The Cherries

At Residential Estates, we are proud to support The Cherries - a passionate, spirited, and truly inspiring netball team whose journey reminds us what sport is really about: fun, friendship, and resilience.

Formed in 2018 by a group of friends rekindling their love for the game, The Cherries have grown into a close-knit team of 9 players aged 31 to 58. Their roots may be social, but their achievements are impressive. Over the past three seasons, they’ve soared through the divisions - climbing from the fourth straight up to the first - with their latest promotion secured after a strong second-place finish in the league.

Their core mission? To stay active, stay happy, and enjoy every moment on the court - win or lose. As their Team Captain puts it:

“After playing netball for many years, I couldn’t be prouder of the Cherry team we now have. Evidently, our results are great and we are delighted with another promotion, but most importantly, I love the friendship us girls have on and off court. As soon as a game is over, we are counting down the days until we are back together, laughing and enjoying our time together.”

It’s this spirit that makes sponsoring The Cherries such an honour for us at Residential Estates. We’re thrilled to support a team that embodies passion, perseverance, and pure joy in every match they play.

  • The Cherries have just finished the league in second place, meaning they have been promoted to the first division. That’s three promotions in three seasons!

What makes The Cherries stand out isn’t just their on-court success, but the joy they bring to the game. With an emphasis on fun and camaraderie over intense training, this team proves that laughter, teamwork, and a shared love for the sport can achieve great things. Whether they’re playing competitively or taking on charitable challenges, The Cherries show what can happen when a team supports each other.

Our Managing Director, Michael Holliday, added “At Residential Estates, we’re passionate about supporting local teams that bring people together. The Cherries embody teamwork, commitment, and community spirit - values we’re proud to stand behind."
