U11 IAPS Small Schools National Championships

The U11 A team played in the IAPS National Small Schools Netball Final at West Hill Park School, in Titchfield. In our group stages, we lost the first two games to two incredibly strong teams. We then won our third match 5-1. The two schools that we lost to were actually the two schools that came first and second in the whole tournament. We got through to the knockout stages of the Plate Tournament and we stayed undefeated all afternoon. We won all of our matches in that section, so we played in the semi-finals and won that game. We went into the finals and played York House and we won, so we won the whole tournament. All in all, the team played brilliantly and I really think we deserved our medal. Beatrix

U9A v Sevenoaks Prep

So we lost 7-1 to Sevenoaks Prep and we tried really hard to get some goals in. I think we all did very well and tried to mark each other. The match tea was delicious and we had a very good time at Sevenoaks Prep. Kiki

U9B v Sevenoaks Prep

The B team played Sevenoaks Prep and lost 5-3 but enjoyed an improved performance. The goalscorers were Isla, Bluebell and Evie. Isabelle played really well in defence and Maka made some good interceptions. It was a slow start, but the passing improved and that led to the goals. Isla

U8A v Sevenoaks Prep

The match was a lot of fun and the score was 5-1 to us. Imogen scored 2 and Lara scored 3. The team played very well and the player of the day was Lara. It was a challenging game. Lara
