On Thursday, our mixed year 5 and 6 netball teams played in some friendlies against Dorridge School. Team 1 had a tough start in their first match, taking a little while to get in to the game against a strong Dorridge side. After going 6-0 down, we managed to claw it back in the second half, but it just wasn’t enough, unfortunately losing 10-5. In the second game, they stepped it up a gear and displayed some fantastic netball winning 12-0. A phenomenal display of shooting by Finlay scoring the majority of the goals! Player of the match as chosen by the opposition was Meila - the bright red face at the end showed just how hard she worked!

Team 2 had a slow start in their first match, but soon got in to the flow as the game progressed. In their second game they stepped it up and showed some great passages of play, finding space, and feeding the ball accurately in to the shooting circle where Sienna scored her first goal - a deserving player of the match! Unfortunately, they lost both their matches, but a lot of fun was had. A big shout out to Theo & Chloe on their netball debut tonight. Amazing performances from both of you!

Well done to all who played tonight - a lovely evening of friendly competitive netball.

Our netball team has had a very busy time over the past few weeks.

On a lovely sunny evening at the beginning of term, they took to the court against Our Lady of the Wayside. It was a very close fought match, with both teams playing some great netball. Both teams were very competitive, chasing down every loose ball and showing great energy on court. Our defence were on fire with some brilliant interceptions, creating lots of chances for our shooters, but unfortunately we struggled to convert these to goals. Final score 3-6. Special mention to Isla who got oppositions player of the match - thoroughly deserved!

Only 2 days later, the team came up against St Alphege. We started off strong and then continued to grow in to the game, working well as a team to bring the ball down court, communicating and connecting well with each other. After the first quarter we were 2-0 up; the goals kept coming after that! The team listened well to the feedback from the previous match, which really did make all the difference. Amazing shooting from Finlay, Isla, Pearl and Louis all scoring goals tonight. Final score 13-0! Defence were on fire, not letting a single goal in. Another solid performance from Isla (brilliant shooting) earned her another worthy player of the match.

The next opportunity was a netball tournament at Lode Heath School. The team played 3 matches in the group stage. We came up against Solihull school first which we knew would be a tricky match; an unfortunate loss of 1-8. We then played our second match against St George & St Teresa and smashed it winning 6-0. We ended with our third match against Olton and again came away with a win 4-0. Unfortunately it was only the winners of each group who went through to the semi’s/finals which we narrowly missed out on (coming 2nd place in our group to Solihull School). Super proud of the team - Pearl, Aicha, Isla, Florence, Meila, Noah & Finlay and thanks as always to the supporters on the sideline cheering the team on.
