Year 8 Netball Tournament

Year 8 netball competition March 15th

A sunny day and perfect conditions for netball. 

Ten of the year eight girls travelled to Fairlands middle school for the annual netball tournament. The girls have been working really hard alongside a committed squad of thirty. 

The other schools present were Fairlands, Selwood, Oakfield and St. Dunstans. All the matches were superbly umpired by sixth form players from Kings. It was great to see some of our former pupils confidently umpiring. 

We got off to a positive start against Fairlands . Our girls won their first match 5-2 . 

After a rest, the team played St. Dunstans and despite a hesitant start, managed to win this match 4-2 . 

The next match was very close and even . This was against Selwood who had a very accurate GS. Our shooters , Olivia and Hannah soon caught up. The final score was 6-5 to Selwood. 

The final match was against Oakfield. It was close to start with , but a solid defence and accurate shooting meant we won 4-2. 

Well done to our GK Alexa who was voted player of the team twice. 

Hebe , was consistent as WA and captain. 

Well done to all the team: Alexa, Isla, Heidi, Marnie, Taylor, Grace, Heidi,Libby, Olivia and Hannah.
