the members to get back into their stride, as some compete regularly while others have not played for several years.

They are aiming to set up an amateur league and are keen to take on other local teams.

KBL are looking for another 10 teams to set up a weekly league.

Christine Makinson, KBL's netball team captain and legal executive at the firm, said: "We have played four matches against other companies in Bolton so far, and it was so much fun that we want to continue."

Any team interested in playing netball against Kippax Beaumont Lewis should call Christine on 01204 558258.
