U11A tournament at St Michael's
We played amazingly well and our passing and shooting was excellent. In the first game, we played Derwent Lodge and won 5-1. Then we played Radnor House and won 15-1. For the last match in our group, we played The Granville School and we won 19-0. This put us top of the group and then we went on to play in the semi-finals against Hazelwood, which we won 13-1. At this point, we were so excited to play in the final, but we knew it was going to be a tough match against St Michael's. It was our hardest game and they made us work incredibly hard. We were 3-2 down at half-time, but we came back much stronger in the second half and went on to win 7-4. This meant that we won the whole tournament, which is an amazing achievement and we are incredibly proud of the team. Jessica
U11B tournament at St Michael's
The B team played a netball tournament at St Michael's and we all did really well. We played four teams and lost 2 and drew 2 games. First, we played against St Michael's and lost, but then in our second game we all did very well and tried hard to move around. Orla scored 2 goals and Georgia scored 2 goals. When we played against Walthamstow Hall, we all did very well and got into space a lot and got some chances to score and the end result was 2-2. There were five teams and we came 4th out of five. We all played really well and should be very proud of ourselves. Georgia
U10/11C v Caterham
We played really well, but sadly lost 4-9. The score was 4-4 at the end of the third quarter, but unfortunately for us, Caterham scored 5 goals in the last ten minutes. Isabella was player of the match and Victoria was great at blocking the ball. Anya
U10/11D v Caterham
On Wednesday, we played Caterham school and won 8-0! We worked together really well as a team and Hermione and Jessica were great shooters. Hermione scored 4 and Jessica scored 4. Isla was a great WD and stopped most of the balls coming into the shooting circle, but overall we all played well and that's how we won... great work everybody! Clara
U8/9A v Caterham
We played against Caterham and lost 10-1. The player of the match was Bluebell. The weather was very cold, but we persevered through the match. We could have passed more, but apart from that we played very well. Caterham are a strong side, but we didn't let that stop us. Bluebell
U8/9B v Caterham
On Thursday, we played against Caterham Prep. We lost 9-1 but we had great communication and teamwork. Isla scored our goal and we were on the side cheering her on. We still lost but I think we did excellently! Maya
