As well as the match there was a barbecue, ice creams and cake sale, and all money raised will go towards the cost of buying the £500 bike.
Gemma, of Withywood, said: "I play netball with the Jets netball team and thought it would be a great idea to get the girls involved.
"I wanted to raise money for a tricycle because at playtimes sometimes the children can get bored."
